Travelers' Choice
VOI Kiwengwa Resort is an Italian Management Club, located on one of the most beautiful beaches of the Eastern coast of Zanzibar; it lies at only 50 minutes from Stone Town, 45 km from the airport. Wisely blending modern comforts and local tradition, this village retains a vivid “African" style, emphasized by a spectacular wooden structure in “casuarinas" and "makuti", a fiber obtained from the palm, that hosts the hall and the common services.

The place is so full of vegetation that is unreal. The bungalows are super clean and decorated with taste. Simple but elegant. The staff is all friendly and helpful. The beach is clean and well maintained. The only point for me was only the food as i would have liked some local specialty to be served during dinner. Only reason for not giving 5 stars ( but this is very personal I would recommend the place without thinking twice). The best part of all is the architecture of the entrance and the roof in the hall. Absolutely breathtaking,,,,

We spent one full week at the resort. We absolutely loved the location, both the most beautiful beach in the area and the garden/bungalow grounds of the hotel. A true paradise. The staff are friendly, especially the beach master - Asante sana, Ali! So is the room manager Felippe, very helpful - grazie! The beach bar staff could, however, get a bit of extra training on customer service. The rooms are ok, a bit dark and could use an update, but cleaned daily and with aircon and working wifi (which works even at the beach, which is not often). The food was also ok. Not everything was good, but the choice at lunch and dinner time big enough (and changed daily) to find something you will like. Breakfast a bit mundane after a few days. All in all, a place we will seriously consider in the future for a comeback.…

This place is really good for the price, however it definitely isn’t the best resort to stay in, but works for a budget traveller! The pool is somewhat average but yet still very enjoyable. The rooms are basic but have lovely balconies. Would recommend as a good option for a budget concision traveller

We did stay at this place for 12 nights. First thing is that is owned by Italian company and management and most of the staff speaks Italian which is amazing and to be honest we felt great. Manager Filippo was very helpful when we wanted to change room (due to evening entertainment in lobby, we like more quite places). No problem for him at all. He is very friendly and what I really like that he is pretty much around and if someone wants to talk to him he is there available for them. This acting is absolutely perfect and this is customer service. Hotel is really nice, rooms very clean, food was very tasty, a lot of italian cuisine and local food as well. We did stay over New year and they had a nice special dinner for customers. Beach is beautiful. the ebb of the sea can be sometime a huge thing but than you can walk pretty much everywhere in the ocean. We loved this place and we will come back.…

This resort is a good choice. The rooms are well presented with mosquito nets, being cleaned daily by the staff with fresh towels provided. There is good air con in the room which made for a comfortable stay. The resort has three main dining areas- a big space for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a beach side space for lunch and a pizzeria for dinner that you have to book in advance. The food is western friendly with lots of pasta. There are also snacks available throughout the day. The pool is well kept and the hotel backs onto a beautiful beach with white sands and blue water. You will always get a sun bed. The all inclusive drinks are local spirits and beers as to be expected. The hotel is Italian swayed. We don’t speak Italian but had no issues. As a fussy eater, the pizzeria ensured I always had food I enjoyed eating. The management were friendly. We had a few minor issues that they sorted out promptly for us without any hassle. All staff at the hotel were friendly and eager to help us. My only criticism would be, I would have liked to enjoy more authentic dishes for Zanzibar as part of the all inclusive. We went on a day trip to stone town and there were so many beautiful dishes and spices that we felt we did miss out on as many of the all inclusive food and dishes provided you could eat anywhere in the world, or at home. Despite being a big resort, it did not feel crowded. There was a mix of couples, families and groups of adults. I would say it would be suitable for anyone. There is entertainment provided a few nights a week with live music which was a nice addition. We enjoyed our stay here.…

Beautiful area on a lovely beach, but so are many other better places to stay along this stretch. Service is everything and due to being made to feel unwelcome by some staff, I would not recommend this place, as it will spoil your holiday.
