So I paid over 1,000 for one night stay here. The night before I stayed at a different all inclusive for 700 and they offered so much more. At the Kilindi the property is starting to fall apart, there’s paint in the pools that comes off on your body. And for the price your paying they do not suggest or offer any extras . If you want dinner on the beach or a floating breakfast you have to chase them around and might not happen anyway. The final touch of disappointment for me was the overwhelming smell of burning trash /plastic in the morning. Covered the whole property and it was hard to breath….they need to bring their price wayyyy down.

Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all! Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition. Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy. Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a night, for a so-so experience. The bright spot is service and food, but overall this property is way way way overpriced!!

We loved Kilindi. My husband and I came here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The property is gorgeous, and the friendly staff looked after us beautifully the entire time. Daudi was our personal attendant and he was so friendly and attentive without ever hovering over us. The chef makes incredible fresh meals, we didn't have a single thing at breakfast, lunch, or dinner that we didn't love. The bar makes great drinks and fresh daily juices. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic, barefoot getaway, this is the perfect place. The room are enormous with outdoor pools, lounges, and showers. The cleaner left us flowers on the bed daily. The spa is lovely for a massage. And again, all the food is incredible! We loved that you can switch around where you eat for each meal. We loved having a meal down by the beach one night and private breakfasts on our own terrace. The beach is quiet and private in a little fishing harbor, but you can walk/swim to kendwa beach if you want a little more action on a large public beach. My only tip for Kilindi would be to have a small section of the pool that's under cover. It would have been nice to be able to be in the pool without the sun scorching down. We really hope to go back one day! Thank you Kilindi!

Fantastico e Unico

Fiquei hospedado com minha esposa no hotel no mes passado. Tenho por habito, ler os reviews de hospedes antes de reservar hoteis. Confesso que li alguns reviews que depreciavam bastante o hotel e fiquei um pouco inseguro, mas como estes eram uma minoria, resolvi confirmar a reserva. A experiencia no hotel foi fantastica, desde o momento que chegamos. Fomos calorosamente recebidos pela equipe do hotel, inclusive Andre, o gerente, que eh muito gentil e solicito. Tudo no hotel nos surpreendeu positivamente. A piscina, o restaurante, a comida, tudo uma experiencia muito agradavel e deliciosa. Mas os pontos altos realmente sao a Vila e as pessoas. A vila eh grande e magnifica, uma estadia realmente muito unica e especial. Descansamos e aproveitamos muito a area externa da vila, o quarto eh otimo e o melhor eh o banheiro aberto. Inesquecivel. Por fim, devo falar das pessoas, todos os funcionarios sao muito bem treinados, estao sempre atentos e prontos para ajudar e atender todos os desejos dos hospedes. Sao todos muito especiais. Definitivamente foi uma das melhores experiencias que ja tivemos em hoteis e recomendo fortemente.

Ожидали большего

Плюсы- большая зелёная территория, красивый вид из номера, хороший живописный пляж. На территории много всякой живности - обезьянки, лемуры) Минусы: 1,В спальне все двери и ставни на окнах сделаны по типу «жалюзи», то есть везде много щелей. С одной стороны- это хорошо, много свежего воздуха, с другой- получаешь все прелести сна в тропическом лесу, где постоянно кто-то кричит или поёт))) Кондиционер очень слабый и не может охладить весь проступающий в комнату воздух, так что если ночи жаркие, то он вам не поможет 2 Из спальни в туалет надо подниматься по достаточно высокой лестнице. 3.Отделка номеров также требует реновации. 4.В ресторане вечером очень темно, практически не видно того, что ты ешь.

Très belle surprise sur la côte de Kwenda à l’ouest de Zanzibar. Séjour dans une très belle villa dans un jardin luxuriant et avec une magnifique vue sur l’océan. Visite surprise de bushbabies et / où singes locaux! Personnel très souriant et disponible. Tout est mis en œuvre pour préserver la privacy et satisfaire les exigences. Restauration top avec un effort particulier pour changer les placements des tables et proposer des emplacements enchanteurs. Managers et équipe au top ! Plage très sgréable et joliment aménagée.
