Excellent property. Staff can’t do enough for you. Very welcoming and helpful outside hotel dining options are very limited and its very quiet Natural kendwa restaurant was very good.

Quiet lil slice of paradise

Absolutely beautiful property! I stayed in Karibu 3, and perhaps honestly felt like I was spoiling myself. The room has a private patio and was situated in a quiet courtyard with a pool view. Staying at Kendwa Natural Villa gives you access to the beach at Kendwa Rocks - so you can enjoy the area without all the noise from the bigger resort, which was important to me. The food at the restaurant was delicious and fresh. And the staff will treat you like family! If you need a massage, Queen at the spa is a miracle worker! Thank you, Kendwa Natural Villa ❤️
