Se ho amato Zanzibar, buona parte del merito è da attribuire al Kuwa Zanzibar Resort, ai preziosissimi titolari Angelica e Manuel, al meraviglioso Staff, alla super guida Gigi Bravo che ci hanno consigliato. La nostra Camera era perfetta per 2 adulti e 3 bambini, ampia, luminosa, ben climatizzata e pulita, ma tutta la struttura è ben tenuta e costantemente in perfetto ordine. Diverse soluzioni per la ristorazione meno di 2 minuti a piedi, spiaggia di Kiwengwa raggiungibile in 2-3 minuti. RiSceglierei Kuwa Zanzibar senza pensarci un attimo.

Nous avons séjourné une semaine à l’hôtel Kuwa à Zanzibar, et malheureusement, notre expérience a été loin d’être satisfaisante. La chambre qui nous a été attribuée ne correspondait absolument pas aux photos que nous avions vues en ligne. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été confrontés à plusieurs problèmes : un ventilateur au plafond mal accroché, qui semblait sur le point de tomber à tout moment, une odeur désagréable persistante dans la salle de bain, et un matelas de très mauvaise qualité avec une tige en métal qui ressortait du côté droit, rendant le sommeil inconfortable. De plus, la construction de la chambre laissait à désirer, avec une porte et fenêtres difficile à ouvrir et à fermer une peinture abîmé, des trous de visseuse dans les murs, ce qui ajoutait à notre frustration. La piscine, qui pourrait être un point fort de l’hôtel, nous a également déçus. L’eau était trouble, ce qui ne donnait pas envie de s’y baigner, et les nids de fourmis autour de la piscine rendaient l’endroit peu accueillant pour se détendre. Il est important de souligner que, malgré ces nombreux désagréments, la femme de ménage était extraordinaire. Elle a fait de son mieux pour rendre notre séjour plus agréable, et nous la remercions sincèrement pour son travail acharné. De plus, le personnel de l’hôtel était gentil et serviable, toujours prêt à aider, ce qui a quelque peu compensé la mauvaise qualité des infrastructures. Nous avons également apprécié notre séjour à Kiwengwa en général, car la plage est magnifique et le restaurant de la plage est agréable, offrant une belle vue et une bonne cuisine. Cependant, lorsque nous avons exprimé notre mécontentement en personne et laissé un commentaire sur Booking, nous avons été accusés de mentir, ce qui a été une expérience particulièrement désagréable. Il est regrettable qu’au lieu de prendre en compte les retours des clients pour améliorer l’établissement, la direction choisisse de les discréditer. De plus il m’est impossible de poster un avis sur trop advisor puisqu’il ne fait qu’être supprimé En résumé, bien que l’emplacement et le personnel aient été des aspects positifs de notre séjour, la mauvaise qualité de la chambre et de la piscine ne justifie pas le prix payé. Nous ne recommandons malheureusement pas cet hôtel en l’état actuel.

We felt like home. A little place with only six rooms. Clean, stylish, big room (downstairs by the pool) with a beautiful and flourish garden. Complimentary coffee, tea, water every day and toiletries in the room. Nice lounge area, hammocks by the pool, board games. Perfect place for relax. The laundry was ready the day after. Beach towels, and free access to the neighboring beach-club, not crowded at all, and ok prices there (the prices changed every day, haha, but still ok). Good and tasty breakfast, exceptional service from the staff, good restaurants and a shop nearby.

As the title suggests, we are already feeling nostalgic for Kuwa Zanzibar, we have just returned from this wonderful winter holiday and we can't wait to return! Here hospitality is everything, Angelica and Emanuel are true hosts, and being a small Lodge at the end of the stay you feel like a big family, guests and staff together. We booked directly by email with Angelica and she reserved the new suite on the upper floor for us, very nice, large and quiet, always well furnished in line with the other suites and apartments in which we had stayed previously in these two years, comfortable bed , TV, new linen, bathroom with large shower and hot water which is not a given in Zanzibar! always well cleaned by the girls who made us find flowers and decorations on the bed. Every time we return there is always some new detail and an enrichment of the common areas and the increasingly lush garden, every morning a hearty breakfast awaited us in the bar area and a relaxing atmosphere in front of the swimming pool with pancakes, pancakes, eggs, cooked at Esta, fresh juices, delicious fruit, milk, tea and coffee, even hazelnut cream was never missing. Kiwengwa beach is a stone's throw from the property, with good restaurants nearby, the area is quiet and at the same time close to various services, for sunbeds and umbrellas it is possible to go to a private affiliated beach by paying a small supplement, or decide to freely choose where to spend the day. Angelica organized some wonderful experiences for us, we went on a Dhow trip to snorkel and explore the seabed of Kiwengwa, one day we went to an orphanage in Pwani mchangani to bring gifts, basic necessities and school supplies, an experience that made us filled our hearts and on the last evening he organized a romantic dinner on the beach in collaboration with a restaurant on the sea to thank us for coming back, everything was wonderful and spectacular with the illuminated pier, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We recommend Kuwa to everyone, couples and families who want to experience the real Kiwengwa away from the super tourist circuits and capture the true essence of the island. See you soon!

Ohh the Kuwa!! My favorite place!! A special mention goes to Angelica and Emmanuel, the owners of the house, they are special! And beautiful!! She, surrounded by the splendor of pregnancy, affable and always in constant movement, Emmanuel, a passionate musician, with his enchanting smile, have made kuwa a home!! This is how it feels as soon as you step foot inside the entrance. Surrounded by the magic of greenery, among the lush vegetation, there are the welcoming rooms with makuti roofs. Spacious, airy, functional and with a refined design, equipped with every comfort, they are carefully designed to satisfy every sense!! You will meet people like Esta, a jovial and discreet cleaning lady and more, who will meticulously tidy up your room every day, creating splendid decorations for you with sheets embellished with fresh hibiscus flowers. The bar, in front of the swimming pool, with its relaxation area between hammocks and sofas, will welcome you every morning with a breakfast, which will make you start your day in the best possible way. Fruit juices, freshly prepared, tea, coffee, various fruits, omelettes, chapatis, crêpes, Nutella, jams and local pastry products. All this, seasoned with pleasant background music that mixes perfectly with the surrounding atmosphere. The quiet beach, a two-minute walk from Kuwa, will allow you to take long walks or enjoy the enchanting spectacle of the tide and appreciate its various changes at all times! Bottom line, this is not a tourist place. This is, ABSOLUTELY, the best place to relax and breathe in the Zanzibar air!! Thanks again to Emmanuel and Angelica who were able to provide me with any kind of information and took care of every aspect of my stay with precision and efficiency. Staying at Kuwa means becoming part of a big family! And I'm sure that your little girl will be the quintessence of your already splendid and loving project!! I will be back soon. And again and again!! Milena

We stayed at Kuwa from January 21st to 31st. Wonderful place. Silent. Clean rooms and towels every day. Once a week they prepare a typical Zanzibari dinner for a fee of 15 euros each. Really fantastic breakfast, very fresh fruit and special mango! The beach is a 5 minute walk away and is fantastic to reach. Definitely coming back.❤️
