Beautiful property with gorgeous rooms, great food, and attentive staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Wow, wow wow!!!!!! Honestly, if I can give this place 10 out of 10 I would .This hotel was beyond my expectations. The staff went beyond and above the cleanliness of the room was top-notch. The food was to die for I am in Boston craving it currently. For anyone traveling to Zanzibar this is the place you have to go to. Beach is walking distance so it’s super convenient. Communication with manager was amazing even before I arrived fast and efficient. I would love to shout out The following employees that made my stay here in Kena Beach all worth it, Sarah, asteria,Elizabeth, Fadhil and Suniluman. Thank you all and look forward to my next visit. Hope everyone books with Kena Beach.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful 3 night stay. The rooms were beautiful, beds comfortable, and the air con worked well. Turn down service to spruce up the rooms and set up the mosquito netting is a nice touch. The pavilion has impressive architectural presence which is brilliant planning for covering the pool (so its always a cool temperature), covering 2 the dining areas and the 2 bars. There were always enough lounge chairs covered in comfortable canvas with pillows and a few different options for shade. The staff was very friendly (although the bar staff seemed unenthusiastic most of the time). Bobo took us on a cool reef walk, but I’d recommend only fit people and children who are >9 participate. There are way too many spikey sea urchins, even with the sturdy fishing boots Kena supplies, if you stumble and fall on an urchin or rough coral, it would be a bad scene. The food was pretty good. Lots of selections for meat eaters. Only 1 or two options for vegetarians in the buffet. With some Indian influence on the menus, I’d recommend putting full Indian dishes into the rotation. Samosas, tiki masala, paneer dishes and even desserts. The flan and passion fruit mousse were the best dishes. My husband liked the Swahili dishes. I’d also recommend that they place some hammocks around the property and add a ping pong table And fussball in the game room. My kids used the pool table and the dart board, more options would be nice. We enjoyed meeting the Maasai and picking out gifts

Très bel architecture de l’hôtel, chambres très spacieuses, jardin luxuriant. Coins ombragés autour de la piscine. Plage magnifique et très calme. Centre de plongée directement à l’interieur l’hotel ce qui facilite les excursions. Nourriture variée et personnel au petits soins. Top !

Kena Beach Hotel est recommandable en couple, seul ou en famille. Nous étions un couple avec 1 enfant de 6 ans. Le personnel est formidable même attachant. La gérance est à l’ecoute quasi 7/24 et volontaire de répondre à nos désirs et caprices (lol). La cuisine est excellente et je ne parle pas de l’environnement avec accès direct sur une plage absolument magique. Les chambres sont très bien entretenues et spacieuses. Franchement rien que du bon, allez y sans hésiter!!!! (parole de français exigeant).

Kena Beach Hotel has recently been renovated after coming under new ownership earlier in 2018, and it shows. Upon my arrival I was greeted with a welcome drink and cool towel. My room was spacious and felt brand new. There was a bathtub, plus indoor and outdoor shower. The grounds were beautiful and right there on the beach. For breakfast there's a wide assortment to choose from (pastries, cereal, fruit, coffee, tea) and you can order an omelet, french toast, pancakes, or waffles. A special menu for lunch and dinner is created each day, and the food is delicious. One night I didn't like any of the desserts and I requested fruit instead, which was provided with a smile. As they continue to make improvements I hope they create a printed drinks menu for guests. The hotel has a pool, onsite dive center, spa, and small gift shop. There are a few other resorts along the beach if you want to try a meal elsewhere, though I didn't do this. The staff was very helpful and they even come into your room at night to spray for bugs. There are a few beach boys/vendors in the area, though no where near the amount as other beaches on the island. I thankfully was not bothered much. The hotel has a pretty large lounging area if you want to avoid the water front altogether. This is the perfect place if you want peace and quiet, and to get away from everything.

편의 쉬실분 추천 합니다
상대적으로 저렴한 가격에 기대 하지는 않았지만 너무 좋았습니다 편안하게 쉬다고 왔으며 능귀에도 머물렀는데 능귀보다 편의 시설이 좀 부족 할뿐 호텔만 따지면 완벽했습니다

My Wife and kids stayed there for three days. We have changed to here after leaving Paradise beach hotel with total discontent. My Family totally loved Kena Beach Hotel. Thank You, Staff and management of KBH for turning their stay in to a very nice memorable vacation.

Great stay
Great place, amazing food. Only downside are 1) no real snorkelling straight from the beach due o sea urchins (the hotel do provide free sea shoes out) and 2) high priced bottles water! View from hotel is great and staff are great too
