Nice and comfortable place, close to the beach (10 minutes walk) and with shuttle bus service. Good and generous food buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fruit and snacks during the morning and afternoon. Very kind staff, clean rooms and pool on-site the hotel. Weak wifi spead and coverage and maybe also a little to crowdy, in a way less is more, but we did pass a very nice time.

Friendly staff made our stay OK. The location is set away from the beach, a 10 min walk or a short bumpy ride with the free shuttle that is provided between the resort and the beach until 22.30. We tried a buffet dinner which offered a good variety of food and priced at 10 $ is a good offer. We also had lunch on the beach where the resort also operates a restaurant. Had some pasta which was alright. Breakfast was a disappointment one particular morning with most fruit finished and lousy instant coffee. Not to mention the watered down cordial that was offered as fruit juice. In a country where fresh fruits are available in abundance and where great coffee is grown, theres no excuse for not offering fresh fruit juice and coffee to their guests.

Great hotel for its price range! We lived in the building farthest from the beach. Beautiful landscaped and green area. Singing birds in the morning and neighbors roosters. Right behind the hotel is a small village of locals. Very nice service staff, always smiling and ready to help. Delicious breakfasts (better than in a restaurant on the beach). The room had a refrigerator, TV and air conditioning, everything worked properly. There is no kettle, but hot water could be taken from the counter near the bar. Yes, there are nuances! The type of not ideal internet (if you need a stable and uninterrupted buy a local sim card) mosquitoes and ants in the rooms, on our last night even a rat climbed into the room through the open balcony door. Well, this is Africa!

For the second time we rest in this hotel.Love it. The best beach on the island of Zanzibar. Tides and ebbs are not felt at all. Which is extremely important for the island - because the water can recede for kilometers. Here 20 meters - no more. And you can swim at any time.A huge special thank you to the manager for the bonus gift for us. These are three of us from Ukraine) to communicate also with his grandmother - interesting conversations)Swahili has been studied a lot. Everyone around is surprisingly friendly.At once it would be desirable to tell that it is not Egypt and not Turkey is absolutely other kind of rest. And it is worth considering. This is real Africa. Everything can be felt and seen. The building is located in the village. And you can see all the features of life in the village. We always went to the dala-dala. We recommend that you take with you small souvenir toys for children from the village.VERY TASTY KITCHEN. Fresh drinks. Fish, squid - everything is very tasty.There were at first a few people in the hotel for breakfast and dinner were generally on the a la carte - very cool)For the hotel I want to write and write)And to return more than once to this wonderful place.The staff is very, very friendly) Jamil - yum-yum. Very tasty - its just a very positive woman))The beach is unsurpassed)P.S. There is a library where there were no books in Ukrainian before. And now there is)

Overall a pretty good hotel. But there are some pretty big drawbacks. Firstly, the rooms have very old furniture, very squeaky. Secondly, there is no protection from ants, if you drop something sweet on the floor, then I will collect ants.Location. The hotel is located in a Massai village where locals live without electricity and without civilization. On the one hand, this is a special aesthetics, but on the other hand, it is very inconvenient. Especially in the evening, do not take a walk, it is very dark everywhere, and who knows what the locals want from a passing touristOtherwise, everything is fine. The staff are very funny and friendly! The food is great. There is all inclusive. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, drinks: all included in the price!

The hotel is ok, BUT there are no teapots in the rooms! Also, some rooms do not have a TV or refrigerator. The refrigerator works at + 8 ° degrees. TV does not show our Russian channels. WI-FI from the 2nd floor is terrible. Frequent interruptions in light. The hotel has a small shop where you can buy slippers, bathing jackets, coral slippers, cigarettes, etc. Shows are held every 2-3 days. The hotel is divided into 3 buildings. We lived in the 2nd building (in the middle). A Dala-Dala car goes to the beach from buildings 1 and 2 (completely free). In the Varadero area (15 minutes walk to it) there is an exchange office, as well as cafes and shops, fruit shops.

Good hotel! BUT, it consists of four buildings. Our-Palumbo Kendwa is the farthest from the ocean. We went to the beach at dala - dala, sometimes we had to wait for 10-20 minutes. In general, the rest is wonderful !!!

For 2 weeks, I have never seen cheese, yogurt, dried fruits, normal juices for breakfast. At lunch and dinner, there were never any sea creatures. Always the same fish, fried or stewed. The towels are gray. The sheets are full of holes. There is dirt and dust on the canopies over the bed. There are cockroaches in the rooms.In the morning cows moo and roosters crow.Beggars are burning bonfires behind the fence and it all stinks terribly.The worst hotel has never been seen.

Review №38

I will write about the Palumbo Wave hotel. Immediately, I note that the review will be mixed, and it rather concerns the fact that for the money I gave, I received the wrong thing, to put it mildly ...The hotel positions itself as 4 stars. But a hotel with 4 stars cannot be with terrible Wi-Fi (to the remarks that are you cococo, you came to sit on the internet - no. But at work, you have to be in touch). Ie he catches on the 1st floor, and on the second - thats all. But on the last day before leaving, they put the router on the wall of the unfinished hotel, it became objectively better. There is no TV in the room. In fact, there is nowhere to dry things. We dried in the room, bought a clothesline from the local. You cant take alcohol into the room, but everyone is hammered into it. I don’t know what this ban is connected with, maybe there were precedents.At the bar, you need to be very careful, they can sell you free cola or water.The food is delicious, there are no questions about this, well done. At the reception, dollars can be exchanged for shillings. Take your time at the airport to exchange a lot of dollars for shillings !!! We didnt really need shillings.The pool is nice.The sea is cool; safari - super, I advise; excursion to Stoun-town is normal, but not enough, in my opinion, there is where to climb, very colorful. The disappearing island - well, too little, there is a prison on the island with turtles, there is also something to see. But here you can understand the guides - tight timing. In general, excursions are class.So, Tanzania, Zanzibar in general I liked it. But the price of the malech certainly does not match;)

Maybe the hotel itself is average, but the location is terrible !!! It is necessary to go on a typewriter without a roof dala-dala to the beach the rooms are just awful, I have never seen worse in my life. If you go only to the rooms with a sea view. There is very little food, but good quality. I strongly do not recommend traveling with children, especially if the children are small. The country itself is good, but if you take this hotel, you spoil your impression of both the ocean and the beach. The main disadvantage of this hotel is the location !!!

Wonderful, beautiful and atmospheric hotel! Very cozy place and beautiful interior. The color of the hotel is added by the masses! They fit very well in its interior !!! The food is top notch! The owner of the hotel is Italian - monitors everything at the hotel, and therefore a high level is felt. The food for the 7 days of our stay has never been repeated, the dinners are simply magnificent! Seafood, fruits, meat, pasta ... Mmm !! The rooms are always clean and not noisy. Comfortable beds. There was always hot water, there were no problems with plumbing. Breakfasts, lunches and snacks were on the beach - it is very convenient! To the beach carries a truck Dala Dala through a local village .. 4 minutes and you are on the beach. We will definitely be back!

A variety of dishes are very tasty. Lots of seafood, fruits. Great beach. In the mornings at low tide you can see many colorful stars. The hotel is cozy. They lived on the 1st floor, during the rest of the living creatures in the room was not observed. The hotel consists of 2 buildings. 1 on the beach, and the main thing is to drive a bit on the Dala Dala. This is not annoying at all. Every evening live music. I advise everyone to relax this hotel.

Review №42

If you make a discount on the location, you can close your eyes to many things. I will say right away that this is not 4 *, but 3 *, and that is a stretch. Everything is old, does not work well. We lived in a room on the 3rd floor, which is considered a junior suite, the first thing that immediately noticed was the smell of dampness and mustiness, and this is the 3rd! Floor (I imagine that on the 1st), and in general everything is old, bed linen , towels, everything is washed (((hair dryer does not work well, water is intermittent, air conditioner, it works normally ONLY at night.Nutrition is normal. Animation is even there)There is a bus to the beach. The beach is great!

I am very pleased. The food is enough to be full, the staff are friendly. Cleaning every day. The sea is gorgeous. The beach 🏖 is a little in the trash, but you have to start with yourself, not litter and pick up trash after another in order to preserve this beauty. There are enough sun beds, mattresses are provided. Towels for a deposit. There was no theft. Great vacation experience!

We bought a tour to another 3 star hotel on Nungwi beach, something went wrong and we were settled in Palumbo, and we did not regret it. 4 stars, breakfast and dinner buffet, eat from the belly. They take to the beach to Dala Dala (local taxi) for free, but we walked, not very far, 3 minutes. Behind the hotel there is a road to local shops where you can buy all sorts of goodies, gifts for relatives, beer, alcohol cheaper than on the beach.

Review №45

Resort with striking architecture. Large room, simply furnished, clean, comfortable overall. More than satisfactory food. Polite and friendly staff.The reception, after 9 hours of flight and an hour and a half of shuttle from the airport, was focused on the payment of the tourist tax, neglecting the fact that you needed and the right to eat something (about 14 hours) and to cool off. The distance between the hotel and the beach is greater than that declared and although the shuttle is always available, the journey puts a strain on your back for the constant jolts. If you intend to pay for excursions and extras by credit card, forget it, unless you intend to pay the commissions that the hotel should pay.

Were in this chain of hotels, the most important thing we want to draw your attention to is that this Palumbo Kendwa hotel is located in the village, you cannot reach the beach, the minibus does not run often. Its scary to go outside the hotel at night.

Review №47

I want to trust him for the next few years! The village is divided into 3 well detached buildings. Kendwa is the furthest from the sea. They have a shuttle (or rather 2 cars but use only one) and therefore it takes at least half an hour to get to the sea including waiting for the vehicle. The road traveled is typically African style .. but ... dear direction at least the holes you could cover them! If instead you decide to get to the sea on foot there is a kind of shortcut that passes between the huts of the local people. No problem for them! But as soon as you exit the gate of the village .. You are in a landfill ... And you wonder if you have gone the wrong way ... Anyway, eating is good. Welcoming staff. The beautiful beach. The rooms are simple and well cleaned

Review №48

Good evening, just got back on Tuesday evening from a great vacation with my family at this resort in Kendwa. I highly recommend it, clean zanzibarine style rooms, breakfast with croissants, biscuits, bread etc. eggs, milk, coffee, tea, herbal teas, yoghurt, fruit, lunch at the beach restaurant, dinner at the resort and the food is good. The staff is super nice, there is Adriana who is Italian and local staff Jamilah who when its time for lunch and dinner calls people saying yum yum, Giacomino and Abdallah Makame are special people they speak Italian well and for any problem you can turn to them who will help you with their kindness. The resort is about 500 meters from the beach. the road is not very nice to go, but there is a very comfortable shuttle service with a Palumbo Dalla pickup truck that takes you to the beach and you pass through their village where there are many children who say jambo (hello) and always with a smile on his mouth and at any time he brings you back to the village. In the evening there is almost always some entertainment with acrobats, Masai and more. When from the airport in Stone town you arrive at the road where Palumbo Resort indicates, you will wonder where they take us because the road is all bumpy, there are hens, but then when you arrive at the Resort you will be heartened. The beach has white sand that looks like flour and is 300 meters wide. that under the sun you only tan from the beach umbrella. The sea is not subject to high tides, swimming is always done, but bring water shoes because when there is low tide to enter the water there are all the broken shells and they hurt the feet, and in the water there are the curls that if you pound them are great pains. The excursions I made with the Palumbo, you have to deal a lot with the prices I made Nacupenda with its giant turtles, and you eat lobster, octopus, shrimps, fried potatoes, fruit on a white sand line, the other is Mnemba very nice you snorkel in a sea with breathtaking colors and colorful fish, then if you go there in the morning you can be lucky enough to see dolphins and starfish the trip can be half or full day. You will have understood that I promote the resort with flying colors, but you have to think that you are going to Africa and the style is Zanzibari.

We stayed in this lovely hotel in January 2020. The rooms are spacious, clean and stylishly decorated. it is about 1.5 km from the beach which can be reached on foot through the village or with the Dala dala which offers the service every half hour or on request. breakfast, lunch and dinner with a lot of choice of dishes. It is possible to book with them different types of tours to discover the beauties of Zanzibar well organized and very efficient. The staff are efficient and friendly. Thanks to all the staff.

I will never stop saying that it was the right choice for our honeymoon !! Truly suggestive structure typical of the place. The truly loving staff. I felt at home every day I spent there. Great food, a mix of local and Italian cuisine. Our room was located towards the new apartments. Big bathroom and the same room. The nice thing is that the bed was so big that you could sleep in 6 !! se ... if I could give 100 stars I would give it absolutely above all for the staff working there. Thanks Palumbo !! JanbooOo

Palumbo top !!! I stayed with my family in late September and we were very satisfied with the structure and the services offered starting from the cleanliness that was impeccable and the food that was excellent, well cooked varied and abundant, but above all we were impressed by the people we knew . First of all a special thanks to Omary and Adriana two wonderful people of great availability, a strong point of reference and a real added value, with my son they were very sweet and attentive. We also thank Mario, Carangire, light, Said, Nastra and all the Masai all exceptional! Breakfast and dinner in the structure while lunch on the beach with your feet on the sand and then at about 17 aperitif with sea view and indelible and fantastic sunsets. The hotel is perfectly in style with the environment that surrounds it well furnished and cared for in an excellent position, an immense white beach with a tidal phenomenon that is clearly visible but still allows swimming with shells corals and starfish everywhere. For those who are undecided, we strongly recommend spending a holiday in this resort suitable for both young and families. Zanzibar in the heart .... Hakuna matata

Extraordinary vacation, chic hotel.Every day is a wonderful, non-recurring kitchen. Lunches and snacks on the beach.Colorful performances and shows every night.Masai and national decor and exterior design all remind you that you are in the heart of Africa.Separately, it is worth noting the best beach in all of Zanzibar, which does not feel the ebb and flow at all.Some - 5-6 meters - no more.And given the surprisingly wide beach strip, it is unnoticed at all.

Beautiful hotel in Kendwa, Zanzibar. Not located directly on the sea but with a walk of a few minutes through a small village, or with the hotels free shuttle. Managed by the children of Mr. Palumbo is an optimal solution with a good value for money. They organize theme nights with enough varied buffet dinners. Beach restaurant with very nice private beach.

Beware of this hotel. Rip off when paying with a card!The following happened:Already in the normal restaurant is calculated in €, which is totally unusual for the country. Dollars or shillings are common currencies.When paying with a card, however, the system automatically switched from euro to dollar with a very negative exchange rate. This exchange rate was 9.3% above the current Mastercard exchange rate. When checking in we asked, but nothing was mentioned or mentioned about the procedure and the additional 15.6%. The management was not to be found at the payment.In itself, the Palumbo Kendwa is a nice hotel with a nice pool and also a nice beach with beach chairs.However, the breakfast was absolutely mediocre and the fruit salad and juices were already fermenting because of the sun.The service was good except for a few employees. However, there were one or the other employee who made fun of them behind the back of the guests.The key to the gym was not found during the day, but as soon as the managers went to work out in the evening, it suddenly appeared.Conclusion there are definitely cheaper and better hotels in Kendwa!

Were in November 2018A hotel with a small area. There is no infrastructure nearby,Not so far to the sea, through the village, but worse, that through construction sitesoff-road. This is the biggest disadvantage. Carries a car, buton schedule and clogged full.The beach is good, without noticeable ebb tides at 3 - 5 m, while you can toucha hedgehog and shoes wont help.Food. The breakfasts are poor. Lunches and dinners are great, there are snacks(between lunch and dinner) these are fruits, nuts, chips. Lunch on the beach.Soup with no choice, only mashed potatoes, but delicious. Fish, meat, chicken, vegetablesconstantly. There are many fruits. Freshly squeezed juice, but diluted with water.The rooms are large and the furnishings are more than modest.In general, it pulls on its 4 *.Worst of all is the Pegasus charter. Night flight, but there is no time to sleep,now they carry water, then food, then tea, then they all collect it. The food sucks.Better to get there on your own and there were many of them. But without delay.

Arrived in Zanzibar almost by chance, to satisfy a wish of my husband. Game leaving in this place a little piece of heart. One of the most exciting journeys in terms of places, culture and above all special people.The village is not directly on the sea but I would say that this is an added value, as it allows you to pass through the village of fishermen and live their daily life. Zanzibar is not only beautiful sea but much much more ...Friendly and helpful staff, always smiling. Good food and clean rooms. Evening entertainment with local shows. Holiday to repeat!

I stayed at the Palumbo for a week. I came back from a day. Staff very kind and always with a smile. The beach is not near but has an efficient shuttle service. The only flaw is that the beach being long is far from the sea but this is the way of the tides. A special thanks goes to Adriana who solved a transference problem at night. , although not his job. No one was present at the reception we risked losing the plane but she managed to solve everything.

Review №81

We were among the first flights on 16.11. host Anex. A lot of groups arrive, there are not enough places. A hotel that is not on the beach with a well-groomed area and there they serve really undiluted natural juices for breakfast. But lunch and dinner are better at a hotel on the beach. There is no infrastructure there, though. Good. That was all inclusive. The island is not adapted to the large influx of tourists. After the private beach of the hotel, which, by the way, is guarded by the armed military, there is a municipal beach. Hes a little dirty. The ebb and flow is almost imperceptible, but after the tide starts after 3 pm, the ocean is chilly. On the beach, juices are diluted and tasteless. Delicious ginger drink. Lunch starts at 17 on the beach. Fruit is given: pineapple, watermelon. Occasionally papaya for dinner. Delicious. The staff at the beach hotel are more welcoming and friendly. There is no shower gel in the cells as stated, only shampoo and hair dryer. Water is supplied at check-in 1.5 liters and thats it. There is no animation. Girls from Samara for $ 150 Ordered a birthday. So we watched the dance show. They have fun as they can. Young people began to bring speakers and music began to sound. Apart from the ocean, there is no entertainment. This is Thailand in 2000 at its worst. Tours at Omar or Ali on the beach are cheaper than tour operators. They work on honesty in Russian. Expensive massage $ 25 In an hour. You can tell that their liquor is 35,000 shillings, their wine is 15,000 for an amateur. No exchange. Anyone everywhere is accepted in dollars. We exchanged $ 100. At the airport at the rate of 2310 and did not know. How to get rid of these shillings. If you do not pay attention to the complete lack of roads, service. Then you can go once.

Palumbo Kendwa is a boutique hotel, with 30 rooms total. Great for those who dont want to go to the villages with so many people. My husband and I chose it as the second part of the honeymoon. Staff always kind and ready to help you in everything. Although there is no entertainment in the evening they organize shows with dancers, acrobats, Masai and percussion. Good food to be abroad. Pasta does it very well. The beach is the most beautiful and fortunately a part is private of the village.

Simple Boutique Hotel, decorated with Swahili items. Nice pool, but unused by most of the guests, with such a beautiful sea you hardly go to the pool.Mainly Italian and Russian guests.Good, well-finished and tasty food (remember to be in Africa in a mid-range hotel)Huge and clean rooms, linen change every two days, air conditioning and ceiling fan, specifically I had a sea view room, chosen not knowing that almost all the rooms on the upper floors have a sea view.The distance from the beach is really minimal, there is a shuttle (dala dala) that covers the route but it is certainly more comfortable to walk down through the fishing village (the route is really short but with the minibus that must pass through a course full of holes and it becomes really uncomfortable)Excursions offered by the hotel are all beautiful, I must say that for almost all of them you have to go south (Stone Town) to embark and that you always spend almost 90 minutes (sometimes even more) of transfer to and fro and this makes it all a bit tiring.I recommend the excursion to Nakupenda, Stone Town and Jozani Forest. I want to underline the fact that Kendwa is an excursion destination for other villages and deserves to be experienced to the fullest.The beach boys are a little pushy but just kindly tell them not to be interested in shopping and a bit like it happens on our Italian beaches it ends there.

The degree of assessment of everything that concerns Africa is purely objective.

It wasnt my choice. Stay away from any Palumbo. The fitness center is not there and the swimming pool is impassable, work going on all day

Excellent hotel, friendly and helpful staff. The location is quiet 10 minutes walk from the beach, so you will also enjoy the spectacular village of Kendwa.

Very distinctive complex Unfortunately I ate badly uncomfortable springs that pierce your back running water problem to wash do not even give you a bottle of water but pour you by the glass so you are always waiting to quench your thirst but more than anything else is the food that leaves you very dizzy the fantastic staff are very nice guys very helpful especially Betule the great fortune of this hotel is that the beach on kendwa one of the most beautiful beaches of all Ive ever seen

I stayed in this hotel at the end of November with my husband it was an amazing holiday .. crystal clear sea .. white sand and what about sunsets .... for the excursions we relied on Ronaldo known on the beach (fun and competent character) I recommend it especially to those who want to live a unique experience in contact with a still untouched nature .... vote 10 with praise the most beautiful vacation I have ever had ....

The service is rated 0, the food is disgusting, the beach and the ocean slightly smoothes the impression, it has practically no ebb.
