the Hotel is really tiny! (5 rooms total) Which is nice, personnel knows you, knows what you like and you know them as well. Short way to breakfast, to the pool or reception. Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and supporting. If you need something, there is always somebody to help.

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true.
As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!
As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!
Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way.
To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.
Featuring a terrace with Indian Ocean views, set by sandy Kiwengwa Beach, the 30-acre site includes a spa, pool and sports facilities.

Seashore is a lovely quiet boutique hotel made up of rustic beach bungalows a stone’s throw from the beach and a short walk to the main town. The main strip is plagued by sellers so it was so lovely to come back to the peace and tranquillity of Seashore.

Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family.
Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

The restaurant and other staff were extremely courteous and helpful in all circumstances.
The Food and Beverager Manager Zablon is a kind and focused man, results oriented.
We’ve spent our last day in Zanzibar at kiwengwa beach at Lapili residence and I can say that everything was so pleasant, from the the lovely owners to the kindness of the whole staff, helpful and always smiling. Everything was simply amazing! The apartment in African style with comfortable beds, the beautiful pool and relaxing area, the beach and the food at the restaurant that was very good and tasty.
Would definitely stay here again and already recommended this gem to my friends. It’s a great value for money.
We are an American couple who have been living in Tanzania for years. We booked confidently in this corner of paradise which is Kiwengwa, for us the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. The villa was really good and it’s decor is lovely. The bed is comfortable (superb having the duvet) and the bathroom/shower is quite spacious. Although there were other villas nearby, ours was slightly secluded and private. The hosts really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
it was small & beautiful, decorated in Zanzibari style, clean & great air conditioning! It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!)
They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!
Great location beutiful view and beautiful hotel,the african details in every corner and the beautiful building of the hotel wow!.The beach Kiwengwa beach is beautiful 5 minits from the hotel.The staf especially my litle two Zanzibar sisters was amazing and all of the staff so welcoming.I will be back! I REALLY recomend this place!The food was great too.My litle Edina i miss you thank you for everything and stay safe.

This was a cute little place. It was a very last minute booking and also our first time to Zanzibar so we didn't know what to expect. Everywhere in Zanzibar gets a 8+, 9+ rating which I found strange as so many of them are not that rating in my opinion. I feel like someone is doing the ratings for hotels there! The room was very big which was nice. It looked right onto the ocean. Deeda, the receptionist was lovely and very helpful.
We liked that the hotel was very clean and safe, by far the best location we visited in Zanzibar. Our room was very cozy, comfortable bed and nice private patio! The staff is great and very helpful with resort issues and also with organizing transfer! Very good prices for everything and good value. The private beach is well furnished with many swings, perfect to relax and for beautiful photos, especially the swing in the ocean.
Perfect Start for our Trip around the island. small Hotel, authentically runned in Perfect Spot directly by the Beach. staff is very friendly and Helpful but without being pushy.
Special thanks to Arnold for his excellent service. Always having a smile for all of the guests and helping with his straight tips.
Food was delicious - we Recommend trying the local specialities.
If we travel to zanzibar again, we will Come back!
Maybe the best location in Zanzibar. Kiwengwa has many restaurants and long beach with access. Having a rental car, we had the opportunity to explore most of the island and be able to compare.
Best staff (management, cooking, cleaning, safety)
Big house with 3 bedrooms and toilets, sea front, amazing view
We enjoyed our dinners at the villa, all problems with water, internet, A/C and tree fall were immediately solved
One of the best places I ever visited in my life. Italian style hotel in the middle of Zanzibar. I was pretty scared due to low amount of Comments , but place really exceed my expectations. Thank for one of the most beautiful vacation. Food in hotel is Italian and very tasty. Breakfast is amazing. Room is super clean. Right on beach front. People are super cool. Thank you!
Very clean and nice European-style hotel, few meters from Kiwengwa Beach, which is by no means one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. The rooms were very comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner included. The food was ok, a bit repetitive - all the same every day- but good. Very nice pool area and private spot on the beach. Stay there some days so you get known with people.
- Beautiful view of the ocean with the very long Kiwengwa beach right outside the hotel.
- Amazing infinity pool with comfortable sun beds where we without any problems could spend a whole day. Also, a very nice bar in the pool.
- Very nice and clean room with all necessities.
- Loved the breakfast. The best out of three different hotels we visited on Zanzibar.
best hotel/resort I’ve stayed in, staff soo friendly and professional. they think of everything.
It was summed up by our final night on this Zanzibar trip, we were the last people having dinner at the Jetty restaurant, one of the staff members on the golf buggy knew somehow we were the last and drove to meet us, it saved my wife a long walk in her heels.
The hotel is very beautiful and authentic, the staff are very welcoming. I woulk like to thank KHADIJA from the reception for her beautiful smile and service, she made our stay more beautuiful.. the hotel suggests activities for the guests, very relaxing and comfortable.. the rooms are very big and comfortable.. very beautiful view also from the room
Not sure where to start...OUR STAY WAS MORE THAN AMAZING.. THE BEACH IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WE HAVE SEEN IN ZANZIBAR... WHITE SANDS AMAZING FOOD.. OUTSTANDING BREAKFAST AND WARM HEARTED ATTENTIVE STAFF.. I WILL DEFINETLY BE COMING BACK. THANK U IMARA FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. FOOODIS A MUST.
Great location, approx 1hr from Zanzibar airport, $50 oneway transport, great communication thru "Whats App", driver was kind and respectful. Resort is really nice with gorgeous grounds, clean pools.
The resort mostly has a European clientele.
Workers are kind and helpful
It was such a wonderful stay of my life, the customer care was top notch. Victor the front office manager makes a lot of difference at Kiwengwa beach.Always available to assist.
Because of such people we cannot think twice but confirm another visit soon.
Residence - big wooow..... :)

Nice room with everything I need.
Food was good.
