Pobyt w hotelu Kiwengwa Beach był absolutnie cudowny! To miejsce jak z bajki hotel położony tuż przy białej, piaszczystej plaży, otoczony bujnym, tropikalnym ogrodem, co tworzy niesamowity, egzotyczny klimat. Plaża jest idealna na długie spacery, a afrykański styl hotelu dodaje mu niezwykłego uroku. Obsługa na najwyższym poziomie wszyscy uśmiechnięci, życzliwi i zawsze gotowi, by pomóc i sprawić, że każdy gość czuje się wyjątkowo. Jedzenie przepyszne, bardzo różnorodne, a manager dbał o to, żeby wszystko wyglądało idealnie i niczego nie brakowało. Można spróbować specjałów w restauracji serwującej owoce morza oraz kuchnię afrykańską, co stanowi fantastyczne dopełnienie kulinarnych doznań. Każdy wieczór w hotelu to nowe atrakcje od niesamowitych występów Masajów, przez energetyczne tańce, aż po koncerty Coconut Band i wiele innych wydarzeń, które tworzyły wyjątkową atmosferę. Lokalizacja również zachwyca wokół hotelu znajdują się lokalne sklepiki, markety, bary i restauracje, dzięki czemu można poczuć prawdziwy klimat Zanzibaru.
