We've just come back from an amazing time at Kena Beach! We were so impressed with the service , management and staff. They couldn't do enough for us. Everything is spotless and the rooms are awesome. The food is very good and well presented. The beach, beautiful well kept swimming pool, the bar , eating area are all on close hand. We will definitely be returning in the future. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

We had an amazing time at the Kena. Rooms are spacious, very well appointed and very clean. The outdoor shower was fab. All staff attentive and lovely to talk to. Food was great! Reef walk a treat! Scuba fish diving school on site and also great! Thank you from rooms 129 and 131, we will be recommending you to all our friends 😃

Thank you to all the staff at Kena for a wonderful holiday! The resort design is unique and the gardens are peaceful. It is located right on the beautiful white sand beach of Matemwe. Most importantly though, our holiday was made by all the amazing staff members. There are too many names to mention! They are all lovely and brilliant. They will always welcome you warmly with a smile. Highly recommend talking directly to the chefs if you have any specific dietary requirements. They can make anything by special request and the food was delicious.
I have only one small critique - timekeeping was initially a slight issue and they lacked promptness. So allow more time and preparation when checking out etc…having said that, there was a massive improvement on the second occasion. (And this is the Zanzibar way! Pole pole…Hakuna matata)

This is an exceptional hotel with honestly nothing to fault. The customer service is one of the best we have seen in the world. Babu and the reef walk was unforgettable. All of the staff particularly the pool and catering staff were brilliant. This is a very special place.

We had a great time at Kena Beach resort, we stayed there for 2 nights in december. It is located directly at the beautiful beach, there you have a possibility for swimming only at high tide, mostly in the afternoon. Special thanks to Babu for interesting reef walking tour during low tide. Hotel has a big, covered and clean pool, spacious & cosy rooms. Food and drinks were delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive.
We especially liked the large and beautiful garden, you felt like walking in paradise!
We would highly recommend to stay at Kena :)
The only critical point is the in-house travel agent, who has scammed us (!!!): we booked with him transfer including a short stop at spice farm (being nice to him to pay him instead of paying directly at the farm), we agreed with him that 30$ would cover entrance fee and fee/tip for the guide. At the farm they paid only the entrance fee of 4$ pp and asked to tip the guide separately. We were upset about the scam, directly called the agent, he said he "forgot" to tell driver to pay the guide...in the end the guide got additional 4$ from the travel agent....it means the agent kept 18$ for himself (he even didn't have to make any appointment at the farm since it was a walk-in tour)...it's not acceptable and embarrassing for the hotel to work with such an agency/person...it ruined all experience. Don't book any trips within the hotel!!!!
