Can't say I enjoyed may stay here, although the location is great. I experienced the same problem as a previous reviewer with currency conversion when trying to pay the bill using cash. They insisted the US dollars were converted to Canadian dollars (the owners now reside in Canada but are locals) before that got converted to Tanzania shillings. Absolute robbery,... more

We stayed at the Amaan Kendwa in November 2007. The Resort is very well placed and it looks just the way 'postcards' show island resorts. The Resort has different types of rooms (beach bungalows, villas...). We stayed in a villa caled Kartoon Villa. The view was fantastic. The rooms have been upgraded. Our room had a mozzie net, airconditioner, cupboard... more

The suitcase turned up the next morning - then we could relax. Beach is absolutely great, and Habib is the only guy to speak to if you want to organise... more

Overall, our stay at Kendwa Amaan Beach Resort was very disappointing. Firstly, upon arrival the management infuriated us; we were told our rooms would be $60USD per night however in order to pay in the currency of the country - Tanzanian Shilling, the hotel use their own exchange rate which is very favourable for them, and not so favourable for... more

first of all: we are experienced travellers, and we are usually on a budget, so we don't expect luxury nor 5 stars service but... Kendwa Beach Resort is not even 1 star! we paid 90 usd for a garden view room: it looked very old and poorly maintained and not decorated, with a really old bathroom.. but it was close... more
