    air conditioning
    room amenities

    unique villa designs, tropical forest surroundings, spectacular ocean views

    The air conditioning fails to cool effectively and creates an odd condensation issue!!! Consider adding full-length mirrors and proper dressing tables to enhance room functionality!!! Accessibility at night feels a bit risky without proper lighting or escort services!!!

    ocean view

    dining experience
    cooling issue
    bee infestation

    The Ocean View Pool Pavilion offered stunning views overlooking the sea, complete with two plunge pools for relaxation. The property features beautifully manicured grounds, with unique dining locations varying each night, providing a romantic atmosphere under candlelight and lanterns.

    While the accommodation boasted impressive privacy, the air-conditioning in the bedroom struggled to cool the space effectively. Infestation of bees during breakfast moments could be bothersome, although choosing to dine in the villa mitigated this issue. The absence of sun loungers beside the plunge pools might leave some guests wanting more comfort during sunbathing sessions.

    private plunge pool
    minor interruptions
    wildlife nuisances

    The location was absolutely stunning, and the services provided were exceptional. The ocean view villa was spacious and had a private plunge pool, which made our stay even more special. We thoroughly enjoyed dining at various spots throughout the resort, especially the sunset BBQ dinner with fresh seafood. The staff truly went above and beyond, especially our private ambassador who ensured we had everything we needed during our stay.

    private plunge pool
    breathtaking sunset views
    romantic atmosphere
    slow dining service

    The whitewashed villas are stunning, featuring a private plunge pool and a terrace with breathtaking sunset views. My husband and I loved dining by the pool, sampling different local dishes while watching the stars appear above us. Truly a romantic atmosphere!

    In my wife’s opinion, the dining service was too slow, especially for lunch. We would have preferred quicker meals during the day.

    spectacular ocean views
    magical beach dinner
    slow dining service

    Our recent stay was absolutely magical, especially the surprise beach dinner with fresh lobster and king prawns that were cooked to perfection. The villas felt like our own little paradise with spectacular ocean views! However, the dining service could be faster. it took too long for meals to arrive at times. Would I go back? Absolutely!

    Kilindi Zanzibar (Adults Only) features beautiful, unique villa designs offering substantial space and breathtaking ocean views. The accessibility of the pathways makes it easy for seniors to navigate and enjoy all the areas of this lovely retreat.

    More seating by the plunge pools would be beneficial.

    Unmatched sunsets and exquisite dining featuring fresh farm-to-table products made for an unforgettable vacation. The staff provided outstanding service, especially with the customized dining options. However, more seating around the plunge pools would enhance the experience, and some areas felt slightly crowded at peak times.
