I had an amazing stay at this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway in Zanzibar! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their kindness and professionalism. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and always spotless, with breathtaking ocean views. The food was outstanding fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and delicious local dishes made every meal a delight. The beach was well-maintained, and although seaweed appears naturally, a dedicated team cleaned it daily, ensuring a perfect seaside experience. The pool area was stunning, offering a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of sun loungers and excellent service. I also enjoyed the spa, where soothing massages in a peaceful setting provided the ultimate relaxation. The hotel organizes fantastic excursions, including a visit to the famous Prison Island and unforgettable sunset dhow cruises. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be back!

Very beautiful hotel located right by the beach in a quiet area of Zanzibar. Perfect place to start your Zanzibar vacation if you need to destress and just look at the ocean. The highlight was however the staff. So sweet and always ready to help you. Edina, you are a sweetheart.

The location is great, has a nice beach holidays vibe with only 8 bungalow, so a cozy place and not crowded. Mainly polish and Italians when we were there. We slept 8 nights in a twin bed room, no sea view but the beach was right outside the door. Mattress were super comfortable and air conditioning was working well, there was no sea breeze in our specific room. Pressure in the shower was also there which is a plus. We were very much impressed with the good food from the restaurant, from breakfast to dinner. The staff was prepared and nice, really a good team work. We had few power outages as it is normal on the island but the generator is working well and electricity is back in few minutes. A plus, you have also free water all day which is great with such temperatures. Thank you Magda and the Poa Poa Team for the nice stay!

The best choice I could have made... Clean and spacious rooms with a stunning seaview from the big terrace (I had de Deluxe room), surrounded by plenty of plants and trees. The beds are very comfy and the curtains refrain the sun from waking you up in the early morning, what is not really common in Zanzibar. The staff is simply awesome and caring for all your needs, so that you can just relax and enjoy your stay. I liked it so much that I will come back in a few days, so I don't need to say that I highly recommend this beautiful place... A special thanks to Daniele, the hotel manager, and Mohamed, the restaurant manager who cooked for my special needs and always had a few kind words to share with me... See you soon 😊

The staff at Alpha Boutique were very pleasant and eager to ensure we were comfortable.They welcomed us in when we requested for early check in given our flight time and also took the initiative to send an airport shuttle upon our arrival at 3am. The rooms were very clean, Tacha and Rasheed were excellent!

Our stay was amazing and peaceful.

Our stay was amazing and peaceful. The staff was funny and very friendly. Big thanks to Jana and her staff, Lameck in the restaurant section and Janet in housekeeping was so sweet and they looked after us at our 8-night stay. I would recommend this resort to anyone.

Lovely beach on the Indian Ocean.

Lovely beach on the Indian Ocean. Lots of restaurants, bars and snack shops from higher end and usual fare to local pubs and dining. Beautiful views, jet ski, kite surfing and dhow or outrigger hires for snorkeling. beautiful clear water and you can walk the sandbars at low tide or swim there at high tide. An hour or so from Stone Town hustle and bustle, but still close enough for a day excursion.

The beach is arguably one of the best on the island—long, swimmable, and vibrant. While it has more energy and amenities than a secluded spot, we still found it peaceful and relaxing, especially during the mornings. It's the perfect base for anyone who wants both stunning beach life and easy access to restaurants and activities.

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. 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!

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.

It was a great and clean place, with amazing spa facilities and very friendly staff. The pool bar has great mock- and cocktails. The scale of the hotel is not too big, giving it a cosy atmosphere. We also enjoyed the variety of menu options and the quality of the restaurant, especially the tuna tartare and moyo pizza. From all the places we’ve been on Zanzibar, this is definitely our favourite.
