We really enjoyed our stay at Kena Beach hotel, and would absolutely stay there again if we are lucky enough to return to Zanzibar in the future. Every single person there genuinely cares about the guest's experience. They all go out of their way to help you in any way they can. For example, on our last day, my family did the reef walk at low tide, and we all got a bit wetter than we though we would. I went to the front desk to ask whether they had a plastic bag for our wet things so that I could finish packing They instead offered to wash and dry our clothes before our driver was to pick us up (within 2 hours). That is going above and beyond! This is only one small anectode, but I feel like our whole week was that way. People just went out of their way to help the guests. Oh, and their mocktails are unbelievably good, especially the bush baby! My new favorite drink!!!!!

Me and my husband stayed at The Mora for 5 nights as a second part of our trip in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Started off to a rocky start, we acknowledged we arrived to the hotel early as our flight from mainland Tanzania into Zanzibar was at 6am, and we was happy to relax and chill out in the lobby until check-in time. Our check-in time was 2pm but apparently the guests that were staying in our suite 'went missing' according to staff, so we actually did not get checked-in to our room until around 2:45pm. By this time, we were exhausted and quite irritable. The reception staff were very attentive to make sure we were ok and to keep us updated. Once we got to the room, it seemed to have been prepared for us in a rush. It was clean, but there was no shampoo in the bathroom and the minibar had no drinks. We had to chase up twice in an hour to get some drinks in. As for the room, we stayed in the Superior Suite Ocean View with jacuzzi. For the most part it was a lovely room, the only downside was the shower. It had orange mould in the corners and the shower floor tiles did not look like they had been cleaned properly. There was also an awful stench coming from the drain within the shower, we had to move one of the room diffusers into there as it was unbearable. For a 5* hotel, this is quite unacceptable. It would be nice if there was more shelf space in the shower too. Housekeeping were very pleasant and always said ”Jambo” in the morning which was lovely. However, I don't think they are doing an adequate job of actually cleaning the rooms. A lot of the days our room wasn't even mopped and you could see the dirt from our shoes on the floor from the day before. Often our room would be serviced but no towels would be left for us which was a little bit annoying, especially after returning from a day by the pool. The pool and beach areas are really nice, we didn't have issues with finding a sunbed, and members of staff were always there to assist if it was busy. Sometimes service for beverages or water was a little bit slow and we had to approach the bar to order but this was not a massive issue for us. Occasionally, towels for the poolside had run out by 10:30am and sometimes we would be waiting a significant amount of time for fresh ones to be brought out. The beach is nice and clean and the diving excursion to Mnemba Island was a lot of fun, Suleman was a great snorkelling guide. Because our check-in was delayed, we could not book our food in advance via the app. This system is awful. Its extremely stressful to rush to book your slots. To our horror, we saw there was no availability for our whole stay in any of the hotel restaurants. My husband approached reception and spoke to Anna who was extremely helpful for the duration of our stay. Anna made our stay very personable and managed to help us book slots in the restaurants. She constantly checked up on us which really nice and also left us a lovely note in our room on our anniversary. We was also re

It was a great trip, especially with a few good friends. Although there was no opposite sex, it did not affect our enjoyment of life and emotional release! The hotel is really perfect, with complete facilities, pleasant environment, and all three meals in the restaurant are well arranged. It was also a romantic party... Walking along the white beach in the morning and evening, riding a motorboat with the sunset... Perfect! Next time, I can really bring my family to Sang Island for a trip. It is hospitable and the scenery is pleasant! If you don't want to step on the pit of the hotel, come here!

Everything was perfect, I didn't expect it… very clean, comfortable beds and the rooms are beautiful, not like in the photos because they have renovated… comfortable sunbeds on the beach, always clean towels, excellent food at the restaurant. I recommend it, I loved it.

Very good resort. Facilities are top quality and well-maintained. Food was very yummy, although breakfast could offer more variety for a 5-star hotel (e.g. there was no smoked salmon for breakfast - I consider salmon to be standard at 5-star hotels catering to international clientele). Staff are well-trained and very professional. The resort also offers spa services as well as tour bookings, but we did not avail of these. For our travel dates the all-inclusive package on trip.com was by far the best value for money compared to booking directly or through any other website. One potential area for improvement is the provision of a mini rack on the balcony/veranda where guests can hang up wet clothes after a tour - would be a nice thing, which I've seen at some other resorts, as some guests just want their clothes to dry, not necessarily washed.

We stayed here for 8 days. The property is aging and trying to maintain its charm. The staff are generally friendly and trying to elevate the guest experience. However, our stay was less than stellar missing the mark for what we have come to expect at a Hilton property. The beach vendors are extremely aggressive and not deterred by the security, several bartenders are working deals to reduce bar tabs in favor of their personal tips, and hot water in the shower was unreliable - varied morning to evening with no determined pattern or schedule. The menu at the property was also a disappointment. It was the same menu at the various places to order food, and the supply chain seemed to suffer while we were there and menu items became unavailable while the remaining food quality diminished daily over the course of our stay. We actually opted to leave the property and eat elsewhere toward the end of the week. Beyond these issues, the lack of ability for the property staff to provide change was a constant issue. Everything on the property is tip based and local ATM and banks only distribute larger bills in local currency. This limits our desire to tip, or leave us overtipping with the available bills we could acquire. The property seemed to have no ability or desire to assist us as guests, just hoping we would use larger bills. Overall, we are disappointed with Hilton and would not recommend to stay at this property.
