Luxury hotel featuring private villas with refined restaurant, cocktail bar, spa and swimming pool, directly on Pajé beach.

Kisiwa House is a beautiful bourgeois residence in Stone Town. Kisiwa on the Beach is the seaside version of this address of luxury and character, set on the island's most beautiful beach: Pajé. The 22 spacious private villas, designed to accommodate up to 2 children, all face the azure ocean and are set in a garden that guarantees privacy. They harmoniously blend colonial furniture and Swahili arabesques. The Bembe restaurant is a fine dining experience, as is the Poa cocktail bar. Wonderful spa, sublime swimming pool and gym.

We have spent 6 nights at the hotel and I would say my review is 50/50. There were things which are wow, amazing but there was always smth spoiling the mood. Reservation is hard. We are from Belarus and booking com is not working and our cards are not working as well. I requested from the hotel to pay at the reception as it is a low season and half of the rooms are empty they denied. So it was very hard to communicate. Another thing - half board. It is not a half board. It’s not mentioned anywhere neither on their website nor in booking com that half board does not includes drinks. Basically it’s just a food. Even water you have to buy and it is not cheap. The prices are like in Maldives but the service is not. I broke partially my tooth with the soup at my last dinner as there were bones inside and even my friend found the same. The hotel staff was notified. Last day during check out I found extra 10 $ charge for smth I never consumed and it took a lot of time for them to remove that charge. The beach is not for swimming you have to go to the Nest Hotel or somewhere else.

Good things: the staff are very kind and cute, everyone is friendly. Special thanks to the housekeeping team - outstanding job done. The waiters and waitresses are amazing, especially Viktor. They made my birthday memorable and it was fantastic. The food is nice as well. It is a half board, breakfast is always the same but you have enough meals to choose from and if you have a tour you can request for the breakfast on the go. Dinner was different-it was sometimes a small buffet, local food, Italian and etc. So it was enough definitely.
Overall I would recommend it to my friends, but definitely there should be some improvements. My advisor is to change a half board concept, maybe the hotel can get some sub boards or bicycles ???? for the guests to enjoy their time more and for free. Not all things have to be paid for.

This place is extremely over priced and extra charged on basically everything.
Rooms had coakroaches, fridge not working, and toilet and shower blocked.
Management says their “hands are tied” ??
I most certainly do not recommend this resort. Do your research before visiting this Island.

Really beautiful resort. It's a good size, so it's well maintained and fun to play with. It's nice to play in the pool, and although the beach in front isn't private, it's no different from being private because few other people come here. The staff are all fun and friendly.

Das Resort liegt am schönsten Strandabschnitt von Paje.
Die insgesamt 22 Villen sind nett eingerichtet, großzügig und sehr sauber.
Das gesamte Personal ist überaus höflich und bemüht.
Hervorzuheben ist die Ruhe, die schöne gepflegte Anlage u d vor allem das hervorragende Essen.
Die Bars und Restaurants sind fussläufig über den Strand in 10 Min. zu erreichen. Das Hotel verfügt über eine verlässliche und aufmerksame Hotel-Security.
Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen!

If you're having a hard time picking a hotel in Zanzibar, I have good news: you don't need to look any further. Kisiwa on the Beach and its other property, Kisiwa House (in Stonetown), are both luxurious hotels at great price points - especially when you consider the value. I would say that Kisiwa on the Beach has a five-star hotel level of service, amenities, aesthetics, and food/beverage. I have food restrictions and the staff had no trouble accommodating me. I was stunned by how delicious even simple food (like a vegetable wrap) was. They clearly put a lot of effort into everything. We had originally booked at another well-reviewed property in Paje, but we checked out early from that place because it was just not meeting our expectations. We walked into Kisiwa on the Beach and knew we had made the right choice. The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are spacious and contemporary, and the pool and beach lounge areas are quiet and beautiful. Everyone who works here is so friendly and happy to help in any way they can. We will only be staying at Kisiwa House and Kisiwa on the Beach when we visit Zanzibar in the future.
