VOI Kiwengwa Resort - All Inclusive

Nice and cosy place

Few days ago, I came back from this beautiful place, and I would like to share my thoughts. First of all, I have read a lot of reviews before choosing it, and some of them were quite negative and I can’t agree with them. So, I will try to give my view of some concerns. ROOMS: I’ve received a room on the 2nd floor with an Ocean view. Rooms are cozy with comfortable beds and a quite big bathroom. They are cleaned every day by the kind staff. Air conditioning works well, which is important as there is pretty hot. FOOD: This is the thing I was worried about the most. But it turned out that it was not necessary. This hotel offers delicious food. For a breakfast there are sweet rolls, pancakes, French toasts, eggs in any form, cereals, yoghurt, ham, cheese, and a lot of fruits. One thing which is missing is a bigger variety of bread as there are only toasts. The bigger variety of food was during lunch and supper. This hotel offers delicious pasta, pizza, sushi, a lot of different fishes, meat, and burgers, there are also local meals and veggies. I also recommend trying their desserts and fruits (especially pineapple!). Restaurant is served by kind, friendly and helpful staff. I always had a table booked by one of the waiters. So, to sum up, food is really tasty here. BEACH: Beautiful wide beach with fine sand. For me it was the best beach comparing to other hotels nearby. Ocean is really warm – water was like 30 degrees. Sunbeds are under palm trees which gives the great vibe. During relax you can listen to the music thanks to the Bravo animators. From this point I would like to say thank you to Ali – the best worker. He always cares about guests, bring them mattresses, makes sure if everything is okay. He is really kind and always smiling man. He also brings and prepares coconuts! Ali – Asante! Really good job. POOL: The pool is quite small, but it’s good to cool of when the Ocean is too warm. I’ve read that the water is salty, but I don’t think so. The water in the pool is sweet. The pool is 130 cm at its deepest point. GARDENS: Spectacular view in every part of the hotel. Beautiful palm trees, banana trees and other plants making this place magical. There are also a lot of different species of animals – colorful birds, lizards, monkeys. I feel relaxed during the walk. Magical place. LOBBY & BEACH BARS: As well in lobby as well at the beach, drinks are served in paper cups. It didn’t bother me as I have been in a lot of different places when such situations happened, and what is more at the Lobby bar you can ask to get drink in glass, so there is no problem. All drinks are tasty. They are served by the best staff! Especially by Mariam and Martha. These two were so kind to everyone, always smiling and entering into small talks. When I came at the bar, I’ve always had my drinks already prepared. Mariam, Martha – Asante! You’re the best! ENTERTAINMENT: The entertainment is provided by the animators from Bravo. Animations are in English

The best 11 days of November, good food, beautiful view from the room, close to the beach, animations that make every day more interesting. Bravo club was perfect conducted everyday. I recommend to everyone.

The staff was great all very friendly, the food was good you could always found something you liked. The room wasn’t good there was lots of ants and you could spray yourself to get rid of them but they were always back and the room didn’t smell good. The gym wasn’t open, i was very disappointed because it was in the website. The garden, beach and swimming pool was very nice.

This hotel is beautiful - the buildings, gardens , pool, restaurant and rooms are really well presented and in my opinion even better than it looks in photos! We were really impressed with the quality of the food - the buffet had so much variety and something for everyone and the quality of the food was great. We never felt like we were eating the same thing every night. Staff are lovely and extremely helpful with everything - on our last day check out was at 10am but we were not being picked up until 6pm, so the hotel offered us another room from 4pm to shower and freshen up before leaving which meant we could have another day on the beach! A really lovely thing I have not experienced in other hotels. There were some entertainment options in the evenings but I think more to do would have been nice - e.g pool tables, table tennis etc. there is only one bar to sit in during the evening so it felt a bit repetitive after a week. This is not the hotels fault but something else to be aware of is the beach sellers too. We were quite overwhelmed with the number of locals (both in traditional dress and plains clothes) who stand on the beach in front of sunbeds trying to sell things constantly - you cannot walk in or out of the sea without them approaching for a conversation and then eventually selling something. We found it harassing and really quite annoying when trying to relax. I think they would be along all the hotels on this coastline stripso if you didn’t want i would suggest staying somewhere with a private beach.
