I had a truly wonderful experience at the resort. The location was stunning, right on the beach with soft white sand and clear waters. The villa was spacious and provided all the comfort I needed for relaxation. The staff genuinely cared about our stay, making it feel personal and special, especially when it came to our family. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited on non-buffet days, which was slightly disappointing. Overall, it was a great value for money with excellent amenities.

My stay at Kisiwa Beach Resort was simply incredible. The spacious beachfront villas provided direct access to one of the most stunning sandy beaches I've ever seen. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. While the dining was generally enjoyable, the local Tanzanian cuisine really stood out, reinforcing what a gem this place is. However, I noticed that during peak season, the temperatures could get uncomfortably hot.
