I am from Houston,Texas and This was my first time vacationing in Zanzibar. I will say I got the best hospitality at VOI Kiwengwa than any other places I have been to outside America. The resort was awesome, the management was very helpful and listen to your concerns, OMG the staff are the best. The food and drinks was great. I highly recommend this resort to anyone that need a great vacation spot in Zanzibar Tanzania. I am surely taking my wife back to this resort every year. Is now my number one vacation spot in Africa. Thank you VOI Kiwengwa for the great hospitality especially Daniel and all the guys at the bar. You guys made my vacation the best

I had a wonderful stay and felt very safe, welcomed and taken care of by staff and management. The property is beautiful with authentic Tanzania architecture, intricate craftsmanship details and exotic decor while providing all the modern amenities and fun of a great all-inclusive resort / Italian Club. Plenty of bottled drinking water, nice bar drinks and wonderful food at the main restaurant. The property is gorgeous with meticulously maintained tropical gardens leading to the wonderful huge pool and exotic beach with plenty of comfortable loungers. The rooms are beautifully decorated and reflect authentic interior while having everything one needs for rest and relaxation. Special thanks to Philippo in management for accommodating my late arrival and to Omar for the great sign off. Wonderful live music by very talented Alessio performing Italian and English hits nightly. The entertainment team was so hard working around the clock and very attentive. Great shows! Nice group of guests at the resorts from different countries, great vibes and so much fun! Hope to be back! Thank you all!

It was on the beach. Lots of sun loungers and staff to help move them when required. Mostly geared up for Italian visitors as it is an Italian hotel. Would be nice to have had access to local tv programmes to give authentic feeling.

Good for beach, bad for food/drinks
Amazing beach. Great staff (locals and Italians). Comfort rooms. Bad food, bad drinks. Too noisy with loud animations (all-inclusive style). If food and drinks significantly improve, this can get to a 9/10.

Great time!
We had a really good stay at VOI. The beach was wonderful, although the tide does go out for a few hours around noon. The managers were helpful- they booked our excursions and taxis with minimal effort from us. The room was nice and clean and enough space for three people. It is a very Italian heavy populace- the signs in the dining room are primarily in Italian. But it is definitely a great all inclusive option with a great beach!

Voi Kiwengwa super cool
Ho trascorso una settimana fantastica al Voi kiwengwa resort in compagnia dei miei amici. Resort fantastico, location top, staff eccezionale, pulizia eccellente per non menzionare il cibo delizioso e gli aperitivi in spiaggia o garden ogni giorno. F&B manager (Roberto) sempre presente, attento ai dettagli affinché gli standard di qualità e professionalità fossero mantenuti sempre alti. Animazione altrettanto divertente, un grazie in particolare alla nostra Claudia che con la sua energia e simpatia ha conquistato i nostri cuori ed i nostri sorrisi. Grazie per aver reso la nostra vacanza speciale. Spero di ritornare presto a trovarvi! Consiglio vivamente questo resort! Jambo Jambo

The hotel itself is good one on the budget. The food is good and people are friendly. The only problem for us : full of italien. The entertainment,service all in italien. So we have feeling that isolated from the culture and atmosphere italien.

8/10 Very good

The local staff were fabulous, the Italian staff not so friendly to non Italians. I love Italy and the Italian people, but I think the marketing for this hotel should be a little more forthcoming about "true Italian hospitality" meaning that the entire resort caters to Italians. I have stayed at Spanish owned resorts, but that doesn't mean it is focused only on Spanish people and didn't appreciate the subtlety when booked. This resort is focused on Italians only and could be a more inclusive for Non-Italian guests. Entertainment looked fun, but the Italian staff only engaged the Italian guests in those activities, up to and including a reservation desk for Italians only, and the entertainment board in Italian and next to the Italians only desk. If this was the intent, I completely missed it in the marketing and hotel selection. FYI...I do speak some Italian, but I may have chosen another resort to have a more Tanzanian Zanzibar experience.
