"On it's own away from the outside area, this is an excellent property.
The beach can be accessed by others but that is not an issue and the beach traders are not intrusive.
Shopping, dining, leasure and activities all catered for on site but trips out can also be organised from within the complex.
But the the thing that makes this place are the staff, from the gardening team to head chef, each and every one was courteous, helpful and happy.
Well done staff you make this place."

"A lovely place with very friendly and helpful staff that went above and beyond to make the experience very pleasant. The room was very comfortable and watching the sun set from the restaurant and bar area was breathtaking and spotted a rainbow on the last day."

"Beautifully laid out, beach right out every front door, very clean, staff was helpful and friendly, great food and a quiet but still family atmosphere. You can tell the owners give a lot of attention to the details. Pool was so clean and beautiful. Also the landscaping was stunning and gave it an upscale resort feel while still having an intimate feel. They set up an excursion and airport ride and made the whole process easy. Would HIGHLY recommend this place and would stay here again!"

"Vi havde generelt et godt ophold. Servicen var god, og de ansatte var imødekommende og kommunikerende. Værelset var fint, og AC virkede upåklageligt. Eneste minus var badeværelset, som var uden afskærmet brusekabine og bestemt ikke lever op til standarden for et godt hotel. Hotellet har god beliggenhed helt ned til havet, og stranden er dejlig og umiddelbart mindre turistet end andre steder på Zanzibar. "

The staff were exceptional — every single member of the team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly exceeded expectations. The spa was the best ever."

"The staff at La Perla were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.
The room was very clean but basic and more African style rather than modern which for me was the attraction.
The pool area is extremely clean and there’s plenty of sun beds both around it and on the beach.
Food is the restaurant is very decent and doesn’t cost the earth. The view of the beach from the restaurant is amazing. The resort doesn’t sell alcohol but the restaurant next door does if that’s important to you."

"Tembo Kiwengwa Resort is amazing, hotel is very clean and staff are caring and helpful. This is place is actually 100/10 rating. I have no words to add. The hotel itself is a vacation. Towels were a little musty, just bring your own towels."
"Fabulous. Team is improving property to keep up with use but what makes this place magic are the PEOPLE. Wow — words do not suffice to express the care and comfort they offer."
