Set in Nungwi, 200 metres from Royal Beach, Canary Two & SPA offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a kids' club and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel features an indoor pool, karaoke and room service.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need. Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us. It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion. They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

Excellent service from all the team with special thanks to Mert. We stayed in the ocean view suite which hada perfect view of the ocean. Breakfast choices were great with lots of fresh fruits and options for vegetarians. The breakfast changed on a daily basis so we were pleasantly surprised every morning. Lunch and dinner options were fantastic and every dish we ordered was delicious. The restaurant overlooks the beach so whether it’s high tide or low tide, the views are just spectacular. The photos we took just don’t do the views justice. The beds were a little on the hard side but very comfortable. Shower pressure was fantastic with no problems with hot water.

Located on a sandy beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar, this Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco offers luxurious rooms with views of tropical garden, pool and the Indian ocean. The lush tropical gardens contain an outdoor pool and swim-up bar.

My brother and me spent 5 days in Nungwi beach resort by Turaco This was my second time at this hotel, I really enjoyed my time on the first visit, this is why I decided to come a second time. I say happily that the only change, I met , was that the food was much better and had more variety. The hotel is located in the middle of probably ,the nicest beach in Zanzibar. Tourquis water, fishermen boats taken like from a picture, white sand, and palm trees. The people at the hotel are always very kind and helpful, doing everything with a smile on their face. Rooms are very comfortable and very clean. I took a second time the all-inclusive deal, I think it is worth it. One can drink as much cocktails as he wants, can choose between Pizza or Hamburger at the pool or a buffet for lunch and a good dinner buffet. The Alcoholic cocktails, which I mentioned, are of a real high level. I don’t know if it is because of the fresh tropical fruits or the bartenders, who prepare them. I have been to some fensi hotels, like Hyatt in Cancun, but for my taste they are not coming to this level. While there, ask Benson, maybe the best bartender I met, to prepare a Pinacolada or Mango Daciri, he is a real professional. Thanks also to Lea, who always does her best, so we can feel like in a home. I recommend this hotel to anybody, who is going to make a holiday in Zanzibar.

    It's a nice not too big hotel and all the rooms are walking distance to its restaurant. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The all-inclusive is in fact partially all-inclusive, which you find out when you read the bar menu. So, if this is important in making your choices, keep this in mind. Hotel staff is very friendly.

    We had a brilliant stay at Sansi Kendwa Beach resort. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and Joseph the manager was exceptional. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. The food was fresh and of very good quality. The hotel has a stunning beach with plenty of sun loungers and beautiful clear water to swim in. A particular highlight was an amazing dinner on the beach at full moon, thank you to all the staff for arranging this.

    we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!

    Kendwa beach resort was a big tick on location, ambience, cleanliness and facilities. Right on Kendwa beach, where the sunsets are gorgeous. Our room came with a great sea view, and was very clean and spacious. We had a lovely time here!

    Wonderful experience. Hotel beach area was great, pool was a good size (33m). All staff were friendly and helpful. The resort was a good size to walk around and experience nature. The facility management were constantly making sure everything was perfect and nothing was broken. We only ate at the buffet restaurant every night as the changes each day was good for us. Gym was good. Night entertainment was also very good and well thought about.

    The resort is beautifully set in lush gardens, the room was spacious with aircon and mosquito net. The food was great, loved the fresh passion fruit every day. We had an AI package, which meant we didn't have to leave the resort, other than for snorkeling or swimming in the sea. The staff was friendly, always Hakuna Matata! If you have EUR or USD at home,bring cash. The kids loved the pool table, table tennis, volleyball and the pool!
