gerald.partnerOct 28, 2024 I really love this resort and I highly recommend it for anyone in USA hoping to vacation in Zanzibar Tanzania. I am from Houston, Texas and I have made VOI my vacation spot in Tanzania. This is my second time taking my fiance to this resort and I just love the hospitality you get once you step a foot into this resort. The manager was very awesome and the staffs are probably the best people you can ever meet in the world especial Massai Name Daniel whom I call my friend and Malik at the front desk whom I also consider as friend after meeting them twice in two years.. The entire staff are just wonderful. Food and drinks are great and the environment is very clean. The bar tenders are the best, The entertainment group were wonderful. You can not beat this all inclusive resort cos is a place you want to go back after visiting once. I just wanna say thanks to the Entire staffs and management for always making us feel special whenever we visit VOI. And I will forever cherish the treatment we get whenever we visit VOI. Thanks and God Bless each and everyone of you for all you do for all the visitors..My only regret is I did not get the chance to tip all the wonderful Chelfs in the cafeteria for all the good food the prepared for us. God Bless!
robert.partnerSep 30, 2024 this is a nice property with good staff but if you are not italian,,,this is not the place to visit,,they cater to the itailian people exclusively,,,very bad buisness practice
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
shriya.familyOct 18, 2023 Lovely stay, friendly staff, great beach,
Limited options for vegetarian dining, and limited shaded areas around the pool.
Wonderful resort to stay to. Very friendly staff, beautiful beach. I had amazing holiday.
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.
Poor WiFi connection.food not that good
Positive:front desk very helpful especially the front desk manager tried his best to fix the problems
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.
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!
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
verified t.friendsSep 25, 2019 Organization and Entertainment Is great, one of the best.
Italian and French though, but lots of fun
verified t.partnerAug 13, 2019 The VOI is a must visit place , well organised and fun place to be. The staff are outstanding and wonderful.
verified t.familyJul 09, 2019 The pool and beach are amazing. The "beach boys" are annoying. The resort itself is big and nice. The food was just OK, but there was a large selection at the buffet. A good value for the money paid.
Everything perfect. Best resort I have been so far
Rooms are not very clean, insects on the floors, towels are smelly, entertainment only for Italians speaking guests , sitting area in the lounge not comfortable, dinning room is very casual , food covers are not tight to prevent insects in the dining room , public bathroom not clean, quality of food is good and good varieties, lighting in the main dining room is uninviting, beach is nice and clean , lack of water bottles
It was the best holiday ever,the staff is polite and the food was great.great experience!
For italien is really good choice
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.
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.
