"The beach is full of beds and you have as well the service button which is amazing you can eat and enjoy the beach at the same time."
"Palapas, to lay under looking out over the beautiful sea, white sand, a pool and very friendly staff!"

“Kendwa Rocks' bungalows sit right on a beach that feels like the island's social heart. I think this is the place to be if you want easy access to both the ocean and a lively atmosphere. It's a smart choice, particularly for families or anyone wanting to mix relaxation with readily available fun.”

i like the food in restaurant it was good. nushini, she was nice, she was very cute. i loved the catch of the day dorado, it tasted fresh you know. couches near the beach let you see view as you eat.
the room bed was very high off floor, and the room seemed like it had two levels. this felt uncomfortable and i could have fell. room lights was dim you see and the paint look it too. i could hear folks chatting outside.

the restaurant offered nice food at affordable prices. zakaria took excellent care of us. maimuna offered us friendly service with a smile.
the breakfast wasn't very diverse or good. the persistent requests for massages from the two men who walked around the hotel were annoying. the room was far from the beach.
