Guest reviews
"We have totally fallen in love with Kinondo Kwetu. We love its understated elegance, its attention to detail and its ability to offer total relaxation. The staff are the best and the food is wonderful. We will be back."
"We found heaven on earth and spent a week in total transcendence with the sea, the soft breeze and the loveliest staff – we couldn’t have been more relaxed and happy. Our family created fantastic memories thanks to Kinondo. We will never forget this and really hope to come back."
"We have spent most unbelievable few days in what can only be described as paradise. Kinondo Kwetu is the ultimate place to unwind and forget about the pace of real life – in fact I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to get back to speed! The team are exceptional – nothing is ever too much trouble and their friendly, professional and caring natures are a huge part of what makes this place so very special. I really hope in the future we can come back and do it all over again – this has been the best ever start to married life."
