    Beautifully serene! The hotel is meticulously maintained and the service is excellent. The staff are kind, friendly, and helpful, and the spa was just phenomenal. I had the body scrub with massage. My skin was left very moisturized and smooth for days. When I visited in September, Kisiwa was beautifully serene. Truly a must visit. I will be returning!
