Hotel is nice and it has a beautiful beach but the maids are very rude . They ask you to come out of your room to clean and when I came back 1 1/2 hour late the room was not even touched, they forget about you . For the high price I paid I expect better customer service . The food wasn’t bad but it was good either , very average . I think there is better places you can find for your money .

Beautiful beach. Great service. All staff helpful and have a big smile. Some wifi issues and power went out a few times but all manageable. Food is good, but not great buffet style.

An amazing hotel with superb access to the beach. Staff is super kind and helpful. It does however attract quite snobbish ppl from all over the world that didn’t seem to understand how I (as a black man) could stay at such a nice property. Didn’t allow it to bother me but it was very noticeable. Just be mindful of this if you are a person of color visiting this property!

If u think you come to high level of service and comfort because you paying from 300 dollars per night... don't go here. Food medium.. service not good really.. housekeeping poor: Did not get fresh towels.. and you felt they not been there to clean at all. The shower.. cold water..little hot water. Food, only medium. Find another place.. so many others:)

Well preserved property features with regulated air-conditioned rooms. Friendly staff and highly motivated crews for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only downside is absence of a discount when purchasing alcoholic beverages by the bottle.

Tne hospitality shown by Jefta was amazing!He helped us with finding a quad bike company and helped us with transport to and fro from the hotel. Loved our stay and we will return.

Everything was amazing, the staffs are really nice and friendly, just they have to do something about the mosquitoes. There were so many!

Lovely friendly staff, nice location for daily sunset!

The location is amazing but the food was below my expectation. We've been to a few other places and it was so delicious but in the hotel it's tasteless.

Unsafe they stole money from the safe. Management did not do anything in spite of reporting the theft. Poor service takes 30 mins to get an order of fries at lunch time. Drinks are also watered down and not very good liquor is used Water in the beach is very sharp rocks and has sea urchin Barely 2 star property. Don’t trust their five star rating. We stayed one night of a four night stay and checked out property did not refund for the nights we left property. Even this being the case it was the best decision we made to move out because we felt unsafe there. there are tons of other very nice properties in Zanzibar on east side of the island and I would not recommend this property to anyone even if you were on a budget.

We had money stolen from the safe. When we arrived there were dead ants and live spiders in the room. The room wasn’t even cleaned properly fi remove dead insects. Service at the restraints is poor took me 30 mins to get an order of fries!! When we wanted to move out because we felt unsafe property management did not refund us for the nights we did not stay there. This hotel has a high guest rating on Expedia but I would barely give it 2 stars. Nungwi beach outside the property has tons of sea urchin and rocky. You should not walk on it without proper footwear. The drinks at the property are not very good. All in all we spent one day of a 4 day booking and moved out. Best decision we made !!!

Good resort in a very good location. The sun bed "reservation' system is a nightmare. You need to place your towels early in the morning to have a chair and more than half of the beds are not used during the day. Must be changed. The buffet is good (if you like that concept). Saturday night beach barbeque with fish and shellfish highly recommended. Good big rooms (stayed in a deluxe room).

The beach is nice , one of the best beaches in Zanzibar . The restaurant was well organized and Abbas the manager was very friendly. The hotel has a college campus vibe so if you’re looking for a romantic trip this might not be the ideal setting .noise can last up until 2am. Last but not least if you are looking for diversity in demographic ..this might not be the ideal environment.

Nice stay in the resort!

Sandies is a great resort! From your first encounter with Joyce, one knows the stay will be a pleasure. Great Wi-Fi with booster. Manicured landscape. Very SAFE! AWESOME fees from the beach front dinning facility with friendly staff. We stay in a bungalow with no Neighbours around except for one side. Great rain shower. My wife and will definitely come back!

Very friendly staff, good food, beautiful beach and nice bedrooms! We had a pleasant stay at Sandies Baobab… highly recommended

Great location and really nice, modern & clean rooms and facilities - we stayed in a superior category. Recommended - but do expect Wi-Fi to be less stable & fast.

Very slow check in process

Overpriced for the quality of the resort Food wasn't great Cocktails were horrible. Very nice private beach

We chose this property based on YouTube reviews and were happy our expectations were met. The food was better than expected and the grounds/wait staff was incredible. It was nice to have a few food staples at each meal like omelette station and pancake/crepes, or at dinner the pasta station and grill. Fresh fruits and salads at each meal also make us very happy. We would stay there again and would look forward to the specific beach the property has. The white powdery sand that leads to crystal clear water, swimmable in both low and high tide, was just wonderful. We opted to rent a car for the same price as a shuttle, and loved the freedom to do the spice tour and snorkel as we found the beach the boats launched from. Walking the length of the Nungwi beach, we were confirmed in our choice of property. It really was such a lovely escape.

First time in Zanzibar, loved the place with some amazing scenery around. Specially the sunset. The hotel was descent although it is disappointing to see that none of the rooms had see view and our room was lacking a simple fridge and an iron. Apart from that the staff we amazing and very friendly. I would certainly recommend this place again to all our fiends and family.

The beach was really beautiful and the hotel has good service.

Overall, good stay. Great location with nice beach and walking distance to restaurants. Rooms are ok. Decent pool and grounds. If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel in the area, I would recommend. Did not purchase all inclusive as breakfast was included and off property food options are pretty inexpensive in the area..

Absolutely lovely, pool-bar area is very good with entertainment ( not too much), beach area with sun chairs ( not many resorts have the same), restaurant serves good buffet. Rooms are really good and well maintained ( with no TVs, perfect). Plugs are 2 point plugs only.

Nice location and nice beach

Wonderful buffet for all meals! Breakfast is free and discounts were given for lunch ($13) and dinner ($20). Everyday was different spread and delicious options.

It was just an avarage hotel with a pretty high night prices. Our stay was okayish but I think we could have found a better deal for the same price. We chose this one for a honeymoon hotel but it was more like a B&B with poor facilities

The ll inclusive aspect was a first for me, other than cruising.
