The overall resort is located at a beautiful beach surrounded with palms and natural shadow. all the stuff is super friendly and ready to help and address all of your questions immediately. The hotel manager is is a excellent host super friendly and well English speaking. we stayed 10 nights in a family villa with a private pool. The villa has been cleaned twice per day , the private pool each morning normally while we ware at the breakfast. The breakfast had variety for everyone , European kitchen with local infusion amazing fresh fruits. we had dinner included in our package and ware each evening enjoying fresh sea food , local cuisine however pizza and pasta ware also on daily menu.

There was nothing to dislike - it was a wonderful vacation.

"Fantastic hotel complex! Fantastic bungalows, the rooms are extremely comfortable and clean, a wonderful garden with poo"

10.0

The Sands Beach Resort is secluded from the major tourist spots, which is exactly what we chose, making the location perfect for us! The hotel is simply wonderful! A very small hotel for about 40 guests with a dreamily large and beautiful garden area with a palm-lined pool and beach! The staff, from reception to the chef, waiters, chefs, and even the chambermaid, were incredibly friendly and helpful, and always in good spirits! The beach is equally stunning! The buffet breakfast and dinner were also exceptionally well-prepared. Many thanks to the Sands Beach team; we had a fantastic stay! We will definitely be back!

"Amazing vacation at the best resort in Zanzibar with delicious food and the friendliest employees"

10.0

We enjoyed our stay very much - everything from the food, to the beach and the staff. The resort has an amazing location with great view of the ocean, beautiful nature with all kinds of flowers, trees and fresh coconuts from the palm trees. The food is excellent, a big variety of different food each day and vegetarian options. The staff was extraordinary - they somehow always managed to find a great solution to all our questions, needs and requests and even managed to surprise us with the result. It was truly the best vacation we have ever been on - the atmosphere is relaxing, the food is amazing and everyone helps you have the best time. We would like to thank all the amazing and very friendly people we met, who work at the resort, for making our trip even more memorable and especially John for his everyday jokes, conversations and quality time spent with us. It was a pleasure for us and we hope to see you all again!

The worst part was when we had to leave. The place felt like a home to us and the staff felt like family at the end. We were so sad on our last day and we did't want to leave the resort and the island.

"Merveilleux séjour, nous y retournerons !"

10.0

Très bon restaurant, plage de rêve, bar de plage sympa (tranquille sans musique). Très grande maison bien équipée, très grande piscine commune plus piscine privée. Jardins luxuriants. Très calme

Un peu isolé, il faut prendre un taxi pour sortir de l'hôtel et voir d'autres choses.
