"Entspannte und erholsame Ferien"

9.0

Das gesamte Personal sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer sehr sauber. Die gesamte Wohnung inkl. Veranda werden jeden Tag nass aufgenommen. Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig, ideal um sich zu entspannen. Wunderschöner Sandstrand. Grosser allg. Pool, welcher hauptsächlich genutzt wird, wenn Ebbe ist.

Das Essen könnte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein.

"Wunderbar erholender Aufenthalt an Sansibars wunderschönen Sandstrand."

10.0

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön am Meer, hat zudem einen großen Pool, in dem man wunderbar schwimmen kann. Und noch die Privatpools an den Bungalows. Diese sind sehr großzügig ausgestattet, besonders toll sind die Aussenduschen an jedem der beiden Bäder. Das Essen war ebenfalls toll, und ganz besonders die frischen Säfte an der Strandbar.

Die Pediküre war nicht ganz so toll.

"it’s very pleasant experience i would recommend and stay there again for sure."

10.0

I can fairly say that this place is one of the beat i have been. Very clean and warm atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and nice and always helpful especially mr.khamis he never hesitate to help us regarding any matter, big respect and thank u for him. My sister is vegan so the chefs were very helpful to make a good plates for her everyday. The place is very safe and the beach is private. They clean twice a day which makes the place always clean and nice smell and no insect inside the rooms. Some side downs, The wifi only outside the rooms and not strong. We had to buy toothpaste and toothbrush because none were provided in the rooms and they were not cheap and there was no sleepers in the rooms. But these small details didn’t bother us a lot so overall it’s very pleasant experience i would recommend and stay there again for sure.

Our family had a wonderful holiday at the hotel. The staff was always in touch and responded to any request immediately. Khamis Ali was extremely kind and really helped us out on our last day. We forgot our camera at the hotel and remembered it only when we arrived at the airport. Khamis did the impossible - he sent a driver with a camera in a short time and 5 minutes before boarding closed, he arrived and handed over our forgotten things. We are very grateful to him. It is not every day that you meet such responsive people. We recommend everyone to stay for a holiday at wonderful hotel The Sand Beach resort.
