Wunderschöne Anlage mit sehr netten Personal. Unser Zimmer roch etwas muffig und feucht, aber ansonsten war alles top sauber. Das Essen war gerade zum Abendessen sehr gut, zum Frühstück hätten wir uns etwas mehr Abwechslung gewünscht. Ebenso etwas längere Zeiten zum Frühstücken. Bisher von 7-9Uhr. Kajaks und SUPs kostenfrei zur Verfügung mit denen man z.B. bis in die Mangroven fahren kann. Einsam, verwunschen. Wunderschön. Weniger schön ist, dass rechts und links vom Hotel wahnsinnig viel gebaut wird. Der bisher so einsame Ort wird bald überlaufen sein. Schön, dass wir ihn noch so einigermaßen unberührt erleben durften.

Location excellent, staff were lovely and very helpful, pool area great, beach beds shaded under coconut palms. Sea had a lot of weed but still fine for swimming. Food was good and they set up the dinner dining area in different locations including twice on the beach which was magical.

The moment we arrived at michamvi sunset bay resort we knew that we would have great and relaxing time there. It is a beautiful place and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the trip and made us feel at home. The room was very clean and comfortable and offered a nice view of the garden/pool area and the bay. The beach in front of the hotel was cleaned every morning (like the rest of the hotel). Due to a celiacs disease my wife needs a strictly glutenfree diet, and the kitchen crew at the hotel went all-in in providing safe and delicious options. They cooked the glutenfree food seperately from the rest, tried new recipies for bread, and the carrot-cake was perfect as well. We definetely recommend michamvi sunset bay resort and will come back the next time we come to zansibar.

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold hos Michamvi Sunset Bay. Personalet er enestående og gjør sitt ypperste for å gi deg best mulig service og sikre deg et godt opphold. Du føler deg ivaretatt og at personalet oppriktig bryr seg om deg. Maten var god og selve plassen er svært vakker. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

This hotel is magnificent with a location right on the beach, which is clean and has calm waters where you can swim without encountering sea urgents. Food is lovely and the staff smiling and helpful at all times. The new bathrooms are great.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Sunset Bay as a family following a safari. The resort is superbly designed, full of palm trees and greenery and is also the only one in the area to have a seamless transition to the white beach. There are always plenty of sun loungers and due to the relatively small number of rooms, there is always a very relaxed atmosphere. Really unique makes the resort the entire team. All the staff, without exception, are very friendly and professional. The manager Shirley is fantastic. Always approachable, helpful with literally every question and inquiry and as a guest you feel very quickly like at home. The food was excellent. A very wide range of dishes from all over the world, served every evening in a different place (On the beach,at the pool or in the restaurant). The kitchen staff is great and for us it was especially helpful, that our daughter that suffers from the celiac disease, has prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner excellent gluten free dishes for her. And unlike other places that claim to cook gluten-free, at Sunset Bay there was a real understanding of the requirements that gluten-free dishes entail. That all four of us were then able to enjoy for a week the great food with lots of variety was a great relief. If you are looking for a lot of "action", you will probably find it more in big hotels and resorts. However, we can't think of a better place to relax and enjoy the sun, sea and local cuisine and hospitality.

We had our christmas holiday at Michamvi this year, and we are so happy that we did. With only 20 rooms this place is just so chill and nice. The location overviewing Zanzibar island, but also the beautiful sundown over both the Island and ocean. Thank you to all the staff, but a special thanks to Shirley who went that extra step to make us even more appreciated as guests... :o)

En gemytlig, vacker resort med härlig atomosfär och personligt bemötande. Michamvi på den östra sidan av Zanzibar är mycket lugnare än de exploaterade delarna i nordväst. Stränderna i Michamvi är vackra, men tidvattnet är påtagligt - så poolen fyller en viktig funktion mitt på dagen. Vi trivdes väldigt bra här, hela familjen.

Vi havde en fantastisk ferie på dette resort. Der var en rolig og behagelig stemning, da hotellet ikke er for stort og dermed et fint antal gæster. Sødt personale som er meget hjælpsomme, dejlig mad og virkelig smukke omgivelser. Hver dag så vi solnedgangen fra stranden eller hotellets Sunset bar, dermed ligger hotellet perfekt. Stranden er virkelig skøn (sand så blødt som mel), trods meget lavvande nogle timer hver dag hvor vi ikke kunne bade i havet, men så hoppede vi bare i poolen. De varmeste anbefalinger herfra hvis du ønsker afslapning, ro, sol, badning og at koble helt fra. Vær dog opmærksom på at der ikke er meget at lave (ture kan bestilles via hotellet) og at der ikke findes indkøbsmuligheder tæt på hotellet.

We had a wonderful 4 night/5 day stay at this property. With only 20 rooms, you got very personalized service and all the staff were very friendly and helpful, and compliments to the chef as the food was great! If you are looking for a nice quiet place to relax and appreciate the sunset this is the place. Although the beaches are public, we felt like we had the place entirely to ourselves, never had to fight or rush for beach chairs/loungers.

Staff and management were very friendly and accommodating. We were a family of 4 with two small boys who are picky eaters. The staff accommodated special kids meal request anytime during our stay. Beach is beautiful and the water is very warm. The pool is a nice break, very clean and warm as well. I communicated with the hotel prior to our arrival and always received a quick response. We didn't venture far from the hotel beach however other guests took advantage of various off-site activities. Keep in mind there is only hotel laundry services so pack accordingly and no market or store that is within walking distance to get snacks etc if you are travelling with children. The hotel arranged transit to and from the airport with no issues.

Beautiful place, though a little bit hard to find. As we arrived I thought we had gone the wrong place, but as soon as the gate opened I understood that our stay would be as wonderful as I had hoped. The resort is perfectly sized. It offers tours, a spa (did not visit), pool, two places to eat, a bar, and some water equipment (SUP, kayaks, ...), while it is not so large that you feel invisible to the resort management. The beach works well both for swimming and splashing around. Rooms are very comfortable. We will definitely recommend the place to our friends.

We stayed 3 nights at Michamvi and found it to be exceptional. The level of service is excellent, the food and accommodation just what we expected and the facilities were great. Particularly liked the fact that they have canoes and snorkeling gear, together with a beach volleyball court - kept us more than occupied. The setting is also excellent as whilst its on the quiet side, the beach is much better, there are beach bars in both directions, together with a few alternative places to each should you feel the need to wander. Just for the purpose of suggesting some form of small improvement, I would organise some form of post dinner activity (say 3 or 4 times a week). Guests are not looking for anything too touristy - perhaps wine tasting - perhaps someone just playing the guitar at the bar. Something low key. The only other thing I can suggest is that perhaps give guests a 1 page list of places that they can walk or canoe to - the mangroves, the hidden beach bars, the great walk around the peninsular - it would allow people to cherry pick what they wanted to do up front - good for the adventurous types. Overall however - excellent - would definitely go back!!
