The first hotel we stayed at upon arriving in Zanzibar. We received a very warm welcome and felt safe throughout our stay. The food was good, the staff were friendly, and overall we were very satisfied. The rooms were clean, and the service was excellent. The area was peaceful and pleasant.

Fantastic stay in this beautiful boutique hotel in Matemwe! Plus: Amazing ocean view room, great food, amazing staff (everyone is so kind and so nice!), fantastic diving team (be aware that Zanzibar doesn't have big sealife, but the small ones and the sites are beautiful), very relaxing stay, great service overall Cons: the only cons (but I knew that already and this was part of the reasons why I chose this hotel!) is that the hotel is very isolated so if you are looking for a lot to do, this is not the place for you!

We had a gorgeous sea view room for our 2 night stay. Bed is comfortable, balcony seats very comfortable: good shower etc. place is spotless with attentive housekeeping. Great stay if you’re looking to dive around Mnemba as the diving centre with lovely staff is in the resort. Menu is a bit limited for vegetarians and they ran out of quite a few ingredients (avocado, limes) so it wasn’t the best food we had and the area around the hotel is pretty quiet.

Les piscines sont agréables et chaudes. Le spa est niché dans une cabane en hauteur. Les jardins sont extrêmement bien entretenus et agréables. La petite terrasse privative devant notre chambre géniale.

Fantastiske og autentiske omgivelser. Hyggelig pool område med bar og restaurant lige ved siden af. Vi fik et hyggeligt og flot værelse med altan ud til vandet. Personalet var yderst høflige og søde. Desværre havde de ikke altid det hele på lager som de viste på deres menukort men vi blev mætte hver dag med godt og tilberedt mad. Kan klart anbefalde stedet for dem som bare har brug for at koble af og slappe af i autentiske omgivelser.

Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in der Sunshine Marine Lodge. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber und der direkte Blick aufs Meer grandios. Das Personal sehr aufmerksam. Das Frühstück hat unsere Wünsche erfüllt. Wir waren auch 2x im Hotel zum Dinner. Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut, das einzige was wir nicht so toll fanden, waren die doch im Vergleich teuren Preise. Das ist Schade.

We had an amazing stay at Sunshine Marine Lodge. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. The reception team helped with arranging tours and activities - we especially loved the tour of Stone Town! The hotel also offers transfer services from the airport, which was really convenient. The resort itself is beautiful and peaceful. The food was also great, especially the fresh fruit at breakfast and the daily specials for lunch and dinner. Cannot recommend this stay enough!

Relaxing holiday. All staff smiling, very friendly and service minded. Excellent team. The food was excellent, perhaps a bit expensive, but very tasty and beautifully served. Special thanks to the waiter Daniel who was really making a difference. We tried yoga and the yoga instructor Anna was really good, Stayed in the ocean view bungalow. The only thing which I recommend is a new madras as it was a bit used.

The staff at Sunshine went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay there wonderful. We especially would like to acknowledge Hamida, Rosemary and Daniel. Everyone there was great and always had a smile waiting for you. Service was top notch and their restaurant deserves a michelin star.

The best part of the hotel is the staff—warm, friendly, wonderful and willing to go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our stay wonderful. The location is far away from hustle and bustle of beaches like Nungwi. No one is trying to sell you anything here. The view from the pools is lovely and the dramatic rise and fall of the tide made for fun little adventures. The dive shop was handy and lovely. The snorkeling and diving at Mnemba were just 20 minute away and great. To note: there isn’t a swimmable beach in front of the hotel. For this, you wait until low tide and walk north to Muyuni or bike there…well worth it for the sandbar, starfish, and swimming. We are so thankful to Sunshine Marine Lodge team for sharing their beautiful space and smiles with us!

Man kann die sunshine marine lodge nur weiterempfehlen, man bekommt jeden Tag Wasser a und Kaffee - und Teebeutel, Wasserkocher vorhanden. Die Betten werden abends Mückensicher gemacht, das Menü für den ganzen Tag bekommt man aufs Handy mit den Ebbe und Flutdaten außerdem die Tagestemperaturen, fanden wir sehr gut!

Awesome time at the Sunshine! Great food, impecable service, a peaceful place to enjoy Zanzibar. The hotel is beautiful and offers many services (spa, free yoga classes, diving school inside the hotel). We had an amazing time and we wished to have stayed longer. Everyone at the Sunshine helped us to enjoy this moment so Kudos to everyone!!
