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.

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.

Beautiful place. Very comfortable Staff is so friendly and saw to our every need. Only problem is it is far to drive to other parts of the island from-which we knew but it does make it difficult to explore. Also would be nice if they had some type of opportunity for food other than the set hours for breakfast lunch and dinner. Other than that it’s a beautiful place and would highly recommend

The property is just basic. However, very relaxing! I witnessed some very unsanitary things happening with food and utensils. That turned me off and honestly, I was counting down till my departure within 2 hours of being on the property. They do not do anything to protect the food and they stick a wild cat in the cabinets that they store the silverware. This particular cat had all sorts of cuts around his neck and head, The thought of a cat let alone a wild cat in his condition being mixed closed into a cabinet where they were storing silverware for the guest is appalling! There was a limited terrible breakfast offered. However, after seeing the cat being stored with the utensils, eating was the farthest thing from my mind! The plus the owner/manager was really sweet. The rest of the staff was just okay.

It a small hotel and staff all friendly. It may not be for everyone it depends what you like. The pool was clean. The rooms ok, nothing to write home about. Bathroom dirty tiles and in the corners of floor. All in all we had a great time. Food varied but you need to choose what you want for the evening meal at breakfast in the morning. There is a choice of 3 starters, main and dessert. Sometimes there was nothing I liked but they can tweak it if you ask. The beach has a lot of rubbish and seaweed and is tidal so cannot always swim. When tide is in the sea is like a bath, so warm. We would recommend this if you are not setting your standards too high. Also good idea to book half board as only the rock restaurant as alternative and you will either need to walk or get a cab.

A great small little hotel, if looking for a place where to relax you found your place, not much to do more than doing nothing. Pictures on Hotels.com are genuine, great management as well as staff. The only thing that travelers must be aware of it that the tide is clearly not to be neglected, bring reef shoes. If looking for more action it’s just a seven minutes walk and you find a hip beach bar where you also can rent jet skis for example.

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!!

Excellent location. Amazing staff and owners that couldn’t do enough for us. Right on an amazing quiet beach. Only 20 rooms and although we had a large family group with very active kids they were not too intrusive. The facilities are very adequate and although the bedrooms were basic they were large and comfortable. The breakfasts were great and other meals quite OK. Nothing to rave about but good tare.
If you want to really get away from it all and spend time relaxing at the beach I can only but recommend Michamvi Sunset Bay.

Great location on a nice quiet beach. Not a whole lot to do in the are, but hotel has nice lounge chairs right on the beach as well as a restaurant and bar right on the beach.
The hotel seemed to be popular with middle aged Germans. They change the location of dinner every evening (in one of the 2 restaurants, by the pool, or on the beach), which is nice, but the food was nothing special (typical hotel food trying to cater to everyone). We were happier with the grilled seafood from the nearby beach bar.
My one negative comment would be on the rooms. The rooms are big and everything was clean, but the lighting and decor were quite stark. Compared to other hotels we stayed at on the island in a similar price range the room didn’t have a cozy or local feel. Other hotels also had a complementary fruit basket and a fridge. Given the hot weather a fridge for water would have been nice.
One nice thing - on check in I gave instant feedback on hotels.com and mentioned that the rooms lacked amenities. The manager approached us at dinner asking if there was anything she could do. One thing I mentioned was that there was no body lotion in the rooms. She said they didn’t have any but offered some oil from the spa. I said no thanks and wrote it off, but later on a big bottle of Dove lotion was delivered to our room. She had the other manager pick it up on his way. Really nice gesture and totally unexpected!
