Michamvi Sunset Bay

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.

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 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.

Wonderful boutique property. Great beach. Good food choices. Full board worked out well. Very friendly manager and staff. We had late checkout till 2:30 PM as room was empty next day.

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.

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.

Great beach, and activities around the hotel. The room and food was good.

Great hotel, fantastic staff and gorgeous location: not to be missed, warmly recommended.

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.

Trevligt hotell vid/på stranden. Ganska lugnt läge så man är mycket på hotellet. Bra managers med bra koll. Ok internet lite svajigt.

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)

The hotel rooms are a bit dated, otherwise nice host! The beach & pool & bar area are quite nice!

Will definitely return to this magical friendly place

Very Good location. Service is quite good, rooms are very confortable and management is excellent.

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.

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.

Meget roligt sted. Stranden var ikke den bedste men poolen var medium
