Beautiful location by the beach. Delicious Italian inspired food, and good drinks.

It's good to be home

Bottom line up front: this is a beautiful property with rooms and food that do not live up to the billing. The good first: the property is absolutely gorgeous with old, majestic baobab trees throughout. The landscaping is top notch and the beach view is absolutely stunning. The pool is gorgeous with a beach view and the drinks at the poolside bar were great. The staff are also super friendly and a few are conversant in several languages. The bad: the food is overpriced and poor quality. We did not do all-inclusive and ordered a la carte as the buffet food did not look appetizing. Unfortunately, the menu food was equally bland and uninspired. They charge $40 for 4 very modest sized prawns. I would not consider them jumbo prawns and they did not taste fresh. The room was even worse. The attention to detail is clearly lacking. We had to ask 4 times to get the room arranged as requested in the reservation, with 2 twin beds. The A/C was completely nonfunctional, and the room remained hot and stuffy throughout the night. The screens on the windows were filled with holes so we could not open them for a breeze. As they changed the sheets, the mattresses were filthy. And the shower faucet was falling apart. Several of the spigots had fallen out and water fell unevenly. The refrigerator was completely non-functional and spoiled our food. The cheapness of the finishings in the room shocked me given the price point. The front desk was accommodating so adding 1 star for them.

Sandies has a beautiful location, lovely staff and all the amenities one needs to enjoy a vacation.

Allt va perfektion till det minsta lilla. Personalen, bemötandet, hotellet, utbud av allt, maten. Ett exemplariskt hotell.

Lovely peaceful beach hotel. Super friendly staff. Chef Halal was really helpful with our gluten free requirements

Happy friendly staff, so obliging.

Loved everything about this resort. On the sandy white beach, adorable huts, excellent food & accommodating staff who smile all day long! It’s hard not to relax

Nice resort. Good food. Large rooms with nice showers and plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Security around the property made me feel safe. Beach is nice when the tide is out. Lots of lounge chairs available. Workers all over the property cleaning, raking, trimming the trees/bushes. Very well maintained public spaces.

En general buena. El personal del staf encantador!!! No puedo decir lo mismo del personal de recepción…nos querían cobrar dos veces el check out, no hicieron una llamada para consultar en una tienda disponibilidad de una pantalla, porque mi móvil se quedó totalmente negro y teñía que cambiarla…

A Hotel Experience Like No Other I have travelled to many places and stayed at wonderful, luxurious hotels, but I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a hotel as much as this one. It is truly amazing in so many ways. The Soul of the Hotel – The Staff The best thing about the hotel is the staff—they are the soul of the place and make your stay unforgettable. Everyone is genuinely kind and interested in you, from the gardeners tending to the grounds to the chef, reception staff, and waiters. Their warmth and care are what truly set this resort apart. Specifically, I would like to thank the following staff for taking such wonderful care of us during our stay. All the staff members were incredibly kind, but we interacted the most with Osrida, Christina, Sarah, Odria, Ellen, Lydia, and Anna. They were kind, efficient, and made us feel like part of a family. Their attentiveness and friendliness added so much joy to our time at the resort. Breathtaking Setting and Beautiful Grounds The hotel is situated in a beautiful lagoon in Nungwi, with absolutely breathtaking beaches. A special touch: there’s a bench placed by the hotel for guests to sit and enjoy the staggeringly beautiful sunsets over the beach and pool area. The grounds feel like an oasis unto themselves. I ventured outside and looked at other nearby hotels, but none had the same lush, manicured greenery. It felt like living in a botanical garden, surrounded by birdsong. Truly a paradise.

Muito bem

Beautiful beach, good location, so so breakfast, ok dinner.

Tudo excelente

The beach out the front of the property was nice and the hotel itself is large. We stayed for 3 nights in a garden cottage room, the first room we were given had one lamp for lighting and was close to construction, after speaking to management about the less than average room, we were moved to another garden cottage room which was better. The rooms are a little outdated but fine for the time we were there. We paid for the all inclusive package as it was much easier, the food buffet’s had plenty of options and lots of food. Wine selection wasn’t great and no options to choose from different ones which was disappointing if you didn’t want spirits. 2-3 days is enough to spend up in the area. Finally, whilst there are security guards around, we did see a number of locals that sell things on the beach walking around the hotel grounds.

Staff friendliness, lovely beach. clean and tidy
