Michamvi Sunset Bay

We recently stayed at Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort and overall had a relaxing and peaceful experience, though a few areas left room for improvement. Positives: The resort is impeccably clean and set in a quiet, tranquil location, making it ideal for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The lush green and well-maintained landscaping add to the charm, creating a peaceful and picturesque environment throughout the property. It has direct access to a pristine, almost private beach. The calm waters and stunning sunsets create a postcard-perfect setting. The availability of free kayaks and paddle boards was a great bonus, allowing for some light adventure without any additional cost. Negatives: The biggest letdown for us during our stay was the food. We had opted for the half board plan, but both breakfast and dinner failed to impress. While the breakfast menu covered the basics.. the Dinners had fancy descriptions but were often poorly executed in terms of flavour and preparation excepting a few dishes. Also, despite the resort’s website marketing that dinners would be served in different locations with live entertainment, this wasn’t the case during our three-night stay — all dinners were served in the same dining area each evening, which took away from the promised variety and experience. Another surprise was the absence of shrimp or lobster on the menu — neither was it served nor available to order, which was disappointing for a beachfront property in Zanzibar. Final Thoughts: Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort truly shines when it comes to natural beauty, cleanliness, and peaceful surroundings, making it a great choice for relaxation and beach lovers. However, for those who place a premium on culinary experience and in-room comfort, there are some noticeable shortcomings. With improvements to the dining quality and in-room amenities, the resort has the potential to become an exceptional destination.

Ein tolles kleines Hotel, welches keine Wünsche offen lässt Das Personal ist jederzeit mehr als zuvorkommend, das Essen ist hervorragend und wird jeden Tag in einer besonderen Art und Weise zelebriert. Vielen Dank für diese außergewöhnliche Zeit. Stephanie und Mario

It was the most amazing experience, everyone was helpful and it felt like home. Oh and the food amazing. I am definitely going back. Josia, Ken were so helpful and made us feel right at home. Rooms are cosy and the aesthetic beautiful. Keep up the good work.

My partner and I stayed at Michamvi Sunset Bay in January and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a relaxing and well serviced hotel, although it’s not got much to do near by. So if you are looking for an adventure type holiday, this is not your place. If you are looking to totally chill out and relax, and eat yummy food – this is your place! The bedrooms are nicely designed and spacious, and bathrooms are new and clean. You get fresh milk in your room for cups of coffee/tea whenever you want, which is a nice touch. Shirley the GM is an absolute delight and gives everyone personal service making sure every guest is happy. Congratulations Shirley on how you run this hotel! And she is well supported with friendly staff. The food is amazing, from breakfast, lunch to dinner - always different choices to try. You get a beautiful sunset every night which is such a highlight and nice to have pre dinner drinks watching it go down. It’s such a bonus to get the sunset on Zanzibar without having to go up to busy Nungwi.

The place is realy great! Ocean, beach, view - everything is absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately the hotel is a disaster. I don't understand, why it's rated with 4 stars, it doesn't deserve it. Our room was pretty bad: old furniture; loud refrigirator (did you hear starting Boeing 747? Yepp, something like that ), more of that, it can hit you with electricity! The AC works well but it was not cleaned for ages, there was a mold there! The bath room have seen better times: everything is old and rusty. There were problems with all: power, warm water, wifi (and internet). When we asked the manager about that, she told us, that everything will be fixed soon, but... in most of cases it happened again... and again.. and again. Ah, the personel. They are pretty tricky there. They smile you, but can bring a rotten seafoods for lunch. Or cheat your child and take his/her money. Or forget to bring your order. But they smile, always. The Zazibar is the place you have to visit, but stay out of this hotel!!!

beautiful garden with a great garden view but no real sea view. & Shannon! e.g. all the mattresses on the sun loungers were torn you can see at every corner that it has come down. we can't understand the good ratings, we saw no really happy faces from the hotel guests during our stay (the food is bad, the facility has seen better years, etc) in short: the quality was poor to insufficient all in all upscale lower class with nice staff. absolutely no recommendation for a dream vacation!
