Perfect location in a quiet area Hotel is also really safe. Best location for the sunset! (picture below without filter) Water is always close (There is always a possibilty to swim at every time not like on east coast of Sansibar) We have only booked the room including breakfast and it was worth it. By walking 5-10 minutes on the beach there are plenty restaurants which all of them have good prices and good food. Stuff there is really friendly and de animateurs are also very helpful in any situation. breakast is ok, Every 2nd day you have the same.

Everybody is writing that there are securitys and they don´t let the beachboys to go to the hotel. Thats true! BUT!!! There is everyday the same beachboy who is giving money to the securitys that he can stay in front of the hotel on the beach! and he is really annoying. (picture below) Be careful if you book any tour with this guy! The guy is giving FAKE MONEY (fake dollars to customers), We also told this problem to the reception, but they don´t care about it. Prices are everywehre cheaper than at this guy! Securities will simply dump the rubbish into the sea (picture below) One other thing is that if you don´t book all inclusve, the stuff make the prices as they want. One day we paid 5$ for 1 beer, another day 3$ and so on. (Outside the hotel beer prices are arround 2,5$!)

Overall, we had a great stay at sandies baobab beach zanzibar Here are some of the things we liked most about the hotel: The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They spoke English fluently and were always happy to help us with anything we needed. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean and fresh. The views from the hotel were amazing. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. The hotel was located in a great location. It was close to all of the major attractions, and there were plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The only thing we didn't like about the hotel was the food: The food at the hotel was not bad, but it wasn't great either. We found that the menu was a bit limited, and the food was not always cooked to our liking.

Location, location, location! We consider that Sandies Baobab has the best beach in Nungwi, always impeccable clean, perfect spot for pictures and sunset. The property overall is extremely well maintained, at every corner you see at all times some employees working on something, the huge baobab trees are a big plus, the staff is very well trained, friendly, smiling at all times. On Saturdays, they organize a nice dinner on the beach, which we strongly recommend, the atmosphere is very romantic. The security is always on point which makes you feel safe. The food is ok, you have choices.

Every night from 21:30 until 22:30 or later there was an entertainment program at the bar/ pool area which was quite noisy considering our room was close to the it, we don’t complain about it as we liked the location of our garden room, but for some might be disturbing.

Absolutely fantastic location, amazing staff, delicious food and drinks, breathtaking views, and a beautiful beach! We stayed at Sandies Baobab Beach for two weeks, opting for the all-inclusive package, and everything was perfect. The all-inclusive option is absolutely worth it! The food was delicious with something new to try every day, and the variety was impressive. We especially loved the Saturday dinners on the beach. There’s also a wide selection of included cocktails, drinks, snacks, and fresh fruit. The rooms were impeccably clean, as were all the hotel’s facilities, which is so important. The private beach is stunning—easily the best beach in the area! The hotel felt very safe, with guards ensuring that non-hotel guests couldn’t enter, so we could leave our belongings on the sunbeds without worry while swimming. The staff were incredible—so kind and welcoming. They truly made us feel at home. We miss you all and will never forget this wonderful holiday! The hotel is also conveniently close to the Zanzibar Horse Club, Turtle Aquarium, Mnemba Island dolphin tours, jet skis, ATMs, and more. Asante Sana for everything, and Hakuna Matata!

There were a lot of people trying to approach you at the beach so a nice quiet romantic walk was nearly impossible :D but the hotel cannot do anything about this and it did not affect our experience negatively

Hotel Management is doing a great job by following up by themself all the time and checking guest needs, location on the beach is very prime, the facility is simple, unique, and clean. attention to the gust comfortability welcoming us, special thanks to Mr. Yasser the restaurant manager. the beach is clean and a lot of starfish at the clear water, sunset view is amassing from the hotel location.

the toilet doesn't have an ablution, as it was designed for western guests. beach is not private, you might find people from outside the resort using the same beach.

We stayed in a cottage and it was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast is good. Location is perfect, close to shops and restaurants. It's lovely to swim in the ocean right in front of the hotel. Staff is friendly and was always willing to help with our requests. There is some animation and music near the pool which we normally dont like but it didn't annoy us. Highly recommended!

We were happy we only had breakfast included because there are many good and cheaper restaurants around. We found all the extras like lunch and dinner buffet and laundry quite expensive. It would be nice to have a bedside lamp next to the bed. And if the backrest of all the loungers could go up and down, that would make it even better. But these are minor things ofcourse.

the hotel was on a large property with lush gardens and quaint cottages for rooms that allowed ample space for guests to still enjoy their vacation without being on top of each other. the common areas were also spacious and simply designed to allow the island to shine as naturally as possible. We had intially booked a room with one queen and one twin bed but since we arrived at the beginning of the season, the hotel wasn't as full so they gave us a small cottage closer to the beach that had one queen bed. We inquired about this and the reception was willing to switch us to a room with twin beds but those cottages were quite a distance from the beach and the room wasn't bigger. They advised us the room we booked wasn't available as of yet. As we were friends who were travelling, we had to make do sharing a queen bed but it wasn't too bad to share. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts were great. they also had staff who were entertainment people who facilitated evening activities that brought guests together for good times and connection. The beaches are pristine and naturally exquisite. There are several locals who make a living offering tourist excursions and will approach people for sales but a firm no will get them to enjoy your beach time peacefully. There are multiple local restaurants and bars along the beach where one can enjoy the local scene as well. We were two women friends and we felt safe to walk around the villages and the most that happened was locals saying a hello as we passed by. We walked through the villages for 20mins to the turtle sanctuary and back and no one bothered us. I love Zanzi, this was my third visit and I plan on being back soon. As a fellow East AFrican from Ethiopia, I feel safe and amongst my people in this stunning island.

if we had gotten the room we had originally booked which was the one with one queen and one twin bed as it was much more spacious in the pictures.
