Di solito non scrivo recensioni ma questo albergo se la merita proprio. Il posto è meraviglioso sembra di stare in una cartolina, tramonti surreali sul oceano proprio di fronte al hotel. Spiaggia ampia e tenuta pulita con un mare da sogno. Hotel molto pulito e curato, in una zona veramente silenziosa e non troppi beach boys. LA CAMERA: - molto spaziosa - letto con la zanzariera distanziata (cosa che ho apprezzato tantissimo perché in questo modo non dava l'effetto claustrofobico) - frigo in camera (molto utile per tenere l'acqua al fresco) - bagno pulitissimo con doccia walk in e finestra - ogni giorno l'albergo ti fa trovare gratuitamente una bottiglia di acqua minerale da 1.5L (gesto veramente apprezzato soprattutto perché a Zanzibar non è possibile bere l'acqua del rubinetto, essendo un paese povero) - Nel bagno è presente un utilissimo spray antizanzare per ambienti che può essere spruzzato quando si vuole e che applica sempre l'housekeeping ogni mattina dopo aver pulito e ogni sera dopo averti preparato il letto e la zanzariera per poter riposare (a meno che tu le chieda di non farlo) -Servizio lavanderia super veloce (la mattina lasciavamo i capi da lavare e la sera erano già pronti) PISCINA: Piccolina ma molto pulita, e area piscina con divanetti e sdraio SPIAGGIA: -Tenuta sempre pulita - lettini (qua come in piscina) con materassino super morbido che permettevano il massimo relax -qualche beach boy ma assolutamente non molti rispetto ad altre zone più a nord RISTORANTE: Alternano cene buffet con cene con il menu alla carta, e ogni sera cambiano luogo della cena a rotazione tra ristorante vista mare, spiaggia, giardino e piscina, tutte a lume di candela che rendono l'ambiente ultra rilassante. Per il buffet puntano molto di più alla qualità del cibo piuttosto che alla quantità per evitare sprechi e garantire che il cibo sia sempre buono e fresco per il cliente. Personale MOLTO cortese e disponibile. La manager, Shirley, passava ogni mattina e ogni sera ad assicurarsi personalmente che il cibo fosse di nostro gradimento e che la vacanza stesse procedendo al meglio La Reception non è aperta h24 ma lasciano i numeri di telefono da utilizzare per le emergenze o in caso di necessità. L'unico difetto è la strada che porta al albergo. Essendo sterrata, c'è il rischio che si crei del fango dopo la pioggia creando un po di difficoltà nel raggiungere l'albergo.

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.

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.

Struttura piccola, incantevole e riservata. Non adatta a chi cerca confusione e vita mondana. Curata nei minimi dettagli, tre volte al giorno pulizia delle camere, cucina OTTIMA con prodotti locali e sempre freschi, dimenticatevi la pasta (che è disponibile comunque per i bambini!). Accoglienza e gentilezza da parte di tutto lo staff. Complimenti davvero, torneremo sicuramente.

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.
