Loved the resort. We stayed in the Beach Junior Suite which was very close to the beach. The room is large and quite with a great bed and shower. The resorts grounds are well kept. The dining area is right on the water with fantastic views and accommodating staff. The food can be better, but that was our experience in all of Tanzania so can't fault this resort for it.

Amazing White Sand Beach Resort
Excellent property with private beach access to white sands at Nungwi. The rooms are also top notch, lot of greenery and baobab trees on the property. The in house restaurant offers delicious food with options from multiple international cuisines. Sandies Baobab is a perfect location for people looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

Wonderfull site on the Nungwy beach, no weeds, little tide, you can swim at all times. Superior rooms are large and comfortable, big shower, fridge, no TV. Garden rooms are simple. Very good food, buffet. A little bit of animation. Personnel at the restaurant and bar are very kind.

Nice hotel, reasonable price. Great rooms, air con great, kept very well. Nice pool and beach areas. Small beach on hotel with sea view so no sellers can approach. Can walk along beach to markets and great places like sexy fish. Had buffet one night - average. Much nicer eating out. Breakfast okay, not great. Wonderful beaches just gorgeous.

Wonderful stay!
An amazing hotel with superb access to the beach. Staff is super kind and helpful. It does however attract quite snobbish ppl from all over the world that didn’t seem to understand how I (as a black man) could stay at such a nice property. Didn’t allow it to bother me but it was very noticeable. Just be mindful of this if you are a person of color visiting this property!

Sandies is a great resort! From your first encounter with Joyce, one knows the stay will be a pleasure. Great Wi-Fi with booster. Manicured landscape. Very SAFE! AWESOME fees from the beach front dinning facility with friendly staff. We stay in a bungalow with no Neighbours around except for one side. Great rain shower. My wife and will definitely come back!

Not bad but not great place to stay in Zanzibar
Hotel is nice and it has a beautiful beach but the maids are very rude . They ask you to come out of your room to clean and when I came back 1 1/2 hour late the room was not even touched, they forget about you . For the high price I paid I expect better customer service . The food wasn’t bad but it was good either , very average . I think there is better places you can find for your money .

Good resort in a good location
Good resort in a very good location. The sun bed "reservation' system is a nightmare. You need to place your towels early in the morning to have a chair and more than half of the beds are not used during the day. Must be changed. The buffet is good (if you like that concept). Saturday night beach barbeque with fish and shellfish highly recommended. Good big rooms (stayed in a deluxe room).
