Very comfortable Staff is so friendly and saw to our every need. Only problem is it is far to drive to other parts of the island from-which we knew but it does make it difficult to explore. Also would be nice if they had some type of opportunity for food other than the set hours for breakfast lunch and dinner. Other than that it’s a beautiful place and would highly recommend ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florian 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The moment we arrived at michamvi sunset bay resort we knew that we would have great and relaxing time there. It is a beautiful place and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the trip and made us feel at home. The room was very clean and comfortable and offered a nice view of the garden/pool area and the bay. The beach in front of the hotel was cleaned every morning (like the rest of the hotel). Due to a celiacs disease my wife needs a strictly glutenfree diet, and the kitchen crew at the hotel went all-in in providing safe and delicious options. They cooked the glutenfree food seperately from the rest, tried new recipies for bread, and the carrot-cake was perfect as well. We definetely recommend michamvi sunset bay resort and will come back the next time we come to zansibar. ##### Florian Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Great beach, and activities around the hotel.

Food is lovely and the staff smiling and helpful at all times. The new bathrooms are great. ##### Kathrine Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kyrah 4 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness The property is just basic. However, very relaxing! I witnessed some very unsanitary things happening with food and utensils. That turned me off and honestly, I was counting down till my departure within 2 hours of being on the property. They do not do anything to protect the food and they stick a wild cat in the cabinets that they store the silverware. This particular cat had all sorts of cuts around his neck and head, The thought of a cat let alone a wild cat in his condition being mixed closed into a cabinet where they were storing silverware for the guest is appalling! There was a limited terrible breakfast offered. However, after seeing the cat being stored with the utensils, eating was the farthest thing from my mind! The plus the owner/manager was really sweet. The rest of the staff was just okay. ##### Kyrah Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian 28 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed a wonderful week at Sunset Bay as a family following a safari. The resort is superbly designed, full of palm trees and greenery and is also the only one in the area to have a seamless transition to the white beach. There are always plenty of sun loungers and due to the relatively small number of rooms, there is always a very relaxed atmosphere. Really unique makes the resort the entire team. All the staff, without exception, are very friendly and professional. The manager Shirley is fantastic. Always approachable, helpful with literally every question and inquiry and as a guest you feel very quickly like at home. The food was excellent. A very wide range of dishes from all over the world, served every evening in a different place (On the beach,at the pool or in the restaurant). The kitchen staff is great and for us it was especially helpful, that our daughter that suffers from the celiac disease, has prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner excellent gluten free dishes for her. And unlike other places that claim to cook gluten-free, at Sunset Bay there was a real understanding of the requirements that gluten-free dishes entail. That all four of us were then able to enjoy for a week the great food with lots of variety was a great relief. If you are looking for a lot of "action", you will probably find it more in big hotels and resorts. However, we can't think of a better place to relax and enjoy the sun, sea and local cuisine and hospitality. ##### Christian Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschöne Anlage mit sehr netten Personal. Unser Zimmer roch etwas muffig und feucht, aber ansonsten war alles top sauber. Das Essen war gerade zum Abendessen sehr gut, zum Frühstück hätten wir uns etwas mehr Abwechslung gewünscht. Ebenso etwas längere Zeiten zum Frühstücken. Bisher von 7-9Uhr. Kajaks und SUPs kostenfrei zur Verfügung mit denen man z.B. bis in die Mangroven fahren kann. Einsam, verwunschen. Wunderschön. Weniger schön ist, dass rechts und links vom Hotel wahnsinnig viel gebaut wird. Der bisher so einsame Ort wird bald überlaufen sein. Schön, dass wir ihn noch so einigermaßen unberührt erleben durften. ##### Kristina Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Odinn 3 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold hos Michamvi Sunset Bay.

It may not be for everyone it depends what you like. The pool was clean. The rooms ok, nothing to write home about. Bathroom dirty tiles and in the corners of floor. All in all we had a great time. Food varied but you need to choose what you want for the evening meal at breakfast in the morning. There is a choice of 3 starters, main and dessert. Sometimes there was nothing I liked but they can tweak it if you ask. The beach has a lot of rubbish and seaweed and is tidal so cannot always swim. When tide is in the sea is like a bath, so warm. We would recommend this if you are not setting your standards too high. Also good idea to book half board as only the rock restaurant as alternative and you will either need to walk or get a cab. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenny 6 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Trevligt hotell vid/på stranden.

With only 20 rooms this place is just so chill and nice. The location overviewing Zanzibar island, but also the beautiful sundown over both the Island and ocean. Thank you to all the staff, but a special thanks to Shirley who went that extra step to make us even more appreciated as guests... :o) ##### Michael Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger 20 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Overall a nice stay!

A great small little hotel, if looking for a place where to relax you found your place, not much to do more than doing nothing. Pictures on Hotels.com are genuine, great management as well as staff. The only thing that travelers must be aware of it that the tide is clearly not to be neglected, bring reef shoes. If looking for more action it’s just a seven minutes walk and you find a hip beach bar where you also can rent jet skis for example. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/04D7FBD3B70160E9920B5BCBF07B577E09B8C8D91583414913135.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6542563353D8B647DFC2B73943FEA74F495085E11583414906825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10FD740539F2C405C6DCAAF5E27FC73CACAC67B31583414907340.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5CEC31620C43C9EE7C97E61244FA68169E4044CE1583414906933.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### mathias Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 5 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gemytlig resort En gemytlig, vacker resort med härlig atomosfär och personligt bemötande. Michamvi på den östra sidan av Zanzibar är mycket lugnare än de exploaterade delarna i nordväst. Stränderna i Michamvi är vackra, men tidvattnet är påtagligt - så poolen fyller en viktig funktion mitt på dagen. Vi trivdes väldigt bra här, hela familjen. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Meget roligt sted.

Der var en rolig og behagelig stemning, da hotellet ikke er for stort og dermed et fint antal gæster. Sødt personale som er meget hjælpsomme, dejlig mad og virkelig smukke omgivelser. Hver dag så vi solnedgangen fra stranden eller hotellets Sunset bar, dermed ligger hotellet perfekt. Stranden er virkelig skøn (sand så blødt som mel), trods meget lavvande nogle timer hver dag hvor vi ikke kunne bade i havet, men så hoppede vi bare i poolen. De varmeste anbefalinger herfra hvis du ønsker afslapning, ro, sol, badning og at koble helt fra. Vær dog opmærksom på at der ikke er meget at lave (ture kan bestilles via hotellet) og at der ikke findes indkøbsmuligheder tæt på hotellet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6BBC9E9BEEEE4B4F1CD9716AF9264C6E52396FE01573500284846.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B64D67713E8BF926ADE148850EAD957F65C385611573500284916.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1380F9B2D97ADA22A70A50FD99B03F7EFCFFAEBF1573500284999.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AA76D2DADE49DAF84FAD56DCBB62BC857E46FF8D1573500284805.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karina Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > > [Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Baraza-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h10042688.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > > [Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Fruit-Spice-Wellness-Resort-Zanzibar.h9851631.Hotel-Information) > > [Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Zawadi-Hotel-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h14801376.Hotel-Information) > > [Kena Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Kena-Beach-Hotel.h4544228.Hotel-Information) > > [Filao Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chwaka-Hotels-Filao-Beach-Zanzibar.h26830985.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > > [Aluna Paje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Aluna-Paje.h61490430.Hotel-Information) > > [ Safaya Luxury Villas (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Safaya-Luxury-Villas.h91433919.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Ocean-Paradise-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h4235502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-The-Palms-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h10041347.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Passion Boutique Hotel Zanzibar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Passion-Boutique-Hotel-Zanzibar.h60284612.Hotel-Information) > > [Reef & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Reef-Beach-Resort.h6643793.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Uroa Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Uroa-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5448275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Toa-Hotel-Spa.h75012943.Hotel-Information)
