Michamvi Sunset Bay

Absolut fantastic small and very lokal hotel. The service is outstanding. Good food, top cleaning, and very nice and polite manager end hotelteam. Absolut relaxing and far from disturbing issues, so you have to accept transportation for speciel expierences.

Everything is absolut fantastic. The rooms, the food and the personel. The only thing which isnt about the hotel, is the tidewater and you have to spend a lot of dollars if you want to see something because the hotel is far from everything. We came to relax and had a really Great time

Heaven on Earth! We just left after out second visit and this place is absolutely magical. It is very small, but it still feels like you have many options to choose from. From hanging out in the magical beach bar to lying by the beautiful pool or exploring the water on the paddle boards. Each night a new location is chosen for dinner and this really helps create variety and make each experience unique. There is the most magical sunset every night that we never get tired off. But what we love the most is the people. Huge thank you to Shirley for always making us safe and happy, and to the whole staff. We will definitely be back again!

Michamvi is beautiful and a great option for those spending time in Zanzibar. It's cut off and not a commercial part of the island. Sunset Bay is located on a beautiful stretch of the beach but we were left wanting for more with the experience. It's a small family run property but there are just too many rules that I would not expect while on holiday. No room service. Fixed dinner menu with no flexibility. Rigid timings. They would not even serve starters at the bar. You have to walk over to the restaurant. Shower did not work properly. AC did not work for our 4 day stay despite multiple follow ups. Very high currency conversion rates while signing off the final bill compared to rates we got in other parts of the island. Properties coming up on either side of this place. Location is great. Might be better options to look at.

this extraordinary place offers not only a wonderful setting but also unparalleled service from a team dedicated to excellence. The commitment to maintaining a remarkably high level of cleanliness is evident, ensuring a pristine environment for guests to relish. Every corner of this haven is adorned with breathtaking views, creating a captivating panorama that enhances the overall experience. From the warm reception to the meticulous attention to detail, the exceptional service resonates throughout, making every moment truly memorable. In this haven of tranquility, the fantastic views become a symphony to the senses, elevating the stay to a level of pure delight.

I rarely write reviews but felt this small hotel really deserved one. We had a wonderful and very peaceful time at Michamvi Sunset Bay. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. The Manager Shirley Bowmaker- Falconer was the perfect host; the atmosphere was as a rather sophisticated guest house - we really felt at home. The food was really super - a mixture of traditional Swahili recipes and European dishes, good wine too. It was clearly the best hotel on the beach! We could not fault this place and will definitely be back with loved ones.

We really enjoyed our experience there, there is a pool, a beach, you can discover tasty food from Zanzibar at the resort restaurant. You can even book a snorkelling trip from the reception and see a massive variety of underwater species. The staff is very friendly and when there is a storm that makes everyone panic, the staff remains calm and tell people not to stress… There is also a bar where you can order drinks and enjoy the sunset on the deck chairs at the beach. However, beds for kids aren’t that comfortable compared to the big adult beds.

Stayed briefly at Michamwi Sunset Bay and wished it would have been longer. The property itself is very neat and well maintained with a nice garden, pool area and a fantastic beach. The rooms are newly renovated of ample sizing and has all the comforts needed. We stayed on the ground floor and the private patio is a nice sanctuary and offers perfect access to the pool and other facilities - especially good when traveling with kids! Restaurant and bar areas are nicely decorated with a very intimate setting, making it easy to make oneself at home. Everything above encounters for a restful stay but the true asset of Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort is the warmth and personalized service provided by the staff. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a smile and the genuine care that is shown is outstanding. Unfortunately we had to shorten our stay due to a medical condition and the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful and assisted in every possible way. Hoping to be able to return next year.

We are on our way home after spending an amazing week at Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort, and we already miss the lovely staff, the beautiful surroundings, the garden, the view and the fantastic food. What a place!!! We would definitely chose it again.
