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 #### Vikas Aug 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful boutique property. Great beach. Good food choices. Full board worked out well. Very friendly manager and staff. We had late checkout till 2:30 PM as room was empty next day. ##### Vikas ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florian Jul 26, 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kyrah Oct 4, 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 Feb 28, 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 Aug 19, 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 #### Line Hausner Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Line Hausner Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley Aug 3, 2024 ##### Shelley Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andréas Aug 3, 2024 ##### Andréas Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dwanita Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Dwanita Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Odinn Mar 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold hos Michamvi Sunset Bay. Personalet er enestående og gjør sitt ypperste for å gi deg best mulig service og sikre deg et godt opphold. Du føler deg ivaretatt og at personalet oppriktig bryr seg om deg. Maten var god og selve plassen er svært vakker. Anbefales på det sterkeste. ##### Odinn Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrik Sep 28, 2023 ##### Patrik Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald Cameron Mar 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Donald Cameron Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabrice Jun 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sunset beach dream hotel Great hotel, fantastic staff and gorgeous location: not to be missed, warmly recommended. ![A view from above](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C77DA773620E5971B66023E21C4843A7B8F4345E1655140699554.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Right on the beach, facing sunset](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49C5D72CF27DD91B8AC31667563CD8A27F4BD53A1655140713447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55753EF93DDC63754564528F2EC0BC5D1AC324FC1655140670989.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/692B796EC97231FC67B5557866527C565BBD19C61655140671420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Fabrice Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 1, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Good boutique hotel It a small hotel and staff all friendly. 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 Jan 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Trevligt hotell vid/på stranden. Ganska lugnt läge så man är mycket på hotellet. Bra managers med bra koll. Ok internet lite svajigt. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jan 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place-Nice Staff, Beautiful beach and sundown We had our christmas holiday at Michamvi this year, and we are so happy that we did. 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 Nov 20, 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [Wingate by Wyndham - Edmonton West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Edmonton-West.h910811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Fantasia-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h15466753.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Prince George](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-George-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d4125-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pittsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels.d601717.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waring House](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-The-Waring-House.h3079957.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Jet Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/Jet-Airways-Flights.c9W.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Algiers (ALG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/alg/montreal-to-algiers) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Churchill (YYQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyq/toronto-to-churchill) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Los Angeles (ONT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ont/calgary-to-ontario) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises from Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-from-Vancouver.d178315.Cruise-Departure-Port) > > [Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Caribbean-International-Anthem-Of-The-Seas.cRC-sAN.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Europe Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Europe.d6022967.Destination-Travel-Guides)
