Nice resort. Good food. Large rooms with nice showers and plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Security around the property made me feel safe. Beach is nice when the tide is out. Lots of lounge chairs available. Workers all over the property cleaning, raking, trimming the trees/bushes. Very well maintained public spaces.

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.

Our premium room was very nice, clean and fresh, if possible, try to get a room nearby the ocean. The services was actually not so good in the restaurant or at the bar. The cleaningness was not so good eighter and all this is probably due to lack of staff. Otherwise the hotel is located perfect just a couple of meters from the beach.

A Hotel Experience Like No Other I have travelled to many places and stayed at wonderful, luxurious hotels, but I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a hotel as much as this one. It is truly amazing in so many ways. The Soul of the Hotel – The Staff The best thing about the hotel is the staff—they are the soul of the place and make your stay unforgettable. Everyone is genuinely kind and interested in you, from the gardeners tending to the grounds to the chef, reception staff, and waiters. Their warmth and care are what truly set this resort apart. Specifically, I would like to thank the following staff for taking such wonderful care of us during our stay. All the staff members were incredibly kind, but we interacted the most with Osrida, Christina, Sarah, Odria, Ellen, Lydia, and Anna. They were kind, efficient, and made us feel like part of a family. Their attentiveness and friendliness added so much joy to our time at the resort. Breathtaking Setting and Beautiful Grounds The hotel is situated in a beautiful lagoon in Nungwi, with absolutely breathtaking beaches. A special touch: there’s a bench placed by the hotel for guests to sit and enjoy the staggeringly beautiful sunsets over the beach and pool area. The grounds feel like an oasis unto themselves. I ventured outside and looked at other nearby hotels, but none had the same lush, manicured greenery. It felt like living in a botanical garden, surrounded by birdsong. Truly a paradise.

Pros: -Beautiful resort and beach location -Comfortable rooms, safe property with lots of security around -Diverse food options -Friendly staff -lots of activities to participate in Cons: -beach is not private. Many locals will approach you daily to try to sell you things -no hot water in the shower -occasional power outages, but only lasts a few minutes

10/10

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.

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!

The location is amazing but the food was below my expectation. We've been to a few other places and it was so delicious but in the hotel it's tasteless.
