Traveller reviews
Anton “Fantastic hotel complex! Fantastic bungalows, the rooms are extremely comfortable and clean, a wonderful garden with poo”
24 Feb 2026
The Sands Beach Resort is secluded from the major tourist spots, which is exactly what we chose, making the location perfect for us! The hotel is simply wonderful! A very small hotel for about 40 guests with a dreamily large and beautiful garden area with a palm-lined pool and beach! The staff, from reception to the chef, waiters, chefs, and even the chambermaid, were incredibly friendly and helpful, and always in good spirits! The beach is equally stunning! The buffet breakfast and dinner were also exceptionally well-prepared. Many thanks to the Sands Beach team; we had a fantastic stay! We will definitely be back!
Ilkova “Amazing vacation at the best resort in Zanzibar with delicious food and the friendliest employees”
20 Jan 2026
We enjoyed our stay very much - everything from the food, to the beach and the staff. The resort has an amazing location with great view of the ocean, beautiful nature with all kinds of flowers, trees and fresh coconuts from the palm trees. The food is excellent, a big variety of different food each day and vegetarian options. The staff was extraordinary - they somehow always managed to find a great solution to all our questions, needs and requests and even managed to surprise us with the result. It was truly the best vacation we have ever been on - the atmosphere is relaxing, the food is amazing and everyone helps you have the best time. We would like to thank all the amazing and very friendly people we met, who work at the resort, for making our trip even more memorable and especially John for his everyday jokes, conversations and quality time spent with us. It was a pleasure for us and we hope to see you all again!
Laura “Paradise!”
03 Jan 2026
Everything was magical and completely faultless. The location is right on the beach front, villas are spacious with stunning views of the beautifully manicured gardens and of the sand and sea. The staff are just incredible - John in particular is wonderful. Everyone is joyful and friendly and could not do more to help. Food is absolutely delicious. The entertainment (Maasai, local bands, etc.) just adds to an already perfect place. Massage blissful. Day trips organised with ease. Absolutely faultless, it was a wrench to leave - we will be back. Thank you for everything.
Vlada “Nice boutique hotel”
31 Dec 2025
Very nice boutique hotel. Clean, spacious villas, beautiful surroundings, very beautiful beach area, nice beach bar, not a lot of people. Very nice, friendly and helpful personnel, special thanks to John who went out of his way to entertain us. Not very wide choice of foods at breakfast, but you can still find something to eat. Nice meals at lunch at dinner. Area was really quiet.
