Het is een heel rustig strand. Vriendelijke bediening. Koste wel wat (voor Zanzibar) (9 dollar zie foto). Maar heel chill plekje. We hebben er voor gesnorkeld bij the blue lagoon dat is ook echt eeen aanraden om is te doen. Prachtige vissen in veel kleuren

Nach 2 Wochen Safari im Zelt in Tansania haben wir uns noch eine Woche Entspannung im Sands Beach Resort gegönnt. Es war ein wundervoller Aufenthalt, besonders der Service und die Freundlichkeit in allen Bereichen ist hervorzuheben. Alles sauber, lecker Essen, freundliche und engagierte Barkeeper, der Garten gepflegt, Blick aus dem Bett auf den weißen Sandstrand und türkisblaues Meer, was will man mehr! Und auch das Buchen von Tagesausflügen über die Rezeption ging schnell und unkompliziert. Wenn wir mal wieder nach Sansibar gehen, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder!

October 2024 Exceptional "Boutique Resort", located in a tropical colorful garden front side of the Ocean; the rooms are independent large bungalows/villas, provided with any comfort you may need in such a wild paradise; the cuisine is fine and generous, served with rich buffet and the best grilled fish (catch of the day strictly) any night; all member of the staff (no one excluded) is professional, smiling, polite and effective on his own job. To come back asap! Elisa and Gaetano

We had a 4 night stay here in October 24 and cannot rate the hotel highly enough. The accommodation and entire site are all spotlessly clean and well maintained. The food at the restaurant was varied and high quality and the staff without exception are both professional and friendly. Excellent job guys.

We recently stayed at Sands Beach Resort in Zanzibar, and it was an incredible experience. The resort boasts stunning beachfront views, an amazing beach and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a perfect tropical paradise. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, with Ally the manager, ensuring that every need was met. Dining options were diverse and delicious, featuring daily fish and local flavors that truly captured the essence of Zanzibar. We truly appreciated our stay and highly recommend the Sands Beach resort!

At the first sight, I thought oh we made a mistake coming here but after we finally settled in, the place grew on us. Very peaceful place and the staff were very helpful especially the manager, the tall dark guy. The sunset here feels like you are on some sort of sci fiction movie and the birds chirping early in the morning makes it even more pleasant. The coconut trees even makes it more aesthetically appealing. In all we enjoyed our stay and currently missing our time at the sands
