We've been to Michamvi Sunset Bay twice- most recently we spent two weeks there over this past Christmas and New Years with a group of friends. I would find it very difficult to go anywhere else in Zanzibar! It truly has everything and beyond what I'd wish for. It's small enough that it doesn't have a commercial 'resorty' feel, and... More

Just got back from a week at the Michamvi Sunset Resort - AMAZING The staff were fantastic. The food was "interesting" but you still felt safe eating it. The accommodation was clean comfortable. The beer was cold and the sea was warm. What more coud you ask for. The guys were great at advising and sorting excursions anywhere on the... More

If you are looking for a large, impersonal resort this isn't for you. If you prefer a quaint boutique resort experience where the manager and his staff go out of their way to make a great holiday for you, look no further. We spent Dec 28, 2011 - Jan 1, 2012 at this great resort after our nine day safari.... More

Michamvi Sunset Bay is probably one of the best places I have ever been. The location is perfect, the staff are freindly, the food is great, the rooms are fantastic, and the owners/managers are legends! Infact, I didn’t actually want to write a review, as I'd prefer to keep this place a secret!! Even before we arrived, I was impressed.... More

Sunset Bay is a nice and small resort in a beautiful tropical setting’. It has a nice bar (no loud music), the rooms are spacious and clean. The food was nice, especially lunch and dinner. The beaches, situated directly in front of the resort, are “postcard” white. If you like you can walk safely for hours on the beaches without... More

The prefect place to unwind and forget your worries. The staff are friendly and helpful no matter how big or small the request. The hotel also offers great water activities like swimming with dolphins and good snorkeling. I stayed for 7 nights and wish I could of stayed longer! More

Fabulous staff and superb accommodation. Food was very good. Going the extra mile by Brad and his team was amazing. Beach was basically completely private. Facilities were remarkable. An awesome resort by far! More

The food was great at all times and they catered for everybody. The staff are all tremendous. It was our first... More

Brad and his team did an absolutely wonderful job. We arrived at Michamvi Beach Resort on 17 December 2011, and from the time we set foot at the hotel, we had amazing service. The rooms were very comfortable, and the meals very tasty. We were even lucky to have supper on the beach one night which was lovely! We hadnt... More
