Sandies Baobab Beach Zanzibar - All-Inclusive

What a fantastic hotel. From the second you arrive right up until the minute you leave everything is perfect. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the food served here is exceptional.

Family rooms are at the back of the resort and noise from the tavern in the local town is a major problem - loud music goes on all night This is a "work in progress" hotel and we didn't think it was 4*. Having said that, the location is fantastic with lovely beach and sea. Food is delicious and varied - plenty of seafood and attentive Chef always on hand. Staff are still being trained but are keen to please and always happy and smiling

This hotel is really well located at Nungwi beach. From the airport it does take over an hour to get there and there is some dirt roads but from doing tours this can’t be avoided. From checkin to checkout and everything in between the staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms were simple with a lovely bathroom with a double shower. As the hotel has not yet been completed it is missing a few things like a fridge and hair dryer. My one complaint about the room would be the bed sheets. They were not very soft and actually felt like they were scratching your skin. The buffet restaurant was great. Lots of options and really fresh. The ala crate portion is not yet open. The bar, pool and beach sun beads were all wonderful. The only improvement I could suggest is maybe drink service to people poolside, not that it’s that far to go to the bar and they will bring them to you. Also, coming from Australia where there are no smoking areas etc I would suggest this was implemented near the pool or on the sand beach chairs- whether it just be a small section or something. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. There is still construction/renovation going on but I doubt that will be forever. The staff just need to make the effort to tell you and apologise.
