Location, location, location! We consider that Sandies Baobab has the best beach in Nungwi, always impeccable clean, perfect spot for pictures and sunset. The property overall is extremely well maintained, at every corner you see at all times some employees working on something, the huge baobab trees are a big plus, the staff is very well trained, friendly, smiling at all times. On Saturdays, they organize a nice dinner on the beach, which we strongly recommend, the atmosphere is very romantic. The security is always on point which makes you feel safe. The food is ok, you have choices.

Every night from 21:30 until 22:30 or later there was an entertainment program at the bar/ pool area which was quite noisy considering our room was close to the it, we don’t complain about it as we liked the location of our garden room, but for some might be disturbing.

beautiful clean resort. Superior rooms are magical. The resort is very well taken care of, cleaning and care can be seen everywhere. Beautiful beach. We had All inclusive and everything we tasted was excellent. Alcoholic drinks are available from 6 p.m., beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day.

Great location and great staff. Food was good

WiFi could be improved. Had to walk to the pool bar every time i wanted a drink - service at the beach would increase comfort.

The location is in really a good spot offering you easy access to go explore down or up the beach and choose somewhere for alternative food & drink. The tide doesn’t effect too much so you can walk and go out to see. Most evenings locals will swim or gather to the beach next to the main entrance which is nice to see but all is safe with security and they are busy in their own communities. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice. Abass the waiter was very attentive, always smiling and very friendly. A great asset to the hotel! Reception staff were great and helpful, my room was beautiful and cleaned very well. overall a great stay and happy I moved from a different hotel previously!!

Being a solo traveller not once the entertainment team told me when activities were. It was very much based on the Italian or Polish groups. Not necessarily a negative but I’d realise the activity has already started and then couldn’t join.

We loved the location, right on one of the most pristine beaches I've ever seen. Daily room cleaning, nice pool and most of all - the attitude of the staff was above average. They let us stay in the room after official check out as my daughter was sick. Also there was awesome resort doctor Edina which was a real angel when my daughter got fever, she helped us a lot.

I saw one of the managers treating his employees in a not very friendly manner during the breakfast, perhaps something to reflect on a bit.

The best thing about this property is its location on the beautiful beach and the beach was not crowded. The sea was also excellent, you can always swim, also great for children. The property was clean, the garden was nice, the baobabs were charming, staff, and security kind to us. The food and drinks were tasty but nothing special, the kids did not eat much. All together, it was an enjoyable stay.

The main value here comes from the location and beauty of the beach. But that's the way it is. Family rooms are older, but spacious with 2 showers. Airocn was sufficient. I would say it is a bit overpriced hotel.

The location was amazing, right on a very beautiful beach which felt very private, but you could still walk along the beach to reach the busier more lively parts of Nungwi beach. The staff were amazing, very friendly and made me feel at home. The best part about this hotel was by far its location on the beach.

The rooms felt quite basic and run down, I feel they need to be renovated. They didn't have a 4* feel. The bathroom mirror in my room was very rusty and the showers need to be upgraded, they look quite old. No fridge, no coffee/tea provided in rooms, no iron and no TV in the rooms which is usually standard for any other 4* hotel that I've stayed at. Breakfast was average and lacked variety, there was very little options available, I was eating the same breakfast every day. The best way to access anything is via the beach, but from the roads the hotel isn't really close to anything. Luckily I rented a car so it was easy for me to get around.

Everything! This hotel was absolutely perfect. My partner and I had the most incredible time. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. At dinner times, the waiting staff, particularly Gift, were all so friendly and hospitable. At every meal the service was fantastic and all staff were hospitable. The food was also INCREDIBLE! Furthermore, the entertainment and bar staff were wonderful. Juma, Jovin, and Ali all spent a great deal of time getting to know the guests and were all exceptionally cheerful. Hosting activities and entertaining guests, these team members were great fun to be around. Additionally, these rooms were amazing - the decor was lovely and they were cleaned to an excellent standard. We always felt extremely safe, which allowed us to fully relax and unwind. Throughout our time at Sandies, we always felt exceptionally safe. The landscaping was really lovely. I cannot stress how fantastic our stay was. thank you to all of the wonderful staff who made our trip so special.

On the whole, this property was amazing, the Wifi did occasionally run a little slow, but it was no big deal.
