I visited the Sultan Sands Island Resort Hotel for the third time. The hotel is in a beautiful location, with a white beach and a wonderful garden. The accommodation is beautiful, clean. The food is excellent, varied, always fresh. The staff is caring and very kind. The manager Mr. Dass Bangar takes great care of all the guests. He cares about the satisfaction of the guests. Thanks to him, this was our most beautiful vacation we have ever been on. We will definitely come back here. Thank you M&G

Great hotel with an excellent location right on the beach. The whole team of staff here are exceptional - super friendly and helpful. Kevin, the Resort Manager, leads from the front and is out and about checking in with guests on a daily basis, and his team follow his lead. Special thanks to Abdul for making sure my Zoom calls all went to plan and to Mohammed for teaching us to play Bao! The food and drink was great too, but the options were limited.

We have stayed in many hotels during our travels. However, Sultan Sands is a wonderful hotel and one of the best that we have ever stayed in. Why? The hotel is located in a fantastic part of Zanzibar, with a sea that is constantly changing colour and with beautiful sands. The hotel buildings have been constructed with empathy and care to reflect the environment and country in which it is located. The food is of a high quality and well cooked. Although there is not a large choice of dishes. There is always something for everyone and staff are always willing to meet individuals' requirements. The rooms are clean and well serviced with Housekeeping on hand to meet guests' needs if further services are required. However, it is the staff that make Sultan Sands such a good hotel. From management to cleaners everyone is smiley and happy and extremely pleased to serve you with anything that you ask of them. The hotel management are visible at all times to ensure that the highest of service standards are met and to fulfil any additional guest requests. We would go back to Sultan Sands tomorrow if we could. If we are fortunate enough to be able to return to Zanzibar in the future, we will not even consider alternative hotels on this fantastic island.

I had the BEST time staying at the Sultan Sands resort! From beginning to end my experience was truly amazing! I am a solo traveler but I din't feel alone for one moment. The staff is so incredibly friendly and they really made me feel so welcome at the resort and well taken care off. I had a Pwani Room, which was very spacious (even if I wouldn't have been by myself) with a minibar a TV and a little living room area + balcony! The room was always kept very clean, with fresh water & towels every day. And a nice turndown service every evening. The hotel is right at the beach and has loads of (water activities) privacy you need when you're at the beach. What made my experience so much better though, was the care of the hotel manager Kevin. He was truly amazing in helping me plan my itinerary, helping me arrange trips, booking taxi's. He always made sure to have a nice chat with me on a daily basis and it really adds to a great vs good experience, especially when you're traveling solo. I can go on and on about how excellent my stay was, but in short it was AMAZING!

The service at sultan sands was excellent from start to finish, everybody was always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed. The beach had security so was safe. The food was always varied and flavourful. The room looked beautiful and they even came in at night to close my curtains and get my bed ready for sleeping, such a nice touch! I need to eat gluten free and every meal time the manager found me and told me exactly what was safe for me to eat. They even made things especially for me in the kitchen separately. They also made gluten free cakes and bread!! I honestly wish I had longer here and I was so sad to leave. I can’t recommend it enough and especially if you need to eat gluten free as it can be difficult! They also made me a packed lunch for my journey home they had great entertainment nightly too
