We had the most wonderful holiday ever. It felt like a life experience. The quality of the hotel is very good. Beautiful location, delicious food, entertainment of high quality in the evening but most of all such friendly and professional staff everywhere. They really made us feel so welcome. One evening my husband had arranged with the staff a special romantic dinner on the beach. It was spectacular. Full moon, a delicious seafood menu, beautifully decorated and at the end all the staff came singing and dancing to our table with a delicious cake. Such a special and beautiful memory. We will go back for sure. It felt like coming home ❤️ Thanks to the whole staff for this holiday experience.

I stayed at the Sultan Sands hotel twice, the first time in January 2024 and the second time I returned with friends in January 2025. After arriving at the hotel from the airport, the first person who saw me during check-in was Berta from the hotel reception. This meeting was the most memorable for me! The meeting with Berta again was very nice and full of emotions. Berta remembered my face from the previous year and welcomed me very nicely. Berta is always smiling, cordial and helpful. I would like to extend my warmest regards to all the hotel employees, especially Berta, with whom I was very moved to meet her again. Asante sana my dear Berta for your professionalism and beautifull smiling for all tourists!!!! Sultan Sands Island Resort is located right next to a phenomenal beach with soft, white sand and turquoise ocean. The hotel is located on the eastern coast of Zanzibar, in the Kiwengwa area, adjacent to the Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa. The hotel is located directly on the beach, with free umbrellas, sun loungers, mattresses and towels. Here you can observe the amazing phenomenon of large ocean tides. I recommend this place primarily to people looking for beautiful views and those who like sunbathing and active recreation. There are swimming pools, a paddling pool for children, and a volleyball court in the sister facility. One part of the hotel is intended only for adults. The hotel offers very tasty and varied meals as part of All Inclusive. Also worth mentioning is the very helpful and friendly hotel staff, from the cleaning ladies, to waiters, reception staff, cooks, animators and gardeners. Each of them is always smiling and friendly.

The atmosphere is amazing, waiters are friendly and the Manager(Kevin) made sure we were comfortable 10/10 experience overall. African friendly so I urge all Africams to check it out. We truly enjoyed our stay would do it again. Hotel rooms clean too.

Good hotel with direct access to the beach. Cozy, clean rooms with A/C and everything you need after the end of a journey around Tanzania. I stayed here for three nights after a safari and a visit of Stone Town. Only downside: some locals bother the tourists on the beach trying to sell boating or snorkeling tours or souvenirs. Luckily the beach is guarded. Also: watch out for the tides. They can surprise you during a walk.

This Hotel is not good at all, the pictures look good, but the Hotel is 25years old. The rooms are bad shape. In our room no air conditioning for 3 days. Just horrible. The personal try to be kind as long as you give them tips. Even if you choose All Inclusive still all drinks and even coffee needs extra payment. Just lunch is included and local beer/wine. They hit it all when checkout, only USD payment is possible Pos or cash, but their exchange rates is 15-20% above the official TZS exchange wich leads to increasing of cost up to 20%. When trying to pay in TZS they kept us at receptions till we nearly lost our flight home so we was forced to pay the high bill. Overall we didn’t have good experience with this hotel and we do jot recommend this hotel. Michael
