I liked the scale of the resort - it felt very select, personal and friendly. Lovely gardens, plenty of sun beds at the beach and sofas by the beach bar, with a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and lounge area in the evening. The food was amazing, especially the grilled fish. Ally (manager) was always present especially during dining and the staff were so welcoming. I loved the resort and hope to return.
Beatrice “Very good”
03 Aug 2024
The space. It is a very large property with not too many rooms. Always a free lounge chair on the first row. Very nice bar to have a bite of food or a drink seating watching the sea. The staff is very friendly and the guest manager Ali is super friendly as the rest of the staff.
Sarah “Excellent stay with amazing staff”

We loved our stay at Sands. The staff were all so friendly, Ally was so welcoming and corrected any issues instantly and made sure our stay was comfortable. The villas were clean, the beach beautiful and the food buffet style and plenty of choice. Would highly recommend.

Perfect service and extremely friendly! The food is also really good with a fish from the BBQ every night! On Fridays the have an African night with great music and food! To conclude: this is a must place to stay in Zanzibar!
Michał “Perfect beach stay”
17 Jul 2024
The Sands is rather small resort right on the beach. All rooms are in bungalows or villas. All surrounded by beautiful gardens. We had a huge two-bedroom villa with private pool and spectacular view on the ocean. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, separate kitchen, living room, terrace - plenty of space for our family of four. Beds pretty comfy. Decor rather simple, but honestly nothing to complain about. A/c working good. Cleaned during the day, plus evening turn-down service. We had breakfasts and dinner. Both delicious. Especially the dinner - we stayed three nights and every evening there was a fresh fish prepared right to your order. Delicious grill, but on our request chef also made us marlin and tuna carpaccios. Must try. Plenty of staff, always smiling and ready to help. We also liked the beach bar and their wonderful drinks. Especially fresh coconut pinacoladas.
Manuel “Amazing!”
25 Jun 2024
Staff are amazing, always ready to help, very friendly and funny! The food is awesome specially the fish (the carpaccio was unreal). The rooms are spacious and clean. The beach is beautiful and right at your door step and it has a massive swimming pool. Great resort!
