Sunshine Marine Lodge

Great rooms and facilities, very friendly and helpful staff. Professional dive center. Very nice restaurant vibe next to the pool area with views towards Mnemba Island. Varied high class food with changing menu lunch and dinner. Free yoga during the week.

Very nice and clean hotel. It is placed nicely into the local environment and is not simply a big box of concrete sitting on the beach. Roomy bungalows, well maintained paths, clean pool and restaurant area, friendly staff, free activities, direct access to the sea, shuttle service to another beach, nice food with daily changing specials. There is so much nice to be said about this hotel! And you still have the feeling of being in Zanzibar and just not anywhere, where the sun is hot in January - I have been around the island at different places and can compare. But there is still some downsides, which don't add up to subtract a star though. Sometimes there is a power outage for a few seconds or even a minute or too. This includes the free WiFi needing booting and being down for a very short amount of time. And also warm meals are not quite as warm as they are supposed to be - but still very delicious!

It’s a very beautiful place with excellent hospitality and so convenient for diving. The bungalows were spacious with a gorgeous view of the water. The landscaping is lush and they were very accommodating of everything we asked. Would definitely come back again.

Stayed as Sunshine Marine Lodge for 5 nights over Christmas in an ocean view room as a family of 3. What a fantastic place! The setting is incredible with beautiful garden surrounding the lodges, on the edge of a small cliff leading into crystal clear water. The food was great and catering for all and daily specials keeping the menu interesting. The staff were all wonderful right from the start and the added bonus of the dive center (equally outstanding) being on site. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

The property is amazing. Beautiful people, very clean resort, the restaurant is amazing. They also have in-house dive company - dive point and also in-house excursion manager who will brief you about all the tour packages and excursions that you can do. They will arrange private tour for you too. Overall was an amazing experience. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, nice rooms, the view is amazing, the restaurant has different options of food and in general is good, tour and Maybe may improve the transportation to/from the beach because for the return we had to wait to long for the driver. My husband and I had a very relaxing stay and enjoy a good massage in the spa.
