Where do we even begin?! Just the most perfect peaceful place to stay on a very quiet part of the island. We had been on safari so were hoping for somewhere relaxing to chill out for the remainder of our trip, and Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort was beautiful. The beach bar is gorgeous and the drinks are all delicious - we took the cocktail tasting very seriously and definitely indulged! We loved the dinner location changing each night, and all the options on the menu were delicious and very fresh. All the staff are extremely friendly and do anything they can to help you. We both had massages and again, perfect and so relaxing. We did say that we have never been somewhere so clean, our room and the outside space were permanently immaculate. The list of possible excursions is long, and you can absolutely make it what you'd like to be, whether that is seeking hustle and bustle in Stone Town, snorkelling on reefs or day/sunset trips on a dhow - or just relaxing and enjoying paradise. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, and there were endless private places to relax across the hotel. We will absolutely be back!

Absolut fantastic small and very lokal hotel. The service is outstanding. Good food, top cleaning, and very nice and polite manager end hotelteam. Absolut relaxing and far from disturbing issues, so you have to accept transportation for speciel expierences.

Everything is absolut fantastic. The rooms, the food and the personel. The only thing which isnt about the hotel, is the tidewater and you have to spend a lot of dollars if you want to see something because the hotel is far from everything. We came to relax and had a really Great time

I rarely write reviews but felt this small hotel really deserved one. We had a wonderful and very peaceful time at Michamvi Sunset Bay. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. The Manager Shirley Bowmaker- Falconer was the perfect host; the atmosphere was as a rather sophisticated guest house - we really felt at home. The food was really super - a mixture of traditional Swahili recipes and European dishes, good wine too. It was clearly the best hotel on the beach! We could not fault this place and will definitely be back with loved ones.
