A wonderful little gem with great staff
We had an absolutely amazing time here. The hotel and grounds are spotless. The staff are very friendly and it is situated in beautiful location with a stunning beach on site. I would highly recommend staying here!

Services could be improved
Our premium room was very nice, clean and fresh, if possible, try to get a room nearby the ocean. The services was actually not so good in the restaurant or at the bar. The cleaningness was not so good eighter and all this is probably due to lack of staff. Otherwise the hotel is located perfect just a couple of meters from the beach.

Loved the resort. We stayed in the Beach Junior Suite which was very close to the beach. The room is large and quite with a great bed and shower. The resorts grounds are well kept. The dining area is right on the water with fantastic views and accommodating staff. The food can be better, but that was our experience in all of Tanzania so can't fault this resort for it.

Amazing White Sand Beach Resort
Excellent property with private beach access to white sands at Nungwi. The rooms are also top notch, lot of greenery and baobab trees on the property. The in house restaurant offers delicious food with options from multiple international cuisines. Sandies Baobab is a perfect location for people looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

Wonderfull site on the Nungwy beach, no weeds, little tide, you can swim at all times. Superior rooms are large and comfortable, big shower, fridge, no TV. Garden rooms are simple. Very good food, buffet. A little bit of animation. Personnel at the restaurant and bar are very kind.

Beautiful beach. Great service. All staff helpful and have a big smile. Some wifi issues and power went out a few times but all manageable. Food is good, but not great buffet style.

4/10 Fair

Mid at best
It was subpar. I was charged a deposit of $55 prior til arrival, and remaining balance to be paid at desk. Desk charged me for the total amount instead of remaining balance.

10/10 Exceptional

Well preserved property features with regulated air-conditioned rooms. Friendly staff and highly motivated crews for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only downside is absence of a discount when purchasing alcoholic beverages by the bottle.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

Everything was amazing, the staffs are really nice and friendly, just they have to do something about the mosquitoes. There were so many!
Simeona, 6-night trip

Wonderful stay!
An amazing hotel with superb access to the beach. Staff is super kind and helpful. It does however attract quite snobbish ppl from all over the world that didn’t seem to understand how I (as a black man) could stay at such a nice property. Didn’t allow it to bother me but it was very noticeable. Just be mindful of this if you are a person of color visiting this property!

Nungwi -on the beach.
Great location and really nice, modern & clean rooms and facilities - we stayed in a superior category. Recommended - but do expect Wi-Fi to be less stable & fast.
Jesper, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is amazing but the food was below my expectation. We've been to a few other places and it was so delicious but in the hotel it's tasteless.
Alina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Sandies is a great resort! From your first encounter with Joyce, one knows the stay will be a pleasure. Great Wi-Fi with booster. Manicured landscape. Very SAFE! AWESOME fees from the beach front dinning facility with friendly staff. We stay in a bungalow with no Neighbours around except for one side. Great rain shower. My wife and will definitely come back!
Anna, 15-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good resort in a good location
Good resort in a very good location. The sun bed "reservation' system is a nightmare. You need to place your towels early in the morning to have a chair and more than half of the beds are not used during the day. Must be changed. The buffet is good (if you like that concept). Saturday night beach barbeque with fish and shellfish highly recommended. Good big rooms (stayed in a deluxe room).
