Кратко: отличный отель в Nungwi, недалеко от океана и всех необходимых мест.
Пожалуйста, дочитайте до конца - вам возможно будет полезно, а нам приятно!
Это был наш последний (3-й) отель на Занзибаре, основная цель - спокойный отдых на океане. Выбором остались довольны.
РАСПОЛОЖЕНИЕ. Отель не на 1-й линии, но до океана идти около 5-ти минут пешком. Недалеко от отеля есть все необходимые места - рестораны, где можно вкусно поесть и посмотреть шоу, несколько разных пляжей, рынок с сувенирами и даже алкошоп). Рядом с отелем школа и стадион - довольно интересно наблюдать за местными жителями.
ОТЕЛЬ. Их 2 от одного хозяина, можно пользоваться инфрастуктурой обоих. Территория небольшая но уютно, ухожено и всё есть - бассейны, бары, рестораны.
НОМЕРА. Мы выбрали этот отель во многом из-за наличия большого семейного номера, где можно комфортно разместиться вчетвером. Наш выбор оправдался - номер из 2-х комнат, огромная лоджия, где вечером открывается красивый вид на подсвеченные бассейны и улицы. Минусы: номер слегка усталый, требует ремонта. Для аудио-чувствительных людей может быть испытание ночными звуками: кукарекание петуха, пение муэдзина, каркание ворон. Но это точно не претензия к отелю). Номер на 3-м этаже, лифта нет. В номере куча всяких подсветок и раздельных световых зон - удобно и красиво.
ПЕРСОНАЛ. Выше всяких похвал. Все очень любезны, помогают с любыми вопросами. Общались даже с владельцем отеля - очень приятный человек, помог нам решить некую заминку при заселении и потом помогал с разными вопросами.
ЗАВТРАК. Практически идеальный по местным меркам - есть вся необходимая еда: блюда из яиц на заказ, сосиски/бекон, свежие овощи, салаты, хлопья, соки, много видов хлеба и выпечки, фрукты, десерты. Разве что кофемашины не хватает - кофе только растворимый, но это почти везде так на Занзибаре.
ОКЕАН. Несколько пляжей радом, чистейшая вода, на западной стороне отливов, которые мешаеют купанию, нет. Зато есть потрясающие закаты - не пропустите!
ПАРКОВКА. Мы приехали на арендной машине, оставили до утра на внутренней охраняемой парковке.
Ну и МИНУСЫ. По сути он у нас был один - несмотря на предоплаченную бронь сразу наш семейный номер нам не дали - почему-то в их системе бронирования наша бронь проходила как 2 двухместных номера. Решали около часа, но потом вмешался хозяин и проблему решили. Номером мы в целом остались довольны.
ИТОГ. Отель рекомендуем, хороший выбор по соотношению цена/качество.
My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further.
The location and the beach are superb.
The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains.
The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement.
Zanzibar was amazing. the bungalow was ok best part was it been situated on the beach and the friendly staff made the stay worth it. the services of Samera at the front desk was top notch.
This is the third Riu hotel in the area, and having stayed at the previous two, I found this one, which opened in '26, to be a step down overall. The smell of concrete was very strong. They claim to have seven à la carte restaurants (non-buffet), but not all of them were open; in fact, only one was open each day. This wasn't mentioned on their website or on Ctrip. We were only informed at check-in that reservations could only be made for the following day. This means if you're only staying one night, you're stuck with the buffet for all three meals and can't experience any of the all-inclusive à la carte restaurants, despite paying the same per-night rate as those staying longer, which feels very unfair. The large, modern building feels too artificial; I'd rather stay in a more traditional hotel on the island.
За свои деньги - хороший отель. Видно, что он не новый, подмазанный-подкрашенный, но в целом его чистота и шикарное местоположение перекрывают недостатки.
Персонал вежливый, готовый помочь. Единственное, очень громкие и неуклюжие девочки, которые убирают номера. Слышимость хорошая, а они в 7 утра начинают громко смеяться, болтать и двигать мебель, когда в соседнем номере уехали гости. Жаловалась на них.
Завтрак неплохой. Супер разнообразия нет, но всё свежее вкусное, для европейцев.
Пляж и океан выше всяких похвал. Ради них и стоит ехать. Отливы есть, но совсем небольшие, 3 метра уходит вода, они никак не мешают купаться весь день. Глубина уходит вниз не резко, но там не лягушатник, чуть отплыл и уже дна не чувствуешь. Да, есть приставучие бич бои, но их просто надо игнорить. В мой отдых вообще каждый день приезжала полиция и гоняла их. Много водных развлечений на пляже. Пляж чистый, водорослей или нет совсем или чуть-чуть.
Из минусов - лежаки. Они старые деревянные и видно что самодельные. У части лежаков нет возможности поднять/опустить спинку. Матрасы на лежаки выдают отдельно. Лежаки двигать нельзя. Если вы хотите полежать на солнце (а лежаки стоят под навесами из пальмовых листьев), то просто надо брать с лежака матрас и идти лежать на нем на песке.
Номера неплохие. У меня был стандартный. Есть утюг с гладильной доской, сейф, фен, чайник с чашками, 2 бутылки воды 0.5 л каждый день, шампунь и гель для душа. Кондей работал исправно, вода горячая из водонагревателя (но у них везде так), напор хороший.
Ресторан в отеле работает весь день. Меню не сильно богатое, но готовят вкусно, порции большие. Меню бара разнообразное. Цены средние. Бургер с картошкой фри 10-15 долл. Паста 10-15 долл. Мясо 15-25 долл. Салаты 10-15 долл. За пределами отеля в ресторанах цены примерно такие же. По средам у них вечер барбекю на пляже. По воскресениям караоке. Какой-то явной анимации нет, как в Турецких отелях. Но на Занзибаре надо наслаждаться пляжем и океаном.
Кароче, я довольна и приехала бы ещё.
Еда вкусная, достаточно разнообразная. Разве что салаты подкачали - содержимое не сильно соответствует названию.
Местоположение неплохое. Не первая линия, но до пляжа буквально пара минут.
По вечерам несколько раз была развлекательная программа (фаер шоу, танцы).
Тренажерный зал конечно подкачал. Наполнение так себе. По сути есть гантели, штанга и Беговая дорожка. Остальное либо отсутствует, либо неработоспособно.
Понравилось отношение персонала. Все возникающие вопросы были оперативно решены.
Воспользовались спа. В программу включены сауна, скраб, хамам и массаж. На мой взгляд стоит своих денег.
We had an amazing stay at this hotel, clean neat and cozy room with complimentary water, delicious breakfast you will be spoiled for choice, good location as it is on the beach with sun beds for your relaxation after swimming in the ocean. Assorted wines and drinks for your refreshment, excellent customer service Neema went over and beyoud to show us around the hotel. If you are looking for a quite and intimate holiday destination for you to rewind, recharge and bond with your loved one this is a place for you.
The entire island experiences intermittent power outages. I encountered this about three times a day in both the restaurant and my room, each lasting less than ten seconds before power was restored.
Some of the staff, especially a female chef at one of the restaurants (the head chef rotates nightly), showed clear disdain for Asian guests.
Upon check-in, a male front desk staff member saw that I only had a small backpack (a tiny summit pack, as my main luggage was left in Kilimanjaro and not brought to Zanzibar). I was already carrying it myself, but he forcibly took it from me, even after I told him it wasn't necessary, clearly trying to earn a tip. Once in the room, he kept making small talk and wouldn't leave, seemingly afraid I wouldn't tip him. I ended up giving him one.
When I was checking out, my flight was delayed, so I asked if I could extend my check-out by an hour. The staff confirmed that an extension wasn't possible, but I could still use the hotel's beverage, snack, and other facilities. Since I had an all-inclusive package, I double-checked with a male staff member on the phone and a female staff member at the front desk about getting a drink, given my flight was delayed by three hours (my check-out was at 12 PM, and I hoped to leave around 1 PM). They both said it was fine. So, at 12:30 PM, I had a glass of orange juice by the pool. At 1 PM, as I was leaving the hotel, I was stopped and asked to pay. The staff member who had previously confirmed this with me, along with another server (not the beverage server), debated with me in front of their supervisor. Eventually, the supervisor, James, intervened and told me I could leave.
One of the bartenders at the beach bar also displayed discrimination towards Asians, practically fawning over white guests. I sat there for ages, and he ignored me even after I politely asked for the menu twice, pretending not to hear. As soon as a white person sat down, he was instantly there, chatting them up.
Overall, I'm dissatisfied with the service. Some staff members' English was poor, leading to communication misunderstandings (and I've studied English for many years and graduated with an English degree). The excessive debating in front of a customer also doesn't reflect good service. There were instances of discrimination and being forced into tipping. The entire service experience was very poor.
The beach, however, is excellent, and the hotel's location is good.
Останавливались в Sunshine Bay Hotel всего на 2 дня — и даже за это короткое время успели по‑настоящему отдохнуть! Отель расположен в потрясающем месте: до пляжа рукой подать, вокруг зелень и тишина, при этом недалеко от интересных мест.
Персонал очень приветливый: встретили с улыбкой, быстро оформили заселение и подробно рассказали, что посмотреть поблизости. Помогли вызвать такси и дали несколько отличных советов по локальным достопримечательностям.
Номер оказался чистым и уютным — есть всё необходимое, включая кондиционер, который очень выручал в жару. Wi‑Fi работал стабильно, уборка была проведена оперативно во время нашего пребывания.
Несмотря на короткий срок пребывания, остались в полном восторге. Sunshine Bay Hotel создал идеальное настроение для нашего путешествия по Занзибару. Обязательно вернёмся сюда на более долгий срок в следующий раз!

Very Good
GGuest UserWe were warmly greeted by the staff at the entrance. I had booked a deluxe room and had arrived early, would have appreciated an early checkin but the room wasn’t ready so meanwhile I explored the resort amenities. It has a private beach with a mini golf area and a bar alongside. The staff is friendly but most of the staff is new, a bit slow but they get you what you need. Maybe that’s how they’re wired, I’m unsure but they were kind.
Pictures don’t do enough justice to this property. It’s massive, beautiful interiors with high end quality products. Loved the spa, felt so rejuvenated and I loved their bathing product line, the shower gels, etc. It’s ace quality. Food was good. They had live performance that got everyone on flood.
It’s one of the best properties I’ve stayed at.
GGuest UserHotel: Beautiful views and nice arquitecture.
On our last day they let us do a free late check out and have dinner and stay at the hotel till 11pm which really shows that the hotel care about their guests.
Food: The food is good. The cliff restaurant is very nice and with good dishes. Buffet is quite diverse and you have the BBQ night which is awesome. Something to improve: desserts.
Service: All the staff is very nice and friendly.
Pools: You have 3/4 different pools with 2 bars which is great to order some drinks.
Room: big rooms and very spacious. Bed sheets, towels and matress are quite old. They need to be changed.
Gym: Needs an improvement. To close it and are some fan/air conditioner. They should add some running and bike equipment.
Beach: Beautiful beach with super crystal water. Something bad is the local people that wants to sell everything at all time. But I guess that is something normal in all Zanzibar.
Score: 8,5/10

GGinge5Tui Blue Bahari is 5*+
There is space, good food, great private beaches, 5 restaurants, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere.
There were more sunbeds than guests when we stayed and towels are available poolside.
There are bars in the garden, by the beach and at the pool, which are all manned with waiters and bar staff who are happy and efficient.
The hotel has security and a private beach and the local tour sellers wait at the beach for you to engage.
If you walk straight into the sea from the resort you'll find starfish, urchins and Dory fish.
The room door we had wouldn't lock with a firm push and a couple times after the cleaners had been it was unlocked.
Overall though 9.5/10
I'd recommend for any special occasion, or for those who want to safari in Tanzania, or swim with dolphins in Mnemba.

GGuest UserI really enjoyed my stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel. The beach, the view, and the sunset were absolutely beautiful. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. It’s the perfect place to relax and have a good time. If I come back to Zanzibar, I’d definitely stay here again.”
GGuest UserCame here to relax after trekking and safari trips and the lodge is a peaceful retreat set on the northeast side of Zanzibar. Loved the surroundings and garden is so beautiful. I picked this place as it has a dive center and it did not disappoint. The team at Dive Point Zanzibar is professional and the ratio of dive instructors / masters to visitors is 1:2 which is great. I am visiting on the shoulder season as the island is heading into low season so it is relatively quiet everywhere and I get to enjoy the full service and attention :)
GGuest UserLacation-top! The view from the room is amazing, the room is very large with a lot of storage spaces, which is very convenient. The interior itself is certainly quite specific, well or authentic:) service is medium, no one is frankly philonite, but not tense. The room was cleaned well. The bed is tough, but it seems that on the tanzibar is mostly such. Breakfasts - will go. Not wau, but you will not remain hungry. The idea of the kitchen and food is straight Zanzibar: hot and OK😄 so much don't wait. There is a swimming pool and a very green area of aki mini-jungle, but everything is a little underrun, No one is frowned about purity and accuracy. Everything in such a natural form where the sheet fell, there and lay. The branch was broken from the tree? Its its problems 😄 It feels that it works here and runs the hotel purely local, in general without understanding some world practice about
Hotel business. In general, I think it is for the best. For the first visit to Zanzibar, it is a great choice.
GGuest UserHave a good time at Smile Beach Resort. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. In the evening someone came to close the mosquito net and sprayed the mosquito spray. Breakfast and lunch are good, and we don’t use dinner because there are many restaurants nearby.
I would like to mention the swimming pool and the seats on the beach, which are areas for improvement. They are very old and hard. The bed in the room is also very hard.
