The best part of the hotel is the staff—warm, friendly, wonderful and willing to go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our stay wonderful. The location is far away from hustle and bustle of beaches like Nungwi. No one is trying to sell you anything here. The view from the pools is lovely and the dramatic rise and fall of the tide made for fun little adventures. The dive shop was handy and lovely. The snorkeling and diving at Mnemba were just 20 minute away and great. To note: there isn’t a swimmable beach in front of the hotel. For this, you wait until low tide and walk north to Muyuni or bike there…well worth it for the sandbar, starfish, and swimming. We are so thankful to Sunshine Marine Lodge team for sharing their beautiful space and smiles with us!

Very enjoyable stay at Sunshine Marine Lodge!
My wife and I chose to stay here because of the on-site Scuba Diving shop (Dive Point Zanzibar), and really enjoyed our 5-night stay. The property is located about 90 minutes from the airport, and a one-way private transfer/taxi arranged through the hotel costs $60 USD. We opted for the "half board" option which includes breakfast and dinner each day. Breakfast includes a continental style breakfast, but you can also have eggs/omelettes cooked-to-order, along with African pancakes (like a thick crepe). For dinner you can choose from the "Catch of the Day", or from a limited 4-course menu that changes daily. All in all, we were very happy with the quality, and quantity of the meals. The rooms were spacious and comfortable (we opted for the seaside bungalow, and had a beautiful/close view right from our room and porch - well worth the extra $. The property grounds are nice, quiet, there are three separate pools on-site, and a nice bar and restaurant. They also offer free yoga classes on Monday, Wednesdays, & Fridays, and you can snorkel right in front of the property during high tide (there are big tide swings here, so at low tide, there is not enough water to snorkel). We were very pleased with the overall service at the resort, however the restaurant staff/waiters do not seem to be very motivated, or have not been trained well on how to provide excellent service. DivePoint (scuba shop) is excellent, really nice to have on-site, and we loved our 7 dives with them!!!

This place was absolutely lovely! I enjoyed that it was quiet and out of the way - it is not close to any town and doesn't have the "party" vibe, but if you're looking for a nice place to relax, soak in the beach & snorkel/scuba dive, it's perfect! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the dive center is located right at the hotel! Definitely recommend this place!

Great place, wonderful people.
Great location for relaxing - well kept property with awesome view of ocean and Mnemba Island straight ahead, cool breeze, and very friendly and helpful staff. We had a family death and had to rebook and they were incredibly accommodating. Wifi was reasonable for Zanzibar (we didn't try to stream netflix or anything). Dive shop team are great and reasonably priced. Food was good and prices were reasonable (same as or less than other similar places in Zanzibar)

Ideal Vacation Location
Ideal stay for those of us that need to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Stayed for 3 nights the hotel staff were wonderful, hotel restaurant had a decent food & drinks menu, no internet connection and weak phone signal in the rooms so ideal to disconnect from work and life but you can find wifi by the bar, lots of water activities or just lay by the pool and do nothing kind of place, Loved it, also most importantly make sure you get a rental call its cheaper than taking a taxi to and from the hotel or moving around the island.

Awesome hotel, super friendly staff
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic room with sea-view. Place is absolutely top-class, staff are really friendly and helpful, beach is very close and there's a pool too. Restaurant is also very nice, on a big terrace Be aware that the place is rather isolated so you won't be able to go "for a stroll" as no other restaurants or shops around - good for a couple of days but probably not much longer. Also, it's pretty much on a cliff and to get to the beach you have to cycle, take a boat (when it's his tide) or ask for a lift...

gorgeous but remote
A fantastic remote location- a real getaway! A dive centre on site with great instructors and hotel staff are friendly. Some small issues to note: - wifi is not great and phone reception v v limited. -they charge 5% on all card transactions and there is no cash point so come prepared with dollars to settle your bill or account for the extra costs. Not as much locally caught food on the menu as you might expect on the coast - always catch of the day and lobster but many other dishes are European (pastas etc) and difficult to go elsewhere for meals. Having seen the half board menu on their notice board and eaten it one day I would recommend doing half board as the a la Carte menu can get pricey each day. Not quite as much variety on the menu but all nice food. -The road to the lodge is badly affected by the wet season so be prepared for a bumpy 10 minutes of the journey but this adds to the feeling of remoteness. Bear it in mind though if you're planning excursions out as it's very remote and adds some time to the journey. Positives- Breakfasts are lovely with lots of fresh fruit, pastries and cooked breakfasts - diving is great - Not having the white sandy beach right at the front of the hotel is actually an added bonus as you really get to see the tides and rock pools forming with lots of wildlife to look for each day. -The view out to Nnemba is gorgeous - arguably better than the view they would have staying out on the island looking back at Zanzibar.

A great place with great service - on the water
Don't be fooled by the name, "lodge" is not quite what it is. This small place has well appointed rooms in bungalows scattered around a nicely landscape natural garden, a nice pool, and the property gives on the beach. Very friendly service, great views, nice base for exploring the surrounding beaches. Very friendly service. On-site diving Center, with very friendly staff.

Lovely but difficult access
But for the need to spend 30 minutes on unmade road, 20 minutes of which is on a single vehicle very rough track which would be well suited to field testing ATVS, each time you want to go off and explore the island I would rate it higher. Unfortunately the local taxis are not 4x4s. As it is I feel that this journey isolates the hotel and presents a barrier to full enjoyment of a stay in Zanzibar. For those who simply want to spend the week diving at the PADI school on site, and for those whose ideal holiday comprises butt squatting eating and drinking then Sunshine Marine is a gem. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the setting/gardens are magnificent. Food is good and reasonably priced. The hotel is in an area where most people survive on subsistence farming and fishing so you see people in the sea fishing with nets from your balcony and a large fleet of small local trimaran fishing canoes are located on the beach nearby and the twice daily fishing flotilla passing by adds extra charm and a feeling of being in 'real Africa' - as does seeing people extracting and carrying their water from three wells located along the aforementioned track. Reef off Mnembe Island is excellent and very well stocked with fish despite the fact that a lot of fishing seems to take place on the reef. So, we enjoyed the stay at the hotel but did not see as much of Zanzibar as we had wished to do as the very uncomfortable access meant we limited our trips off site. Hotel 4.5/5 Access 1/5

Wonderful stay at a relaxing and comfortable lodge
The Sunshine Marine Lodge is a great relaxation escape! The grounds and setting are beautiful and all the rooms enjoy great views. The restaurant is reasonably priced with attentive, polite staff and good food at all times of the day. We sampled a wide range of drinks from the bar which were great. There are plenty of places to relax like hammocks and loungers round the pool. Room furnishings are very comfortable compared to other places we stayed in Tanzania (although this was a higher price range than those others). The snorkelling trip to Mnemba atoll was well worth it even in the rougher weather and we swum with dolphins! We did walk to the beach at low tide and explored the rock pools but spent most of our time chilling out. Allow 3 nights or more as it is a reasonable trip from Stone Town. I recommend that most of your Zanzibar excursions are done from a Stone Town base and then you should come here mainly to relax.

Paradise.
This resort was the perfect choice to end our 3 week trip! We loved the rooms, the views, the staff, and the food! The rooms were very clean, and quite large with a huge balcony/patio with amazing views of the ocean. The staff was very nice, espcially the waitstaff, bartenders, and the dive shop crew. The food- All fresh ingredients (fish caught that day), fresh fruit and fresh squeezed juices, and amazing pastries and desserts! Location- very secluded, and private. Not a place for crazy nightlife. However, you do get to meet the other people staying there due to the intimate setting of the resort, and the friendly atmosphere in the common areas. We went SCUBA diving and snorkelling, which entailed a very short boat ride to Mnemba Island, which can be seen from the resort. The dive equipment was all new, with great dive instructors. Just be aware that this resort is extremely remote. You can rent a bike (for free) to go to beaches nearby, but it is a hike to any sort of civilization. Also, make sure you contact the resort before you arrive to organize a ride from the airport/Stone town before you come. The location is miles (not an exaggeration) down a challenging dirt road (African Massage), with no road signs to follow. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this resort! I HIGHLY recommed this place if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to enjoy the spectacular beauty of Zanzibar!

This is a beautiful spot if you want quiet and isolated white sands beach, which we did. It is at the end of an unbelievably long and rough road. So there is nowhere else to eat or buy food for a beach picnic except the hotel's restaurant. The food was pretty good and fresh and local. The managers were very nice but their billing was confusing, indicating the amount you were credited was the amount they billed hotels. Com which was less than we paid. They just need to make that clearer. The snorkeling folks were great. They have SCUBA too.

Beautiful!
The road to the hotel really is difficult... Our taxi driver first took us to the Sunshine Lodge and then needed 'extra' to take us to the correct place. This was a poor start to the holiday - be VERY explicit when explaining your destination. However, once we arrived the horrors of the journey were quickly forgotten. The environment of the hotel is amazing - beautiful setting and very calm (apart from the noises of nature). The infinity pool next to the Indian Ocean is every bit as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, the rooms are large and well designed to be airy and comfortable. The restaurant sells a limited - but excellent - selection of different meals. This is proof enough that food is fresh as it changes daily. I went with the fish option every day and wasn't disappointed once. I spent 2 days diving with the dive school which shares the same location. Both beautiful days with a very caring dive team that really gave me the impression that nothing was too much and acted as excitedly as the tourists when we spotted a pod of dolphins. Overall, this was an increadible holiday and one I would recommend highly. The minor niggle on the 'room comfort' feedback doesn't reflect the fact that the manager had to come and remove a large crab from the bathroom (although he did!) but the fact the ceiling fan only had 2 speeds - off or turbo - so it was hard to make a balance between noise and temperature at night. Although I would still go back in a flash!

Wow! A perfect spot!
This hotel is truly a resort in the truest sense. The room, views, and food are perfect. The service was great. We loved biking on the free bikes to the local white sand beach, which you can also reach easily at low tide by walking. The only challenge is the bumpy road to get to this isolated, quiet spot. Also, the only food choice really is the restaurant, which serves delicious food but at USA prices. There is no air conditioning, but there is a ceiling fan and a little fan over the bed--an additional fan would have been helpful. We loved it. It was a perfect place to read, swim and sunbathe.
