This is an excellent escape from a stressful world. If you want to chill and read a book at the pool or take a walk along the beach, this is the place for you. If you’re looking for nightlife and excitement, you might want to try elsewhere. I would go back in a minute.

We came here for rest and relaxation on the beach in Zanzibar, and that's exactly what we got. The bungalow we got was opulently beautiful. The whole resort was kept spotless. They swept the street every morning with about five people with brooms. The swimming pool was heavenly, really, we loved it, and the direct access to the white sandy beach was just as we'd expected when we first booked our six-day stay online. There was one day when there was a terrifically loud party at the place next door, the whole neighborhood went boom boom boom with a pulsing disco beat for about five hours, but it certainly wasn't the fault of the Sunny Palms. I personally had no problem with their complete no-alcohol policy in the restaurant, but that is one thing you might have to get used to. Another is that it may very well take half an hour to get your food after you've ordered it, but we didn't really mind too much since there's nothing wrong with taking a leisurely hour for dinner or lunch. The menu wasn't very "deep" as far as choices, but I must clearly state that the food was delicious every single time. They have a good chef in there. As for the price, I guess it varies by season, but when we were there just a week ago, we didn't think the price was out of line at all.

We loved having a 3 bedroom suite with a living area and private baths for all. So nice to be all together yet in our own space, The food was good and the service was too! Unfortunately the property isn't licensed. That's the only hesitation I would have on returning.

Beautiful property on the Uroa Eastern Coast. This resort has so much potential as it lies in a comfortable setting with beautiful, picture es sandy beaches and warm water. You want piece and quiet, this is the place. If you want hustle and bustle prepare to drive 1 hour to the north, south or back to Stone-town on the west. The term bungalow is a little misleading however. The suites are not really bungalows, but four suite condos or townhouses. Two suites on the lower level and two suites above with separate entrances for all. Ours was very nice and very comfortable with traditional decor inside. The food selections were okay, in my opinion, 7/10 in terms of freshness, variety and cost. The lack of alcohol however, puts a damper on the potential of this property. A swim up bar that looks absolutely amazing is not used at all because of this. The neighbouring resorts that do serve alcohol are totally benefiting immensely because residents from the Sunny Palms are spending their vacation money on drinks there and also having dinner or lunch there as well. To me this is a marketing flaw. Still, a great place to rest and relax after you hiked Kilimanjaro.

Ikke en god oplevelse…

Hotels.com og hotellet lover drinks og pool bar på hotellet. Det var der ikke noget af - og det første vi fik at vide var, at der ikke serveres alkohol overhovedet, fordi det er en muslimsk eget hotel. Hvilket absolut ikke står nogle steder - men billederne viser noget andet. Legepladsen er meget ødelagt og man skal ikke lade sit barn lege alle steder - risiko for at pådrage sig skader på redskaberne! God mad, men tager oftest sin tid. Vi kom 4 dage ude for sæson og der var dødt på hotellet. Ingen stemning og virker som om personalet også er gået på ferie. Ikke kom under ramadan!!

Séjour Époustouflant !! J'ai passé un séjour époustouflant avec ma Best ( LOML ). Tout était incroyable : de la villa très confortable et extrêmement propre, à la cuisine du restaurant de très haute qualité. Je tiens à souligner le professionnalisme du personnel de l’hôtel, qui offre une prise en charge digne des plus grands complexes hôteliers étoilés. Une mention spéciale à Wilson, Ramadhan et Kassim pour leur service exceptionnel. À très bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures, avec un minimum d'un mois sur place comme à notre habitude. Je vous aime !
