+ the hotel is well laid out + the staff are friendly enough + the facilitys are ok (two swimming pools) + they try to provide broadband - far out of town means a $100 transfer fee (two way)...do you need this? - the food is worthy of a special warning. Not only is it very poor (i was worried... More

on the east coast in the north this is the best design hotel in Zanzibar. its rooms all have ocean views with great ocean breezes and built 12 years ago by two very clever guys,the rooms are brillant. I stay at 5 star hotels around the world but in tanzania this hotel for me as a business guy is brillant... More

I stayed here for 3 full days and it was just perfect. We had a 1st floor room which had outstanding views and was very comfortable with constant hot water. It was very hot when we sun bathed around the pools or on the beach so we also chilled out in the bar/reseraunt/lounge area which is outstanding. A fully stocked... More

We loved our time at Sunshine. The pool area is so nice and because the resort is small it is very quiet, which we loved. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. The food was the best we had while in Zanzibar! Amazing spices. The beach in general at Matemwe was not our favorite and that would be anywhere in... More

We loved our 4 days at Sunshine Hotel and would have liked to stay longer. It was the perfect place right on the beach to relax after more adventurous activities! Our room was exactly what we would have wanted for a beach-side retreat and had beautiful ocean and garden views. Agree with other reviewers- ask for a second floor room,... More

I came to Sunshine Hotel from a bustling Stone Town and wanted to relax and retreat and it was perfect! The rooms are light, airy and spacious with great views towards the ocean from the balcony - very well thought-out hotel. The duo-pools are inspired and the space around them - truly lovely - you can, and I did, spend... More

We stayed at Sunshine Hotel for six days and it was a fabulous time. The beach was incredibly white and realyy deserted. Only once we took advantage of the pool because the beach was great. The only caveat were the jellyfishes but no harm done. The food was spectacular and the rose wine very good. A plus for the unexpected... More

Very cool place. Loved the ambience and chill out music. Also loved the complimentary bottle of wine for being on honeymoon. Great food. It is quite expensive but worth it although while I knew there was no a/c, it was very hot at night. Very friendly managers who were incredibly helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

Sunshine Hotel is the choice for those who want a beach vacation away from the busy pace of life. It is the best choice for Matemwe or for that matter anywhere on Zanzibar's northeast coast. This is not the place to be to party, take a jet ski, do a little para-sailing, etc... (these things can be done in Nungwi... More
