Sky and Sand Zanzibar Beach Resort

They try to improve quality, but there is a problem of humidity and workers...if something brokes, there is no one to fix it. We used the place as a base, moving all around the island. The food was basic, no extra finesse...

I've been in Sky and Sand/ Miramont (which is the same thing) for two nights. I couldn't have it any better! It is a quiet place, perfect for relaxing or even honeymoon. They have a bungalow garden with lots of birds. The prices of the bungalows are between 40 for the basic and 50$ for the superiors. I staid in a superior which was just perfect. Big bed with mosquito net, big bathroom with hot water, AC of course. Also u can stay i a bigger building with garden- or Oceanview, which is more expensive. For me the bungalow was the place to be!! Sitting on the veranda, looking at the birds, silent reading. Just perfect. They have one pool in the garden with sun-heated warm water and one wind-chilled pool at the Frontside next to the beach. Also there are two bars: one is next to the front side pool and includes swings instead of barstools. I felt happy like a child with my happy hour cocktails. The restaurant is basic but with huge portions!! The breakfast is included with the price and offers omelette, coffee, tea, fruits, juice, bread which is plenty. Best thing for me was waking up at 5.30am to see the sunrise at high tide from one of the swing-beds at the front side I totally recommend the place. The staff is super friendly and helpsome. I will come back whenever I am around there. Asante!!

The location of the hotel is nice and staff is very friendly. We stayed in a bungalow room that was ok value for money. Property is dated and could use some serious renovations and updates. The beach front pool was overcrowded, teriible music and guest smoking and drinking in the pool. Also during breakfast in the ‘restaurant’ area lots of smoking. Very unpleasant for people who love their health and fresh morning air. Breakfast was just about acceptable but the bread is so dry i needed fluid to get it down.

My cousins and I stayed at Sand & Sky resort for about a week and had a totally blissful time. Simon and all of the staff were extremely friendly and around to help with everything. We caught the sunrise and did yoga on the beach every morning followed by breakfast, which was different and delicious every day! There are plenty of comfortable spots to sunbathe, two pools, air conditioned rooms, morning and evening turndown service, great menu options (a few vegan too) and a perfect white sand beach right on the doorstep. Simon even arranged a day of snorkelling for us which included taxi and boat transport there and back for a super reasonable price! (Less than $30 per person) Only downside is the fairly slow wifi. Overall a beautiful & relaxing place to stay, would recommend to everyone.
