Nice resort. Good food. Large rooms with nice showers and plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Security around the property made me feel safe. Beach is nice when the tide is out. Lots of lounge chairs available. Workers all over the property cleaning, raking, trimming the trees/bushes. Very well maintained public spaces.

Loved the resort. We stayed in the Beach Junior Suite which was very close to the beach. The room is large and quite with a great bed and shower. The resorts grounds are well kept. The dining area is right on the water with fantastic views and accommodating staff. The food can be better, but that was our experience in all of Tanzania so can't fault this resort for it.

Amazing White Sand Beach Resort

Excellent property with private beach access to white sands at Nungwi. The rooms are also top notch, lot of greenery and baobab trees on the property. The in house restaurant offers delicious food with options from multiple international cuisines. Sandies Baobab is a perfect location for people looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

The beach out the front of the property was nice and the hotel itself is large. We stayed for 3 nights in a garden cottage room, the first room we were given had one lamp for lighting and was close to construction, after speaking to management about the less than average room, we were moved to another garden cottage room which was better. The rooms are a little outdated but fine for the time we were there. We paid for the all inclusive package as it was much easier, the food buffet’s had plenty of options and lots of food. Wine selection wasn’t great and no options to choose from different ones which was disappointing if you didn’t want spirits. 2-3 days is enough to spend up in the area. Finally, whilst there are security guards around, we did see a number of locals that sell things on the beach walking around the hotel grounds.
