The room was beautiful with stunning sea views. The location was peaceful and right across from Mnemba Island. It was convenient to have transportation options like bikes, car drop-offs and pick-ups, and boat rides to the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was good. The dive center was great too, and we enjoyed snorkeling with them. it was a perfect stay for us youngsters!

We felt truly looked after during our stay, no complaints at all.

United States of America, May 2023

The view of the nearby island was breathtaking and the surrounding gardens were beautiful. I also enjoyed the tranquility of the secluded location, despite the bumpy road to get there.

There were no other nearby restaurants, which meant that we had to eat at the hotel. the food and drinks were quite overpriced, which was disappointing.

I recently stayed at this luxurious hotel and it was an incredible experience! The location is absolutely breathtaking, with a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the stunning Mnemba island. The views are like something out of a postcard, with white sand and crystal clear waters surrounding the island. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, taking care of everything I needed directly on the hotel premises. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a natural and eco-friendly design that added a unique touch to the overall ambiance. The hotel also offers a range of amenities, including a spa and wellness center, swimming pool, and a library for relaxation. It truly felt like a little piece of paradise.

We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Marine Lodge. The garden was absolutely beautiful and the rooms were cozy with a perfect temperature. The lounge, dining area, and library all offered stunning views. The staff was professional and efficient, and the pools were clean and inviting. We even had the pleasure of seeing bushbabies during dinner. The location was ideal for diving, snorkeling, and dolphin watching. The manager of the kitchen was incredibly accommodating, providing gluten and lactose-free meals for my food allergies. I highly recommend this place.

One drawback was the lackluster and overpriced food at the resort. It was a shame because everything else about our stay was perfect.
