Delicious Meals

The meals at Sands Beach Resort were absolutely good! The buffet was plentiful and offered a rich variety of fresh, locally caught fish and local delicacies. I particularly enjoyed the nightly grill, which featured an array of fresh meats. The attentive service by staff added to the overall fantastic dining experience.

Serene Relaxation

The beach bar was a cozy spot where I could unwind with a drink while enjoying the stunning views. The outdoor seating and hammock swings created a perfect environment for relaxation. I loved trying out the various cocktails that were expertly crafted by the talented bartenders. It was truly a haven for peaceful leisure.

Spacious Villas

I stayed in a beautifully maintained two-bedroom villa, which was incredibly spacious and equipped with modern amenities. The outdoor shower was a unique touch that made me feel refreshed after a day by the beach. Every corner of the villa was clean and tidy, enhancing my comfortable stay.

Engaging Evening Entertainment

I loved the Friday night live music at the restaurant, where they served delicious food while a local band serenaded us. It was a great way to enjoy dinner and the lively atmosphere made the evening even more nice. The combination of good music and fresh seafood created an enjoyable dining experience.

I had an incredible stay at this resort that felt like absolute paradise. The setting is breathtaking, the bungalows are spotless, and the staff made me feel like family. Meals were outstanding with fresh ingredients, and the private beach was perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. My only wish would be for a bit more liveliness around the pool area, as it was quite tranquil, but this didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment.

This resort is a true gem for anyone looking to unwind after a busy safari. The villas are spacious and beautifully maintained, giving everyone plenty of room to relax. The beach is stunning, with soft sand and a great atmosphere, but keep in mind you'll encounter beach boys trying to sell things during the day. Dining here is a delightful experience with fresh and varied options, while the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The only drawbacks were the lack of TVs in the rooms and WiFi access only in common areas, which could be a hassle for families with kids.

Staying at the Sands Resort felt like a slice of paradise! The ambience is incredibly tranquil, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the villa were impressive, complemented by the warm hospitality from the staff. The dining experience was delightful with varied menus every evening, though I wish there were slightly more local options available. Overall, a great value for money experience with some areas that could be slightly improved.

The Sands Resort in Dongwe is a fantastic place to unwind, with amazing staff who go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The villas are spacious and well-maintained, with beautiful gardens and a large pool.

This resort offers a truly memorable experience with stunning beachfront location and excellent dining options. I was thrilled to have a spacious and comfortable villa with a private pool, and the service was exceptional throughout our stay. However, the distance from Stone Town might be a minor inconvenience for some, and the limited evening entertainment options could be improved.
