Sunshine Marine Lodge
Off Mnemba Island Road, Zanzibar, 4749 Matemwe, Tanzania – Great location - show map
The restaurant staff and food were phenomenal. Daily specials bring variety and delicious options even for special dietary needs. The front desk was incredibly helpful in arranging transport, check in and out. The pool is beautiful and the dive shop well-organized. Even at popular dive sites we went in smaller groups of four which improved the experience underwater. Peaceful lush garden throughout the property. Daily yoga classes with mats provided. Comfortable firm bed with lots of fans and several seating options. Would definitely return to this hotel.
