A very warm welcome. The staff were always friendly and helpful.
During power outages, the generators were always quickly brought in to provide backup. The location is ideal for a quiet, romantic getaway, with shops nearby. For an alternative to the hotel restaurant, Balungi, less than a 10-minute walk away, is also good, as is Romagna Mia.
Uroa is truly a pleasant area for disconnecting, and the Sunny Palm is fantastic, offering both the villa's private pool and the communal infinity pool with breathtaking sea views.
The room is very comfortable and spacious, with a choice between air conditioning or a ceiling fan. There's also a gym overlooking the pool, and a games area (pool, foosball, etc.) – everything you need to relax.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Poor Management Overshadowed an Otherwise Promising Resort I stayed at Sunny Palms Resort Zanzibar for 11 nights, and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations. While there are some positive aspects, the stay was largely affected by weak operational management and lack of effective leadership. One of the most serious issues occurred during a power outage. The resort has two generators, presumably to ensure continuity when one fails. However, due to what appeared to be poor maintenance and lack of preparedness, guests were left without electricity for approximately 3–4 hours, waiting for the generator to be repaired. This situation could likely have been avoided with proper planning and preventive maintenance. The restaurant experience was also disappointing: • Breakfast was essentially the same every day for all 11 nights • Many menu items were frequently unavailable when requested • There appeared to be no clear food planning or inventory management For a resort with a General Manager in place, the overall operation did not reflect the level of organization or professionalism one would expect. There seemed to be little coordination, forward planning, or accountability, which directly impacted the guest experience. Positives worth acknowledging: • The housekeeping team did an excellent job. The resort was consistently clean, and their effort and dedication deserve recognition. • The staff are polite, respectful, and clearly willing to help, despite what appears to be limited support. • From conversations during the stay, it was understood that the Restaurant Manager resigned, and the kitchen team is currently operating under constraints. The chefs appear to be doing their best with the resources available, but would benefit greatly from clearer direction and support. With better leadership, planning, and operational structure, this resort could significantly improve. The people on the ground are trying, but the lack of cohesive management and accountability is evident and affects the overall guest experience. Overall: Sunny Palms Resort has potential, and some team members genuinely work hard. However, until management practices, maintenance planning, and restaurant operations improve, it is difficult to recommend this resort to travelers seeking a smooth, well-managed, and comfortable stay.

We loved having a 3 bedroom suite with a living area and private baths for all. So nice to be all together yet in our own space, The food was good and the service was too! Unfortunately the property isn't licensed. That's the only hesitation I would have on returning.

The staff received us very warmly and the three bedroom villa we shared was comfortable, the beds were soft enough and pillows very fluffy. Ali was very helpful and on call to ensure we enjoyed our two nights stay. The resort does not serve alcohol but he was able to organize for us what we wanted from outside moreover late in the night. The pool is clean and quiet. Generally a very good place to chill with family. No pressure.

Stayed at the place for 5 days.everything was excellent. food was good . villas were clean and spacious and the private pool option bomb. check-in/check-out was super efficient. the beach just wowed us very clean and Christal clear waters. the place is a dry place so plan accordingly. wi-fi is fast and stable throughout the place. excellent place for family or couples get away. Had a really good time and will definitely visit again

I think the most important answer is to the question of would I return. Yes. I would absolutely return. However, there is a but… And here it is…But I think it is important to manage your expectations. This may be five star for Africa, but it isn’t five star for Western Europe, Caribbean, Middle East or USA all of which I have extensively travelled, including living in Europe for a while. It is a charming place to stay, but you cannot expect it to be more than what it is or you will be disappointed. So what are the buts? Well…The electricity goes out in the entire resort, every day for a few seconds to minutes multiple times a day and night. The problem with the night is that you hear it go off and then a phone rings…so it wakes you up. The water pressure in the shower is not what you are used to. The WiFi is spotty. There are no lounge chairs on the beach. The food is ok but mostly buffet and a lot of flies. (Yesterday, the person making omelets just picked up a fly out of the feta and flicked it away and kept cooking omelets.) There is no alcohol allowed or sold (technically, you can buy some in town and consume in your room but you can’t take the drinks from next door over to this resort and you aren’t to have visible alcohol outside of your room). The beach is seaweed covered. It is Africa so there are a lot of mosquitos and there was either a huge worm that stood on its end or a small snake in our tub yesterday. It is also an hour drive or more from the main town and the more popular beaches, and transportation is expensive (there is no Uber and you must be careful to only ride with certified/registered drivers or risk your safety). Transportation costs were quoted to us as $100 or more each way, which could be divided by up to 6 people. However, Ali is amazing and makes you feel safe and comfortable. The water is hot in the shower. The bedrooms are air conditioned. The common sitting area in each villa is nice and spacious. The rooms have fridges and a coffee pot. They are generous with the bottled water. The beach is cleaned daily so there are periods where the seaweed is cleared. The hotel next door has alcohol and food by menu. The beach is safe and you can walk great distance safely. The pool is very nice. The aesthetics of the one street lined with beautiful villas is breathtaking. The rooms and beds are comfortable, especially with the mosquito net. The staff are nice and extremely hard working. The sunrises are absolutely amazing. There are not many folks on the beach trying to sell you things. So yes. I would come back.

We had a very great time there. The staff were very friendly and kind. The swimming pool was very great. There's a play area to play, also a kids play area. The rooms were spacious and clean. Overall I would give this place 10/10.
