We enjoyed a wonderful week at Sunset Bay as a family following a safari. The resort is superbly designed, full of palm trees and greenery and is also the only one in the area to have a seamless transition to the white beach. There are always plenty of sun loungers and due to the relatively small number of rooms, there is always a very relaxed atmosphere. Really unique makes the resort the entire team. All the staff, without exception, are very friendly and professional. The manager Shirley is fantastic. Always approachable, helpful with literally every question and inquiry and as a guest you feel very quickly like at home. The food was excellent. A very wide range of dishes from all over the world, served every evening in a different place (On the beach,at the pool or in the restaurant). The kitchen staff is great and for us it was especially helpful, that our daughter that suffers from the celiac disease, has prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner excellent gluten free dishes for her. And unlike other places that claim to cook gluten-free, at Sunset Bay there was a real understanding of the requirements that gluten-free dishes entail. That all four of us were then able to enjoy for a week the great food with lots of variety was a great relief. If you are looking for a lot of "action", you will probably find it more in big hotels and resorts. However, we can't think of a better place to relax and enjoy the sun, sea and local cuisine and hospitality.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property is just basic. However, very relaxing! I witnessed some very unsanitary things happening with food and utensils. That turned me off and honestly, I was counting down till my departure within 2 hours of being on the property. They do not do anything to protect the food and they stick a wild cat in the cabinets that they store the silverware. This particular cat had all sorts of cuts around his neck and head, The thought of a cat let alone a wild cat in his condition being mixed closed into a cabinet where they were storing silverware for the guest is appalling! There was a limited terrible breakfast offered. However, after seeing the cat being stored with the utensils, eating was the farthest thing from my mind! The plus the owner/manager was really sweet. The rest of the staff was just okay.

Good boutique hotel
It a small hotel and staff all friendly. It may not be for everyone it depends what you like. The pool was clean. The rooms ok, nothing to write home about. Bathroom dirty tiles and in the corners of floor. All in all we had a great time. Food varied but you need to choose what you want for the evening meal at breakfast in the morning. There is a choice of 3 starters, main and dessert. Sometimes there was nothing I liked but they can tweak it if you ask. The beach has a lot of rubbish and seaweed and is tidal so cannot always swim. When tide is in the sea is like a bath, so warm. We would recommend this if you are not setting your standards too high. Also good idea to book half board as only the rock restaurant as alternative and you will either need to walk or get a cab.

Michamwi, s place to relax.
A great small little hotel, if looking for a place where to relax you found your place, not much to do more than doing nothing. Pictures on Hotels.com are genuine, great management as well as staff. The only thing that travelers must be aware of it that the tide is clearly not to be neglected, bring reef shoes. If looking for more action it’s just a seven minutes walk and you find a hip beach bar where you also can rent jet skis for example.
