“Michamvi Sunset Bay offers an intimate Zanzibar experience, with only 20 rooms ensuring personalized attention. I find its appeal in the varied dining locations and access to a private beach; the hawkers are indeed a nuisance, but the sunsets and attentive staff create a calming escape. It's a bit worn, but the location's inherent serenity shines through.”
