    We had been to swim n some chill time at beach. We just endup arguing for the food we carried even after paying service charge for the same. The food we ordered came after 2hours which was terribke in taste kids could not even eat the same.

    Extremely horrible and a disappointing experience.. Pool was so dirty with insects, washrooms were dirty without lightings and totally poorly maintained.. Very bad experience.. Not worth it at all!!

    The service is absolutely terrible in general. At the restaurant, we waited for 1 hour and half just for our food! On top of that, the waiter forgot to write an order. In general, I feel that the staff here are not caring about the customers need (but credit to the housekeeping team for trying their best!) I advise overnight stayers to check their rooms (light, water from taps and showers, towels, air conditioning etc) before entering. When I entered my room, there was no water and no light. Also, my key wouldn't allow me to get in, until I had to go to the reception and ask for additional help. I was truly disappointed in my stay here.

    Nice get away place with beatiful landscape.... but was put off on number of issues such as 1. Upfront payments before single service or room view. 2. Challenged with food pricing and kids' extra payments in family rooms to the tune of 50% . which is weird. 3. Low standard of stuff, their service doesn't match the investment made. 4. Repair and Maintenace is shocking. Such a huge and beautiful landscape and investment e to find rooms with corroded tape water, old/torn bedsheets and nets. 5. TV service is almost none existence. Very small screens, not HD and only 2-3 channels. 6. WiFi servise also very poor.

    This was once one of the best hotels in Bagamoyo. To see what has become of it was really saddening. The location is great and super tranquil but the hotel is a shell of its former self. I must admit though, I did enjoy the 'me time' I took on the beach....Those sunrise walks and solo sunset drinks were blissful.....I wish there'd be a way this place could be revamped, especially since it happens to sit in such a beautiful town, rich in history....

    Horrendous. Dirty. Overpriced. Terrible food. Poor service. Our guests were unhappy and asked to leave after two nights. When we tried to leave the manager refused to allow our guests to check out. It took us 8 hours of “discussion” until we finally managed to get them out. Worst hotel experience of my 20 years of traveling. Do not send groups there and do not pay in advance.

    Decent hotel but requires of maintenance here and there plus in rooms the aircon don't work properly which is a challenge as Bagamoyo is hot humid from Nov to March. And the grass need to be cut and maintained! But otherwise there's a swimming pool which can help to cool down

    Went here to swim on a Sunday and the place was barely full, just a couple of people and it was really nice to have the whole pool to myself, the pool really is it's star feature. Great place to chill and have a few drinks without the hussle.

  • 4/5 Ahmet Sami ile Bi D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a very nice place, but unnecessarily expensive, 7 8 times more expensive than somewhere in the same room conditions. If you say a lot of money, you can choose. (Original) Çok güzel bir yer ama gereksiz pahalı aynı oda şartlarında bir yerden 7 8 kat daha pahalı. Param çok derseniz tercih edebilirsiniz.

  • 2/5 Humaam M. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    My stay at Oceanic Bay Hotel and Resort was nothing short of a nightmare. The bathrooms were disgustingly filthy, and the toilets didn't even flush properly, creating a completely unsanitary environment. The agony continued with interminable waiting times at the restaurant, coupled with abysmal customer service. Adding insult to injury, the night-time dining experience became a battle with mosquitoes, turning what should have been a relaxing meal into a constant swatting session. The sleeping conditions were equally deplorable, with dirty, old, and torn bedsheets providing no comfort whatsoever. Safety concerns arose with an unsafe staircase, casting a shadow of doubt on the overall structural integrity of the facility. To top it off, a two-hour wait for food resulted in a meal that was not only delayed but also disappointingly undercooked, leaving me with an unpleasant culinary experience. While the swimming pool offered a glimmer of hope, it was marred by poor maintenance. The water was visibly dirty, and the surroundings suggested a lack of regular cleaning. In essence, Oceanic Bay Hotel and Resort proved to be a regrettable choice, overshadowed by its numerous shortcomings that tainted what should have been a rejuvenating getaway.

    My recent stay at a once superb Oceanic Bay hotel was disappointing. The cleanliness has taken a nosedive, and the services provided are now very poor. The facilities are visibly old and poorly maintained, creating a subpar experience. The requirement for upfront payment without corresponding service quality was frustrating. Adding to the dismay, the cost of an extra bed for kids or an additional person was unjustifiably high, without any added value to the services. The culinary experience was equally disheartening, with tasteless food and an unreasonably long wait time of at least 2 hours from order to table. To make matters worse, on occasions, orders were not even prepared. This hotel sadly offers no value for money in its current state.
