  • 3/5 Ousman T. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 250 reviews
    It's a very nice hotel right in front of the beach. It has a large beach space to offer with loads of beach beds.. The highlight of this hotel for me is the beach and the view of the beach at sunrise and sunset. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Only issue is the selection or options for breakfast. The breakfast is supposed to start at 7am but in most cases the staff are still setting up at 7am. Breakfast is important to me which is why i gave 3 stars as a rating.

    Moved from another nearby resort that was not up to standard. From the first welcome by Rehema and Humphrey, I knew I would enjoy my stay. Bedding was clean and crisp. Everything worked well and room was well positioned with great views. Breakfast was scrumptious with some unique options on the buffet. Location to the beach was awesome. Wifi was good and available outside if you need to work. Coffee was not what I am used to so didn't go down well. Not easy to find places around this area to get some outside food as bank cards were not accepted everywhere.

    I love the place. Great location and they have nice facilities. The only disappointing thing is the waiters are not so friendly both time I visited 1. Day one I called a waiter twice and the waiter just decided to ignore me because he was not waiting for our table. 2. Day two one of our friends had an accident so he couldn't walk without crutches he simply asked for a waiter to assist getting a buffet and the waiter replied you can go and take what you want we had to be a bit aggressive for him to go get the food for him. We could have helped but it was a bit inhuman for someone to ask for an assistance and ...

  • 2/5 DanielnRebekah K. 2 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is self service which makes no sense in Tanzania. Our prawns and calamari were both bad. Fries were cold. Alcohol was priced incorrectly. Beautiful location.

    Absolutely amazing, great staff and the rooms were perfect. The breakfast was wonderful, the indian chef made a great job!

  • 3/5 Jeff B. 1 year ago on Google
    The ocean view rooms give a beautiful scenic experience! Though the cutlery in the rooms is plastic, cups are paper made, soap bottles are refillable. There is no room service, no flat iron in the room; besides that, the room interior is awesome,with cable TV ,smoke detector ,AC , safe and water heater for tea. I can't say the food is great, most probably average, especially the breakfast and Ala carte.
