    They need to have room service since it was hard to order food late hours which is an issue for those with jet lag . We found ourselves eating at Ramada which is a hotel next to them

    The property was clean and the rooms were great

    The flies at breakfast. Understand breakfast is served outside but this is a pain. No hairdryer. Shower leaked quite a bit of water. Sliding balcony door was very difficult to open. Have to request a TukTuk to go to a supermarket as nothing is close by the hotel. No milk supplied in room, only powered milk options. Not enough clothes hangers.

    Lovely view of the ocean and pool. Enough plug points that accommodates universal plugs and UK type. Aircon in room. Mosquito net in front of sliding door which helped a lot when the door was open. Beds are comfortable and rooms are a decent size. Lovely pool and fantastic views. Staff is nice but Isiaka at reception is exceptional. Please commend him on the way he speaks to guests. Had a great conversation with him at check out. Restaurant is good with a tranquil vibe and food was really good. Room has a mini bar fridge.

    We enjoyed the stay because we were able to use the Ramada resort swimming pool.

    The hotel is open for walk-in day guest to use the swimming pool compromising security and comfort of the hotel guests. I was charged $40 more on booking.com. It would have been better to book with the hotel directly. I hope I get a refund to keep me using your service.

    The rooms are clean, the premises is well maintained and we managed to use the Ramada Hotel swimming pool which was next to the hotel where they offer better fun facilities for kids as the Hotels swimming pool area was full with walk-in guest to use the swimming pool only.

    Beautiful hotel at the beach

    The rooms are cleaned quite late in the day. This wasn't an issue for me as I was at a conference, but the room was often not cleaned until 4-5pm.

    The hotel is literally on the beach and it has a beautiful garden. The breakfast is ok, not amazing, but has both fresh fruits, omelettes, hot and cold options, and waffles/french toast.

    The flies at breakfast, but since it’s an open place at the beach I don’t see much to do about it but hopefully something is done about it. The food menu was also very limited so if you stay for a long time you will get bored.

    Amazing facility, by the beach if you need a beach view. This is an amazing hotel. Also a well spread breakfast and affordable place to stay. Did a TikTok on it so if you want to see actual pictures, check my tick-tock, Monica_soft_life.

    The menu could have been better. If the hotel could work on the variety and quality of food, I would rate this place excellent. The breakfast buffet needs considerable improvement. For example, the juice for breakfast is canned while it could have been fresh one given the abundance of fruit in Tanzania.
