9 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2026
I had a sea facing room with spectactular views of the entertainment area and beach. The enterainment/outdoor area is exceptional with two pools and numerous tables with shade. The restaurant is great with comprehensive breakfast options by Tanzanian standards. They have both a pizza and al la carte menu for dinner catering to most tastes. I sampled the seafood platter and it was delicious. Pricing is pretty competitive for Dar all though more expensive than Zanzibar as expected. The rooms are well laid out, have aircon and a sliding door that you can open (with an insect screen) so you can hear the sea while in your room. The room was clean and came with complimentary water, tea and coffee, a fridge and a safe. There is a tv but it doesn't have an extensive channel list so I streamed on my phone/laptop. The reception and hotel staff were very friendly and accomodating. They booked my transfers to and from the airport and dealt with any requests I had throughout my brief stay.
The hotel was a little further outside of Dar es Salaam than I anticipated and so it took 2 hours to get there during rush hour traffic and 1.5 hours to get back to the airport 2 days later. All though there was shade over the loungers by the pool, the pool was in direct sunlight for most of the day. The beach was similar and you could not walk on the beach without shoes unless it was very early or later in the evening due to the sand being scorching. In certain places the beach was littered with lots of plastic but the hotel staff were working tirelessly to clean this up. There was also quite a bit of confussion about payment for dinner every night as initially I was told I could charge it to the room but then the next night I was told I couldnt as I had not put down a deposit. It was sorted promptly by the reception staff but it did feel disorganised, badly communicated and caused unecessary debate.

Beautiful view of the beach from our room.
We had the honeymoon package for our last day and the dinner food selection👎🏻 needs improvement and the breakfast buffet needs improvement as well overall everything else was good.
