Inotially going to the property, the scenery was same as main road, once we got on the property and is beautiful. If you did not know where you were, you would have thought you were at a world class 4-star hotel. Staff is great and helped us with our wedding reception. Awesome by the Indian Ocean.

My Go-To Hotel in Dar Es Salaam

The location and ambience of the hotel are superb. I greatly enjoy listening to and watching the waves crash against the rocks under the restaurant in the morning and evening. The rooms are comfortable and the food is good. The service this time was not as on point as before (staff seem very young and distracted), but was still average in their response to my few needs. I'll be back.

Wonderful memories in Dar es Salaam

I had an amazing stay, the hotel was in an ideal location next to the beach. The staff were very, professional friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and welcoming. I felt very safe and at home. The staff went out on their way to provide me with any assistance that i needed. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel to stay during at trip to Dar es Salaam.

Most staff were very kind and helpful, some seemed disinterested in their job. The breakfast could use a refresh with a few more options for vegan and gluten free guests. Hot water was not working most times and when it was it was scalding hot. Safe also not working and despite asking for it to be fixed, it never was repaired during our 3 night stay.

Great vibe at the pool and restaurant with a lovely artist singing. Had an amazing massage and loved the relaxation. The beach, unfortunately, is filled with trash and tons of jellyfish...But I still enjoyed a long walk. I would definitely recommend staying for a few days of R&R.

Really nice setup directly by a beach that so far is not very touristic. Mostly locals by the beach as well as fishermen. The hotel is kind of lodge style. People are friendly. Kitchen is good, missing some African specials. I would come back for sure.

Garden Oasis on the Beach

Upon arrival you're greeted with lush greenery that is immediately calming. I arrived early and was able to keep my luggage on the property until check-in. Overall, the grounds are immaculately kept and the service is nice. The room was spacious and clean. I liked that there is a fan and AC. I did not use the patio but it was covered with comfy pillows if you wanted to lay out and read or nap during your stay. The only con is that the bathroom showerhead was filled with grime that I cleaned off and informed the front desk about. You may have to flush the toilet twice. I'd stay again and try the restaurant.

This small hotel is off the beaten path. The rooms are basic but clean and have everything that we needed. We arrived late at night and no housekeeping came the next day. Pool and beach were wonderful as was the breakfast that we had. Great coffee.

In a way the hotel is ok, beautiful garden, beautiful view, cozy restaurant and the staff was kind and friendly, so far so good but the room could be cleaner, food could be better, music from the neighbor ( hotel/cafe/whatever, not sure what it was ) every and hole evening/night ???? ok for me, i have teenage children at home so i am use to noisy behavior, but i can easily imagine that some people will find it very irritating when they finally take some vacation but again, ok for me i could live with that which means i have no problem sleeping. But close the swimming pool for four days without announcing it ! my god there was an angry couple and i still feel so sad for the young lady at the reception who did her best to explain why it was necessary, there should be a manager or somebody in that category taken care of episode like that, very very unprofessional, poor girl it just wasn`t fair at all. Again ok hotel but not totally impressed
