Pros +
- Gorgeous landscaping and a spectacular ocean view right from the room. Also, an incredibly delicious buffet breakfast with large variety of choices. Rooms manager very personable and helpful.
- The views
- The employees were great. Very clean and comfortable rooms, beautiful grounds and nice pools.
Cons -
- The crows at breakfast.
- Disappointed with the food. Dry fish, few choices. The crows ruined every meal. We needed a doctor and were transported in a run down, dirty vehicle and an unprofesssional driver.
- During our booking we paid for a bed and breakfast but to our surprise ,we were again asked to pay for same breakfast because we needed room service ??

I loved the ocean view ,hospitable staff and when when we opted for a late check out it was effortlessly granted ,thank you white sands ?.Thanks to the assistance rendered to us when we needed to get to the boat taking us to Budya Island.
During our booking we paid for a bed and breakfast but to our surprise ,we were again asked to pay for same breakfast because we needed room service ??
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Room was immaculate and service was prompt.t
The iron needs replacing. Room should be sprayed for mosquito's every day.
Location Friendly staff
Iron and ironing boards not readily available to all guestsOld antiquated irons kept with tapes on the wires, against health and safety Service is very slow
The facilities are great. excellent location. The swimming pool, the staff were polite and professional
The meals were not continental and diverse as expected. Limited options,
The place. The gym and the pool area.
Service in general. Slow service. VERY Slow at times.
Good breakfast with many options, nice food in the restaurant as well. Comfy beds and spacious rooms. Friendly staff who are always there to help a hand. Free access to Water World which is a nice place for kids to slide in the pool. Also the pools near the hotel are nice with the option of getting food and drinks. One pool is also open for locals, while the other pool is only for hotel guests.
If you want to enjoy the beach you might be a bit disappointed because at this side of Dar Es Salaam the beaches and water are usually dirty. Even though they are always hard working to take all the litter away! Even though the view and the lovely sea breeze is still there! And if you want to swim just enjoy the pools!
The location
The hotel is very dirty and there are mosquitos everywhere ,the mosquito nets ate so dirty and worn out. The staff are so slow i kept on trying to ask for room service but no one answered the telephone.
The bed was very comfortable, great view of the garden and beach. The breakfast had a ton of variety, and all the staff were well trained and friendly.
Just be aware that there are a lot of events happening at the hotel during weekends.
breakfast was super. exceeded expectations
food and the hospitalityHotel staff made a birthday cake for my children and they decorated the rooms
We arrived late in the night, but we were well placed in our rooms. The staff was always at hand. The location is great (by the shore), and the lawns are well-manicured. The rooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable, with a balcony.
A part of the property hasn't been filtered from the ocean's tide garbage, and the hotel seems overwhelmed and doesn't even clean it up. That was the part where our rooms were. It was such an eye-sore and smelly, too. Hopefully, they work it out. There was a booking error that the hotel couldnt help with booking.com, so we got charged an extra night by booking.com and also paid the same at the hotel.
Access to the clean beach and good food
Room was a bit far from restaurant, otherwise loved everything else
Good location very nice
The staff were terrible. Very bad service, unhelpful you have to go to the manager to get things done.
Beautiful views, staff, food and the room.
Yesbit was fantastic especially the beach swing
The front desk service was alil slow
The location to the city is a bit far but not bad. The views from the room were gorgeous!
Everything about our stay was great! We had 5 nights so there was no rush for anything.
Facilities were amazing with beachfront view and great swimming pool, beachfront restaurant
Food was OK and room service was really slow
Wonderful view with a lot of space to move around as always. The renovation was a must and it works especially at the rooms and toilets. The dinner was perfect and the live music was another level.
