"A beautiful, well-maintained hotel. The staff are very friendly and constantly cleaning something. Beautiful plants and space design.
The downsides, which ultimately didn't bother us at all, were the lack of a TV in the room. But on the bright side, our minds got to rest and we went to bed earlier. There's a TV in the common area where we all happily watched football with other guests. Plus, there's a fridge, which isn't available in all hotels.
There's a power issue affecting the entire hotel, but it's more of an administrative/city problem rather than the hotel's fault. However, the hotel was quick to resolve it every time 👍🏼. The hotel is very quiet. There aren't many rooms, so there's little noise from guests. If you truly need a break from everything, this is the place for you. We like to stay in different locations for 3-4 days at a time. Here, we really caught up on our sleep. The hotel manager is a pleasant man; he'll approach you, greet you, ask if everything's alright, and solve any problems.
We opted for breakfast, as we don't eat during the day and usually go out to town in the evening. Breakfast was standard: omelet, sausages, buns with jam, fruit, simple tea, coffee – perfectly sufficient for breakfast, nothing fancy, but you won't go hungry.
We walked to town along the shore (safe ☝🏼👍🏼, 20 mins) because the car road was very dusty and noisy! Then we turned onto a path between hotels and came out onto the main road, walking along that. In town, you can buy coconuts for 2000 tzs, beer, find a currency exchange, and so on. The village is small and still developing, but if you ask locals, you'll find everything you need. The people are very responsive. You can have lunch or dinner with various cuisines at the food court. The hotel's all-inclusive supplement is $50 per person, which is expensive. We had dinner for two at a neighboring hotel for $25 (spaghetti and a Buddha bowl) ☝🏼.
Overall, we were very happy with the hotel.
Yes, there are low tides, but you just have to accept it and wait. But what a pleasure the beach and its beauty are in the second half of the day! Incredible! In the evening, the lighting is unique, and the beach becomes simply magical. In short, we were satisfied. Portesl la playa - thank you for the rest 🙏🏼🤗"
