Der Raum war groß. Die meisten Steckdosen haben funktioniert. Lage direkt am Strand. Personal war sehr freundlich. Spa war sauber. Auch wenn das Frühstück mangelhaft war, so wurde doch an zwei Tagen in einer Woche, etwas zusätzliches auf das Büffet gestellt. In der Woche war die laute Musik gegen 18 Uhr ausgestellt. Am Wochenende sehr laute Musik vom Nachbarrestaurant bis Mitternacht. Wasser aus Dusche und Waschbecken war salziges Meerwasser. Wasser in der Küchenspüle funktionierte nicht. Wegen des Salzwassers machte der Wasserkocher im Zimmer keinen Sinn. Im Zimmer kein Wlan Empfang !!! Nur draußen gab es an wenigen Orten ausreichenden Wlan Empfang, mit niedriger Datenrate, meistens unter 10 kb/s. Die Tischdecken im Restaurant/Frühstücksraum wurden einmal die Woche gewechselt. Entsprechend viele Flecken von Essensresten darauf. Als ich mich an einen Tisch setzen wollte, liefen sehr kleine Tiere über die Tischdecke. Die Essenspreise im Restaurant waren höher als in den Restaurants/Hotels direkt daneben. Und nebenan war es sauberer. Limonaden waren günstiger. Das Frühstück war wie in vielen Hotels in Daressalaam mangelhaft. Jeden Tag dasselbe bei wenig Auswahl. Der Boden des Pools war grün von Algen. Blätter der Bäume wurden selten entfernt. Diese lagen auf dem Boden des Pools.

Think twice...and then think again.

The staff was quite friendly, but they were not equipped to handle needs and repairs. Almost everywhere we turned, things were broken and didn't work--lights, door latches, tv remotes, ceiling fans. The beach was absolutely filthy, with garbage piling up and even washing onto the grounds each high tide and not being picked up right away. Food poisoning from the restaurant ended up with us at a clinic. Terrible experience

The rooms need upgrading in terms of furniture, beds and bathrooms. the tv channels were not entertaining. The hotel is next to an entertainment place with alot of noise especially during weekends. The beach is not so clean as well

Great place to stay and I will be back

The place is great and i will recommend anyone to go there. I was given a standard room instead of the double deluxe paid for but after discussing with management, i got the deluxe room. Very spacious, flat screen tv, very good AC, kitchen space etc. There is room for improvements especially the beds.

3泊しました

イメージ写真とはちょっと違うところもありました。バスタブは全部屋にあるわけではなく、ホテル前のビーチはゴミが散乱していてすごく汚くて泳げない。少し歩くと綺麗なビーチはありました。また、部屋に冷蔵庫がなかったのでボトルの水はぬるかったです。レストランや受付の方々はみなさん親切で良かったです。
