Book a hotel near Bongoyo Island, Dar es Salaam

"Great"

"The hotel is quite clean, the breakfast is excellent, the Wi-Fi can be very erratic, the staff are helpful, and mosquitoes can be challenging. I had no major issue except for WIFI and the chef packing the breakfast without a coutesy of infoming guest still eating that he was ablout to clear out the breakfast. His colleagues apologised for this, but he was quite rude about it. I enjoyed my stay overall and would stay again if i find myself there."

"Very clean, relaxing, and amazing dining staff. Reception could use better training however. For example, I wanted to buy water outside the hotel and I was told the only place to buy water was a market two miles away. However while walking I passed by local street vendors selling water just a few yards from the hotel. Also hot water went out of my room on ky final night. I had to call for updates every few hours because reception never proactively updated me. Even when I was promised updates I never got one I even checked out without ever receiving an update on the issue. Dining staff needs to train reception. The dining staff comes to work with their A game. But reception is sleep at the wheel "

"Was nice affordable stay "

" The morning breakfast staff was amazing. The room was well-appointed and very clean. The restaurants on the property were excellent. Would highly recommend this hotel. Ocean view's were spectacular."

"White Sands Hotel is a fairly large and truly beautiful resort. Not for a single second did I regret choosing this property for my stay in Dar es Salaam. The entire complex is very clean and regularly well maintained, and the same can be said about the room. I appreciated having a refrigerator in the room; however, the overall equipment was rather basic — for example, there was no iron or hairdryer. That said, the balcony and the stunning sea view more than compensated for these minor shortcomings. Breakfast was excellent every morning, offering a wide selection of local, English, and continental options. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and freshly squeezed juices. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. A small downside is the presence of crows, which won’t hesitate to snatch a bite from your breakfast or lunch if you leave your table unattended outdoors. Weekends can also be somewhat noisy due to social events such as weddings held at the resort, which might be slightly disturbing for some guests. That said, I would be very happy to return to this resort on my next visit to Tanzania."
