Very Good

Do NOT trust the description on Expedia app eg On beach. No itâs not on the beachâŠthatâs 3-4 minutes walk away and you have to walk through a DIFFERENT hotel to get to the beach.
The WiFi was so poor that it did not reach our room. So no internet or calls if you donât have an international cell.
Their internet also ran the TV in room so no internet - no TV.
Hereâs a big issue for my wife - The patio door did not lock for security. Every time the cleaners opened the door, as they could not lock it, they just left it open. The staff were not bothered than we wanted security for our belongings, just telling us âitâll be fine.
The safe buttons did not work - they had to give me a staff key to use.
The reception staff were not interested in addressing anything part from one lovely young man doing the night shift who tried his best to fix the internet to no avail.
The manager just made a ton of excuses and bordered being just rude.
And no chance for a relaxing drink at the âbarâ or enjoying a nice chilled glass of wine at dinner. This is a âDRYâ hotel. No alcohol is served on the premises. Which is fine, just not mentioned anywhere before one books!
As a seasoned traveller, the is not a 4 star hotel, barely a 3!
If you want a cold beer or refreshing mojito, you have to walk to the nearest bar a few minutes away - where the staff there were awesome. Shout out to Nungwi Park Resturant and Bar.

The stay was great because of Moana's wonderful service. Everything else was average. During rainy days they do not pay attention to detail and i slipped and fell on the stairs at breakfast which i did not like.

Goed hotel,aardig en heel behulpzaam personeel , comfortabel, op loopafstand van strand,en winkels en niet te vergeten de ATM,is naar mijn mening zeker een pluspunt. minpunt: slechte wifi.valt vaak zomaar uit,of de snelheid gaat als een JoJo heen en weer.
Personalen va helt underbara, sÄ gÀstvÀnliga. StÀdningen va super. Ok frukost. Mindre bra va att de glömde alltid att fylla pÄ toapapper och vÄra utemöbler bytte de 3 ggr pÄ en vecka. Musiken i baren va otroligt hög och vi hade vÄrat rum precis dÀr. Lakanan var noppiga och tÀckena va knöliga.
Das FĂŒhstĂŒck und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und toll. DasBet war sehr bequem, nicht zu hart und nicht durchgelegen. Das Einzige was genervt hat war, das der Roomservice öfters HandtĂŒcher oder Toillettenpapier vergessen hat und der Hahn der in den frĂŒhen Morgenstunden direkt neben uns am krĂ€hen war.Aber das ist jetzt jammern auf hohem Niveau...alles in allem war es super und wir wĂŒrden wieder kommen.

Stayed for one week with my family. Ordered a family room for 4 persons, got two rooms in stead. There are two hotel areas, unfortunatly we had the oldest part. Could be a nice place, but really need some upgrade! The pool here where dirty all the time. All the staff where serviceminded and kind.
