Pros:

Breakfast was very limited and had not much choice for vegetarian.

Cons:

Could have kept all the fruits in separate platters instead of combing them
All together. Give a choice of coffees instead of only filter coffee

Can't fault the hotel or staff, but location needs a few years to develop into a proper resort area
Pros:

Really nice clean hotel, high standard, nice rooftop pool/ rooftop terrace!

Cons:

Not that close to a proper beach, like it said when booking.
Location around the hotel needs a few years of development because other than Slipway limited places to go out to or to go eat at nearby.

Beautiful Accomodation But Attempts to Defraud You. Be careful
Pros:

Accommodation is beautiful and clean!!!!

Cons:

Unfortunately, almost immediately after checking out someone from the hotel messaged me on WhatsApp with a link to confirm my credit card information to scam money from me. The requester posed as the administrator of the hotel who knew all of the details about my stay - meaning this is someone from inside of the hotel.

Pros:

L'emplacement, le design, le rooftop...

Cons:

Mauvaise isolation acoustique des chambres, on entend trop les bruits de la circulation.
Une barre aurait aussi été intéressante dans la salle de sport.

Une belle pause à Dar es Saalam
Pros:

C’est un très bon hotel que je recommande. Le personnel est à notre écoute et s’assure qu’on ne manque de rien. La propreté était irréprochable et la vue sur le rooftop superbe. J’ai adoré cette courte pause. Les cocktails étaient très bons. Les chambres étaient bien équipées.

Cons:

Je n’ai rien à signaler à ce niveau.
