Really enjoyed the hotel and the welcome rest we were able to enjoy during our stay
Pros:

The facilities and staff are excellent. Rooms are spacious and feel fresh!!! Aircon worked well. Although hotels in Nungwe all seem to attract criticism regarding Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi at Nungwe Dreams was strong and fast right through our stay and I was able to do Teams calls with video without any problems. The hotel's visitors info is really capable in terms of recommending transport and diving options.

Cons:

Perhaps the once criticism was the food which I would rate "good" compared to the "fantastic" experience we had otherwise. Although I can say the one evening when we were treated to a romantic dinner on the beach for my partner's birthday, the food was in fact excellent. Otherwise we found the food a bit boring and as a result, apart from breakfast, we took most meals at the nearby restaurants.

Definitely coming back
Pros:

Loved just about everything to be honest, I celebrated my birthday there, the sea view, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, pure gold. Plus a varied and delicious breakfast, great helpful and friendly staff. Definitely coming back.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi kept on jumping in and out, but the staff were patient and helped me fix it. I think maybe it had to do with the fact that our room was near the sea?

Prima hotel aan de oostkant van Nungwi, maar geen vijf sterren hotel waardig.
Pros:

Het hotel had twee zwembaden met een prachtig uitzicht op zee. Een rustige omgeving en locatie aan de oostkant van Nungwi.
Personeel was vriendelijk en het eten was goed maar erg prijzig. Kamers waren ruim en schoon. De WiFi deed het prima zowel op de kamers als bij het zwembad.

Cons:

De douche bij kamer 405 was erg matig. Wij gaven door dat de temperatuur van de douche erg heet werd en als wij het naar koud draaide was de waterdruk te laag. De douchekop werd uiteindelijk vervangen maar de temperatuur van het water was of erg heet of erg koud. De smart tv deed het vaak niet waardoor we niet altijd Netflix konden kijken wanneer er geen verbinding was met het internet.
Het ontbijtbuffet was oke, maar qua warme gerechten was er erg weinig variatie.
Het hotel labeld zichzelf als een vijf sterren hotel, echter was de kwaliteit meer van een goede vier sterren hotel.

We had a wonderful stay
Pros:

The food was lovely, the views, extra amazing. appreciated the lovely anniversary gesture.

Cons:

Pool access ending at 6 pm considering we spent most of our days out exploring so it would have been lovely to come back in the evening and enjoy the pool facilities into the evening. The water pressure in the showers can also be improved

It was an amazing solo vacation for me. I simply loved my stay, thank you so much.
Pros:

The hotel is amazing, very beautiful, clean, all the staff are very welcoming, kind and extremely helpful.
Breakfast was good, there was quite a variety of items to choose from. Dinner was great too, especially on my last night I enjoyed the a la carte, the strawberry cheese cake dessert made my night.

The rooms are so spacious, organized, clean, the bed was very comfortable, the pillows were just perfect. I loved how they would make different shapes every time they made the bed, very cute. I also appreciated the Happy Birthday message on the bed when I arrived.
A big bathroom, his & hers sinks, the shower is so good with enough water which makes it so enjoyable.

You are spoiled for choice when it comes to the pool; my favourite was the infinity one because it is such an amazing view as if it's connected to the sea. I also enjoyed a short beach walk.

Cons:

I can't complain much but maybe add more variety of food on the menu, cultural dishes if possible to enable guests to sample different dishes.

The cocktails are good but there's room for improvement; also the bar can stay open for a little bit longer for those who don't sleep early.
