Hotels in Tanzania

Staff, facilities and the property itself is amazing. We stayed there on our way from Dar to Mwanza. We stayed with two of our small dogs. Food was good too. They even packed our breakfast early in the morning as per request. Would love to visit again.

If only we could rate more than 10. It was much better than the other 10s we rated (when we rated 10). It was, by far, the best place we stayed in all of our 2-month honeymoon in all of Africa. As we came, the hosts welcomed us so warmly that we felt they expected only us all the years they were here. We got welcome drinks and snacks - a fine wine and very good Samosas, served on the beautiful balcony in front of the ocean. All our bags (5, heavy) were carried without saying anything, with a big smile and good vibes. In our spacious room, we noticed a nice map of Zanzibar, marked with places of interest around (which we used, almost all of them), a welcome note, and welcome gifts! Cute bracelets that we still wear. Since we came in a hot season, the room was also equipped with an extra-strong fan, which was just what we needed as I'm sensitive to the hit. The beach was ridiculously close since it was the high tide, so we spent a few hours in the water. The dinner and lunch (extra, but fair prices, excellent quality, taste, and variety) were amazing. So tasty, and the options were all great and varied. We also had a bottle of SA wine, a fair price, and we liked it. Breakfast was yummy. Just everything you need - eggs, coffee, juice, toast, pancakes/chapati with guacamole and a fruit plate. I don't know how they do it, but the staff is so friendly and helpful. Important: I have Celiac, so I need gluten-free food. In all of Africa it was usually an issue, but not here. They made sure that I always had a variety of delicious options, even really creative ones like coconut rice bread for breakfast or hamburger. In the afternoon they invited us to a boat cruise (free!), to swim & snorkel in three different spots. During the cruise, they serve wine, water, and sodas, also free. They also have snorkeling gear, which we used all day long, and canoes, which we didn't have the time to use😞 It's these details that made our stay so calm and fun.

This place is a gem! A new hotel with a big heart, right by the ocean, surrounded by peaceful gardens and a stunning pool. The rooms are spacious and stylish, the breakfast is fresh and delicious, and very friendly staff. The connection to the hospitality school is inspiring—it's not just a great stay, it’s also supporting something meaningful.. It’s rare to find a place that feels this good in every way. Thank you, Palmera!

Breakfast was very good, every Day you get something else! Beach is only few minutes to walk. Highly recommended!

You can hear the sea from your bedroom. Charming, great staff, beautiful beach. Jacklyn was great and deserves special mention. Location!! Great restaurants a few meters away, reachable walking in the sand beach. Overrated “The Rock” and beautiful “Balading”.

A boutique hotel that exceeded all our expectations: the beach front location, the smiling staff and the fresh local food.

The staff and the hotel owner, Ersoy, were incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay at Pangani Cliffs! The staff and managers went above and beyond to make us feel truly welcome and cared for. The food was outstanding, every day brought a new dish prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also arranged a fantastic boat trip to Maziwe Island, where we had a great time. We loved exploring the reef at low tide, unwinding by the pool, and enjoying delicious cocktails with a breathtaking ocean view. I would highly recommend spending at least 2-3 days here, as there are plenty of activities to enjoy and discover. 😍

Nice location. Beautiful swimming pool. Kind staffs. Everything is nice.

The villa with its big terra and the beach

Can’t beat the location, food, or staff. Truly a 10/10
