Hotel room was poor, general condition needed lifting, cobwebs, flaking paint, stained bed linen in places, paper thin pillows, mattress needs upgrading please, generally needed some investment as the beach was very nice. It has a useful restaurant, bar, its main feature is the generous thatched roof over the building. Staff were very willing. I loved its location, less muzungu tourists, lovely beach. The pool looked ominous bredda.

Best Resort / Hotel in Dar Es Salaam!
Amazing location, friendly staff, professional manager on site... And literally 100 feet away from the ocean! Amenities: *hot water *free wifi *swimming pool *restaurant *bar *mosquito nets *room service or large beautiful outdoor dining area *beach front property!! *Daily housekeeping Great for a romantic getaway, business trip, or family vacation with young children. It's just minutes away from major shopping malls, grocery stores and banks / atms for your convenience. This resort also has a full professional kitchen with several chefs each specializing in various generas of food which is why thier menu successfully encompasses American, Asian, Indian and Italian cuisine. If you're visiting Tanzania, make sure to go to Kigamboni..... And when you visit Kigamboni, don't even think about going anywhere else or you'll be missing out on an amazing experience!

Not worth it
The picture of the Hotel they have on the website is misleading: the beach is not directly in from of the hotel: you must walk 200m or so, passing in the swimmingpool area first (so no sand close to the hotel). The food and anything else is extremely overpriced compared to its value. Surprisingly you pay 15000 tzs for a juice (from carton), whereas in the previous 3* hotel where I was I could pay 15000 for juice (the same one) plus a complete meal.

This was the best holiday of my life. South Beach hotel has the most amazing atmosphere, especially on a Saturday night. And to top it off, the food was incredible; the staff were super-helpful (and spoke good English) and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Only better for Beach experience not Hotel
It was terrible. Far from the ferries, they dont have transportation for guests, terrible staffing at night because when I arrived there almost everyone was asleep. I did not get any food because they dont do that service over night and the room condition is just very mediocre like a cheap hostel room. The food the following day was overpriced for no reason at all because for breakfast was simply very plain fried eggs and expensive tosts, and even there is no any professional customer care whats so ever. I would not go back there for a hotel experience or stay overnight. I would simply just go for a fresh expensinve Beach experience because they have it nice there but super expensive again.

A Wonderful Surprise!
I was a bit unsure of the hotel do to the mixed nature of the reviews but decided to give it a shot, and what a great surprise! The location is awesome and the staff all smiling and warm ready to assist at anything they can. The food was delicious, their barbecue chicken (reshmi kebab?) and the indian dishes were fantastic. I am a curry lover and the tikka masala was just great! The breakfast was a surprise too as they brought out a local indian bread that is not only great to look at (puffed up like a balloon when it arrives) but went great with the eggs. The rooms are decent sized, a little bit on the older side, but very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were average. Overall, I will definitely return for the location, the staff, the food and the beautiful pool and white sandy beaches.

beach resort
We booked this place for one overnight in Dar Es Salaam. We thought it was close to the airport and it really wasn't and you had to take a ferry across an inlet to get to s. beach where this place is. Took us two hours to get there including the ferry time. If you have multiple nights to stay there, I think it would be a cool place to land yourself and get out of the city and hang on the beach. This place reminded me of a beach resort.

Excellent beach front location and helpful staff
After a long and challenging day in Dar es Salaam we were met by friendly staff who bent over backwards to accomodate our needs. We enjoyed a splendid meal and a few drinks at the well equipped bar and the management made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable, and even offered to assist us with our early morning transportation requirements. The setting of the hotel, and the quaint ferry ride across the bay helps you forget that you are near the chaos of the city, and if I am ever back in Dar I would be happy to stay at South Beach again.

Avoid South Beach Resort, if you are on business !
First of all, it was a wrong choice I made while booking b'coz it is a Hotel for holidaying / relaxing whereas the purpose of my visit was business. The room looked good in pic. in the internet - which was the culprit; so I did not take any more pics. ! The rooms are not cozy ( the bed was full of insect drop outs ) & the shower & taps were not working, later I changed the room, which was slightly better for these items. However, in the evening this entire place was full of energy with music & dance with 100's of people all over the place ! Again, on Sunday the loud music starts in the morning which goes on upto 10.30 P.M. non-stop ! Then the approach from A'port / city is a nightmare as every time you need to cross the sea back waters by a ferry which would take > an hour on both directions. Also this place is very far from the a'port & they charge $50/- & $40/- to any other place in the city, whereas it is $3/- max. for all other cabs in city !! This is absolute cheating !

HOTEL IS 1.5 HOURS FROM THE AIRPORT HOTEL INFESTED WITH BED BUGS AND MOSQUITOS STALE FOOD SERVED IN THE RESTAURANT SERVICE STAFF INEFFICIENT AND UNTRAINED WIFI IS 10000 TZ FOR ONE HOUR. THE UPKEEP OF THE FACILITY MAKES IT APPEAR LIKE A FILTHY TRAIN STATION THAN A RESORT. THE INDIAN MANAGER WHO IS INCHARGE OF THE UPKEEP IS ARROGANT AND HAS AN ATTITUDE. A WEBSITE LIKE EXPEDIA.COM SHOULD DROP THIS HOTEL FROM THE SEARCH ALTOGETHER.

Afstressende.
Vi (min mand og jeg) havde nogle meget hyggelige og afslappende dage på hotellet. Personalet er meget venlige og vil gøre alt for at gøre os tilfredse. Maden er super og specielt i weekenderne kommer der mange besøgende til stedet, -isaer for at benytte poolen. Poolen rengøres jævnligt og generelt er rengøring og service udmærket til prisen. Vi kunne kun være trygge ved at bestille taxi via hotellet og f.eks få følgeskab ind til den lille by der ligger ca.400meter fra hotellet. Her kan man se det lokale markeder og div. håndværk i fuld aktivitet. der er mulighed for at købe malerier og div. batik. Stranden er speciel, da der er meget aendring pga. tidevandet. Der samles let meget tang og andet (desværre også plastik fra skibene på havet) ved højvande og det ligger på stranden når der er lavvand. Men vandet er klart og med store bølger man kan ride på. Et skoentstedvi gerne kommer tilbage til. Lars og Gitte

Hankalassa paikassa
Olin marraskuun alussa South Beach Resortin lähes ainoa asukas, eikä ihme, hotelli sijaitsee sen verran hankalan (lautta)matkan takana. Hotelli hinnoittelee juomat ja ruuat yläkanttiin - mikä onkin helppoa sillä asukkaan on hankala niitä muualtakaan hankkia. Eli jos menet niin ota riittävästi ainakin pullovettä mukaan. Ranta ihan ok, mutta hotelli varoittelee vierailijoita kävelemästä "väärään suuntaan". Hotellin vartioinnista ei tullut itselle turvallinen vaan turvaton olo.
