Amani Beach Hotel

Excellent location on a beautiful beach. Comfortable bungalows in a well maintained green garden

This place is really amazing. Whenever I have family in town we come here. The beach is beautiful and expansive - perfect for long walks and swimming when the tide is high. Nice pool and large clean rooms. And the service is outstanding with friendly staff and management whenever needed. Will continue to come back!

An isolated haven just outside Dar. Small resort with gorgeous beach setting. Lovely bungalows right on the beach with a pool as well. Delicious food and the host makes a point of making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The hard part about this hotel is the journey. The last mile is a dirt road, but the upside is that there is no traffic, no noise. The property is pretty isolated, but on an amazing beach. The rooms are separate bungalows. It is not luxury, with a few needed fixes that Ashray, the manager and his team are working on, but the attentive service and personalized meals made this trip worthwhile. The first few days we had the property to ourselves, except for a few zealous monkeys that would come around the pool and breakfast. We enjoyed the pool next to the beach and the serenity this place provided. Our only issue was the airport taxi driver who insisted on showing up although we canceled our return trip via Ashray. I would advise not catching any taxi from the airport since they colluded and printed a pricesheet showing quadruple the normal taxi prices. Thanks Ashray for dealing with this and for a wonderful, personalized stay.

Positives: Location - Privacy / Secluded - nice clean empty beach to walk in mornings and evenings - although didn't manage to find any snorkelling possibility due to low tide rocks (limited activities options & Cliff walk was not possible due to a stray dog around the resort) Large resort but leading to feelings of not much security - in and outs are random Large bungalow style rooms and good AC / facilities in room (lots of sockets, kettle, small fridge, no power cuts, warm water in shower, massive beds) - all bungalows are sea view and no TV! Some "gems" in the staff which great you with a smile and make you feel welcome Monkey visits provided for fun distraction Negatives: Food - not good value for money, quality average (over oily, although announced grilled most were fried) and mis-charged bill - poor options (would recommend to have seasonal and local food than overpriced "western-catered" food) - feel "forced" to think upfront what to order for the next meal and what time. Fresh Juice was made fresh after asking "outside of menu" - thank you! Average housekeeping (no evening mosquito net preparation - up to you to manage!) and mixed attendance at the restaurants (order confusions) No phone in room to call reception (need multiple back-forth to find attendance)

This is a lovely place right on the beach about an hour's drive from Dar city centre, depending on the route (Kinondoni ferry or the new Bridge) and the traffic. There are only 10 rooms, all of which are large and have a private veranda overlooking the sea. The gardens are lovely and you can walk along the beach without any hassle. It is a perfect weekend get-away, but it does get busy at weekends. You have a good chance to see some monkeys and baboons while you are there, and while you are lazing on the beach, you can watch the fishermen and the dows. The place could do with a bit of TLC, but it was immaculately clean, and the manager was at hand, happy to chat and put things right where necessary. A great place to chill!

It is really a nice place, in tranquil surroundings with an astonishing beach. With only 10 villas and no other settlements around you will have a paradise for yourself. Albeit the rooms are a bit dated, they are huge and clean. Hotel grounds and gardens are very well kept. The pool is warm and clean. Food is pleasant. Grilled octopus was of outstanding quality by any highest standards. Very attentive staff. But the true asset of this hotel is its manager – Ashray. I’ve never seen more welcoming and caring person. He can accommodate any request and solve any problem you might have. Thank you, Ashray, we are looking forward to seeing you sometime again!

We spent an amazing time in this hotel. It is far from all, the beach is safe and very nice. The swimming pool is directly accessible and clean. Rooms are nice, large and well decorated. Cleaning of the bathroom could be improved. The food is great and service at high standard

我們現在已經去過附近的阿瑪尼酒店6 / 7次，從未失望離場。達爾的公路現在好多了，因為新橋和離旅館更近的幾公里的柏油馬路。然而，從主要道路到酒店（3/4公里）的軌道，但仍然很困難——你可能需要一輛有高輪子的車如果你不想撞到你的車底！酒店的員工非常出色，對細節和你的每一個需求都很關注！很明顯他們受過良好的訓練。廚師是一流的，價格公道，品質一流。酒店的設定和現狀以及推廣的方式是完美的。對我們來説——這是我們在坦桑尼亞最喜歡的酒店，也是我們希望再回來的地方。
