“Perfect Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This lovely rustic hotel is tucked away amid large shady trees and set in lush tropical gardens. This has to be Dar's biggest secret. I lived in Dar for 2 years and have visited more than a dozen times since leaving there and had only heard of the place once. The rooms are very clean and the bathroom was spotless and in good working order. The menu has to be the best in Dar with a wide variety of food cooked by a truly gifted chef. The dishes are pricey but I forgave that since I was so pleased with the accommodations. The staff couldn't have been nicer except for one woman on the desk who asked late one evening when I was paying. I had already paid for my accommodation and had yet to finish dinner. It made me angry as it seemed like perhaps I would creep away without paying for my food. Picture that, a middle aged lady humping down a dark Tanzanian road after mid-night just to escape paying her bill. Please! Otherwise the stay was without incident. I was happy to watch the tide come and go every day. Will I go back? ABSOLUTELY.

Room Tip: Ask for sea facing because it was where I stayed and it is a nice walk to the beach.

“Amazing.”

I went for dinner to Mediterraneo. The ambiance is way too amazing, I really fancied the atmosphere, very peaceful and tranquil. I was also very happy with the food. We ordered margarita and pizza, which was very tasty, although its pricey. But good things in life come with a price.

“Gorgeous accommodation in a natural setting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We only spent one night at Mediterraneo on our way to Zanaibar and wished we could've stayed longer. The rooms and property have been laid out in exquisite Zanzibarian style. The location with its personal patch of white sand powder beach is tranquil with a picture-perfect view. You're so close to the water line you almost fear the waves will wash up against the windows of the restaurant as you dine at high tide.

The price is the same as the upscale options in the city center, but the quality and enjoyment of your stay is exponentially higher. Highly recommended and would definitely come back again.

We spent just one night here after a late air arrival but the service was great, the room quiet, clean and comfortable. We awoke to a beautiful view of the ocean for breakfast at the restaurant.

“A taste of luxury at a competitive price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

The rooms are a little spartan, but the hotel, food and restaurant, the loungers directly next to the sea more than make up for any small shortcomings. And the food is wonderful, make sure to try the Prawn Cocktail starter, nothing you will have tried before, superb.
