Als het goed is ga je een tweede keer. Alles was goed: het weer, de natuur, de mensen. De accommodatie is ook zeer goed bevallen: prettig en vriendelijk personeel en een goede keuken. Het verblijf voldeed aan de verwachtingen. Het boeken van excursies was in goede mate aanwezig met vervoer vanaf Dhow Inn

Negativ. Wlan im Zimmer ist Katastrophe. Privatpool wurde nie gereinigt und ist immer voll mit Insekten. All in Clusive bekommen eine Speisekarte mit wenig Auswahl. Im allgemeinen ist die Anlage etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Privater Strand ist nicht direkt am Hotel.

Our stay at the Dow Inn has been overall mixed feelings but more towards disappointing. I will lay out, the good, the bad and the ugly regarding this resort. First, food is very good, the buffet, to the lunch menu, well seasoned, very tasty and well presented fresh food. They have a great selection for vegan and vegetarians. The property is pretty nice very well maintained pools very clean and the rooms are very comfortable. The bad is that the items are quite limited in my opinion especially on the breakfast and dinner which are a small buffet. Furthermore during lunch you're only allowed to order one menu item and one dessert from a select menu only. limited overall. The ugly is that in comparison to all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean or for instance Dominican Republic you don't get a lot for your money. There no watersports included, there no shows, there's no organized games, there is no dance lessons so in comparison to the Caribbean it's just pretty much minimum. And if you're not much of a drinker then the all-inclusive is really a huge waste here being there so many items are considered a la cart or extra charge. Additionally, if your order from the bar outside of designated hours its also a charge. Even your room bar is only free upon check-in any refills of the 4 sodas or 2 bottle of beer is also a charge. We also paid extra for a room with a private pool and the word "private" was used very loosely.kids and their parents were able to see us

Pros about this hotel is the staff are excellent and extremely friendly and helpful and always serve you with a smile(makes you feel good!) Cons about this hotel are that there is isnt much entertainment in the evenings, the service of drinks/food could be abit faster considering it is a small complex. Could have more (hot) food options for breakfast. But overall 8.5/10

Good quality hotel

In general Good quality hotel! The term Boutique hotel is a bit overrated though, for this the buffet food and service at the meals is too average. Rooms are nice and good quality but here and there maintenance is partly lacking. Nice Bungalows in a good area with restaurants and beach nearby. Friendly staff and good management.

Bon établissement

Séjour très agréable dans un environnement calme avec un personnel très souriant et aimable. Bien situé, je recommande. Dommage pour un hôtel 4 étoiles qu’il n’y ait pas de télévision dans la chambre, 2 grandes serviettes et 1 toute petite serviette par chambre ni de mouchoirs Kleenex

Very good hotel.

Very good hotel. Super clean, very friendly and helpful staff. It is not luxurious, simple but with good taste and quality. Towels for the room, pool and beach. We booked with breakfast and dinner, the breakfast was of quality, without exaggeration, the dinner of excellent quality, varied and delicious dishes. Drinks reasonably priced, not exaggerated like other hotels. It is not directly on the beach, a few meters back, but it has a reserved area on the beach with sunbeds and service. The hotel is ideal for those who want to practice kite surfing or simply walk along the white sand beach. If you want to eat outside the hotel, there are options close by on the beach. The photos match the reality

Cozy stay!

When in Tanzania, stay away from the big resorts. Try to choose a place with less rooms, and boutique. The chances are that you will not be happy with the food, no matter where you stay, the pizza and sushi in this place though will go down perfectly! The best rooms are ok at this place but the last night we switched to the standard rooms and these, 200usd per night, I would say is a bit too much. Otherwise, the hotel is cozy and right by the beach. It is a shame though that the beach is trashed with litter - this could be fixed (in the areas next to the hotel).

Beautiful hotel

Love the location and overall the hotel is well maintained. I just didn't like so much light in the room (no blackout) and food was average. Everything else is excellent, especially the staff. Very clean and super safe!
