+: Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true. As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way. To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.

-: You can't have it all. The hotel is not in the crowded city therefore most usual (for European) options of shopping are not around. On the other hand you have all necesities inside the hotel.

+: Detta var vårt första hotell på vår bröllopsresa och det var helt fantastiskt! Inte nog med att vi fick en uppgradering till det bästa rummet närmast stranden, de överraskade oss med en magisk enskild middag på stranden. Det var så himla fint!Vårt rum var jättefint och hade allt vi behövde, svalt och skönt med AC, bra kylskåp att ha vatten i, och välstädat. Buffén och frukost tyckte vi var god och det fanns mycket att välja på.Stranden, den var så vacker, och det gick att bada även vid lågvatten om man gick ut en bit. Vi tyckte Sultan Sands var en riktig pärla, om vi ska nämna något så var sängen lite hård för oss, men som sagt, 10 av 10!

-: Inget

Olaf61 Rest 18.10.2023

+: Sehr gepflegte Anlage mit freundlichen Personal. Ideal um ein paar Tage bei vollem Komfort am Strand zu entspannen. Größe der Zimmer. Halbpension voll ausreichend.

-: Extrem schlechter Umrechenkurs von TZS in US-Dollar (laut Oanda 2495 TZS1 US-Dollar) und extrem hohe (für Tansania) kosten für Getränke. Bezahlung mit Kreditkarte nur in US-Dollar (für 2200 TZS1 $) nicht in TZS. WLan im Gastronomiebereich und auch Strand gut. Leider nicht nutzbar in meinem Zimmer (war für mich ein Auswahlkriterium.

Erinna Rest 17.10.2023

+: Kindness of staff, especially Fatma. She really went the extra miles to ensure our stay was perfect. The food was varied and excellent, so were the evening shows. A lot of activities taking place in the resort in addition to excursions also arranged by the hotel... And if you do have time, you need to try the herbal thai massage.

-: Check-in experience a bit stressful as front desk could not find my booking made on booking.com. The hotel went to extra length however to accomodate me. Even benefitted from a massive upgrade.

Galane Rest 06.10.2023

-: The hotel room doors are old and broken. You will see lizards by your rooms which is so scary. Most of the staff and servers need a tip for their each service, if you don’t give them a tip they will try you badly.
