The pool area and the beach are great. The rooms clean, nice and big. The lunch a la carte was good food. the breakfast OK but a little bit boring, the dinner buffets were not that good. The gym OK. The spa visit was a complete disaster. Overall, a little bit uneven service. Staff yawning at the reception, asked for an extra towel to the room but could not get it etc.

Rachel/calvin G. /. K. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The resort is extremely fine. It’s not horrible but I also would not recommend. The one bright spot are the staff, who were great. The prices for food and drinks are more than the other hotels nearby and the food was very disappointing. We had both dinner buffet and breakfast and neither were very good. The WiFi basically never worked so the hotel should not advertise that they have it. My phone would never stay connected and when it did, it was about 1 bar. This was mostly a challenge because the hotel, restaurants, and tours arrange everything over WhatsApp. We also had the hotel arrange a boat tour which just included a guy who could not speak English driving us up and down the beach. The pool area was nice but the beach is fairly unusable because of all the coral and sea urchins, so you can’t really swim in the ocean.

Dear Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honest comments and are pleased to hear that our team made a positive impression during your stay — your kind words about our staff mean a great deal to us. We are sorry to learn that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Your feedback regarding food quality, pricing, and WiFi connectivity is taken very seriously. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the unstable internet connection; we understand how important reliable WiFi is, especially as many services and arrangements are coordinated digitally. Be assured that this is an area we are actively working to improve. We regret that the dining experience and the boat excursion did not meet your expectations. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams so we can review and enhance both our culinary offerings and the quality of external activities arranged for our guests. Regarding the beach conditions, Nungwi is a natural coastline, and certain areas are affected by coral and sea urchins depending on tides and seasons. We do our best to inform guests and provide guidance on the safest swimming spots nearby. Once again, thank you for your feedback. It helps us identify areas where we can improve, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a better experience. Kind regards, Nungwi Dreams by Mantis Team.
