The vaccions of my life

I really enjoyed my 11-day stay. The staff were incredibly kind, and whenever something came up, it was taken care of right away. The food and the location were outstanding. I give it my highest recommendations and will definitely return at some point.

The staff were kind,the property is clean and we'll kept but the WIFI is the worst we had to go down to the pool to get good WIFI. The TV doesn't work it took the maintenance group of the hotel a whole hour and a half to download Netflix on the TV and still it didn't work so surprise of how no one could fix it. My daughter and I watched movies on our phone and we had to go download and come watch. It's not good for the people who want to go for a holiday and work online.

Not at all as expected or depicted

The hotel wasn’t at all as expected from photos, reviews and its 5 star rating. The whole place is run down and poorly maintained, our rooms smelled strongly of damp/mould, it wasn’t particularly clean, there was a leak from the toilet and no water pressure in the shower or hot water. We ended up checking out and going to another hotel, despite our stay being non-refundable. The breakfast wasn’t impressive either, unfortunately. The staff were polite and did offer to fix the water pressure and move us to another room once it became available. Maybe that would have been better but our overall impressions were already so disappointing, in comparison to our expectations. It’s also important to note that the beach isn’t nice to swim on. There are a lot of rocks and corals so it’s not sandy as the pictures suggest.

The property is nice, cute rooftop, good was good. Downside: the area surrounding is not the safest, you can’t enjoy the beach in front because there are people trying to sell stuff aaaaaall the time and there are way too many sea urchins there (bring water shoes); WiFi is almost nonexistent.

Dream at Nungwi Dreams

Perfect ocean view and sound of the waves made for restful sleep at night. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Sometimes it was difficult to get the shower going but once it did, very hot. There’s a slight ant problem getting into the rooms.
