I recently stayed at this very beautiful resort, and I can't say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. The resort is stunning—immaculately maintained with beautiful landscaping, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear water. Our room had breathtaking ocean views and was clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. Every morning we woke up to the sound of the waves and enjoyed coffee on our private balcony. The food was excellent, especially the fresh seafood and tropical cocktails at the beachside bar. What really stood out was the variety of activities available—snorkeling, paddleboarding, yoga on the beach, and even sunset cruises. Whether you're looking to relax or be active, this place has it all. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone in need of a relaxing escape. We’re already planning our next visit!

Had a great stay at the Joleen Safari Park Hotel. The Owner and staff are very professional and helpful in this new small hotel, which is well maintained and peaceful.There was always staff there 24 hours a day if you needed anything. I had some amazing local dishes for dinner but they would make what you like. The beaches are close by, beautiful, clean and empty , except for a for local fisherman. I had a few nice surf sessions and arranged though the hotel a cheap taxi and the driver was super nice and helpful who got me to all the best beaches. I stayed on for twice as long.

    It's not my first time at Serena, but the other times I couldn't use any of the amenities. This time I used the Gym, the sauna and enjoyed the overall atmosphere of this hotel, and the feeling is great. The rooms are not new, so shower and wc could be improved. But the room is huge, the service is excellent, like it is expected in a 5 starts. Small courtesy like preparing your room for the night, plenty of complementary water, very nice view to the garden and sea. The gym is excellent. Small details like having a smart TV that connects to our phone are also a plus. And they were very friendly to allow me a late check out considering I was taking a late flight, so it allow me to take a nice shower before leaving. The hotel is general is not a new style hotel, but you can feel the tradition and a mix of Arabic and África. There's a lot of people coming from outside to use the restaurant and that gives some extra life to the hotel. The other times I was not so impressed, this time I loved it. Thank you to all staff.

    I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Although it's just a short distance from the bustling city of Dar es Salaam, it felt like a peaceful oasis, offering a perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. The serene atmosphere and lush surroundings made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were exceptional – incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Their warmth and hospitality truly stood out, and I felt like I was among friends throughout my stay. The food was absolutely fantastic, with a breakfast spread that was not only delicious but also varied and fresh. Every meal was a treat, and I looked forward to every dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding service and incredible food. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

    I relocated from the Peacock Hotel to The Southern Sun Hotel, and this was the best decision I made. The coral beach and slipway were great to hang out at and eat. Bolt was the God sent and easy way to get around Dar es Salaam, and reasonably priced. I enjoy a trip to Zanzibar, which takes about 2 hours by boat, and its Tanzania's Paradise.

    Dar es Salaam is a great city if you know where to go. It’s best to be in a group or have a local host to truly enjoy your stay. I’d recommend avoiding driving in the city center due to the heavy crowds and constant traffic jams.
