"This was a short business trip and the hotel was perfectly located for most of the offices I needed to visit. The staff were so helpful and thoughtful (they genuinely remembered my name and preferences!) - the hotel has a wonderful atmosphere. It was a very pleasant experience."
"We loved White Sands Resort. We were six people in two one-bedroom apartments with a connecting door, just perfect for us. The kitchens were convenient, however one was not stocked at all and the other just had a few plates and a couple of forks and spoons. We didn't plan to do much cooking so didn't say anything about it, but probably the staff would have responded had we asked.
Otherwise, the stay was perfect with excellent air conditioning and two pools plus lovely beach walks to choose...
"Disappointed that a service apartment didn’t have drinking water. The gas stove was disconnected so we couldn’t cook. The place is falling apart, not clean. The sofa set in the living room looks dirty and has wet spots and dark marks. I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying on this property. "

5/5 Excellent
"Very friendly and accommodatinng staff. They had two good restaurant options and as nice coffee shop. I enjoyed sitting in the sitting area overlooking the ocean. "
A verified traveller stayed at Golden Tulip Dar Es Salaam
"I really enjoyed my stay. I booked it specifically for its location (Sunset, restaurants/bars by the ocean) and I was not disappointed. It's true there is music outside at night but with the AC on, I couldn't hear anything so it's not very high. Breakfast was OK. People were welcoming and accommodating. Overall, I recommend this hotel! "
