Amazing hotel with amazing staff
This hotel and is staff is just amazing. Really great service - and were really helpful. Specially Aika helped us out, and was really excellent in getting us a dinner change. (When what we wanted was not on the menu)
The hotel is new, and nice. Everything was clean - and we had the beach right outside. It was a bit tricky to swim in the ocean outside the hotel, but we managed. It is 15 min walk in the beach to get to Nungwi beach/center

Decent Stay but WiFi Issues Need Attention
The hotel was decent overall. The rooms were fine - clean and comfortable enough -and breakfast was satisfactory with a reasonable selection. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the WiFi was a major issue. It didn’t work in our room at all, and despite reporting it, the problem was never resolved, which was quite inconvenient. On the plus side, Noel, the manager, was caring and attentive, which was appreciated.

Great place with below average food
4.5* hotel with very nice grounds poll and access to beach. Really enjoyed the stay except the food. You would expect that island nation would know how to cook fish and see food. Extreamly disappointment with food quality and lack of interest even if you make comment that something is not tasty. There was one person Kisa which was top notch and really helpful. And one meal which was amazing Arusha beef fillet - perfectly cooked. Everything else served especially during lunch 2*. I have still enjoyed my stay and could recommend it if food is not your thing

Amazing place to stay with beautiful views. The staff are so helpful and accommodating. Only down side is that the 24hour room service menu is quite limited in terms of options but besides that, nothing negative to say. Great stay

A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Nungwi Dreams by Mantis
Located about a 1.5-hour drive from the airport, Nungwi Dreams by Mantis may not be the most easily accessible destination, but it is absolutely worth the journey. This 5-star luxury hotel delivers on every level, from the exceptional staff training to the impeccable cleanliness, high-quality dining, and the sheer comfort of the rooms. The 24-hour security also ensured we felt safe at all times. I stayed for four nights and had the most unforgettable time. I can confidently say this is an experience I will cherish for a lifetime.

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The only thing I want to warn other travelers is that the staff will service and treat others first and better. No matter how long you were there first. I’ve noticed this on multiple occasions. This will be the only reason why I won’t book there again.
