Mnarani Beach Cottages

An ideal opportunity to relax for a few days or a week after safari. Very, very friendly staff, good bar, good restaurant, pool and seaside available. Swimming in the sea is a bit problematic due to the tide, but the tides are what they are. Rooms are clean and our apartment with its own jacuzzi on the 3rd floor is certainly the exception with its size and exclusive sea view. Daily towel changes would not have been necessary, but that is a positive. The pool could have used an upgrade, but it was always serviced and the water was clean. A la carte food is OK. Breakfast is varied. Ham/bacon and eggs would be better than just eggs. Limited jam. Likes/dislikes: Salt and pepper open to pick up with your fingers (hygiene). Despite the humid conditions, a better solution can be found, e.g. pepper and salt mills that are stored dry during the day. Open containers that anyone can reach into are a no-go. Bar with long drinks and beer is very good. Water dispenser in the restaurant should be refrigerated. Drinking water for brushing teeth in the room should also be a matter of course and not left to the guest. Surroundings: We walked to Nungwi Beach: It's not the hotel's fault. But the beach must be cleaned! Environmental protection is your future. Focus on education in schools, children, and young people. Giving young people some money every day and collecting containers for beach cleaning is better than asking tourists for bracelets or tours. There are no public rubbish bins on the beach (outside the hotel). The surroundings also seem safe for walking. Turtle viewing is good but be careful with children. The animals bite hard, as happened to me. Boat trip was OK. Reef at Mnemba reef is beautiful but very crowded. Use local guides who may also know places to the west. Thank you to all members of the staff. Stay healthy. See you again ...
