The room was extremely expensive,I paid in advance and I still had to pay $100 per day because they didn’t have enough rooms with the beach view available so they told me I had to get the court yard view, and then they changed it back to the beach view, very expensive and confusing to me, the food wasn’t very good either but you get what you pay for, I don’t recommend this hotel.

My fiance has dreamed about staying at this place since she was a little girl in Tanzania. She told me this after I had found another place to book :) I'm glad we switched though! Beautiful property! Not 5 star but for the price it was right on the mark. Attention to detail would move this place up a notch for sure. Overall experience was 5 star! Minor issues were things like rooms that needed minor repairs/ a mini fridge that gave us issues /the first staff member we dealt with checking in was confrontational and made a big deal out of charging extra for my soon to be wife. (most hotels I've had assume double occupancy) not the case in Tanzania - everything an extra in my experience.

The pool was nice and the food was good. The staff for breakfast was absolutely amazing!!

This hotel was top tier. I like the atmosphere but the rooms were really cramped. The ocean view room was great for the view, but the room was really hot, even with the air-conditioning on. We changed rooms for a courtyard view and that room was hotter. Two days with the air-conditioning not working was terrible. They fixed it as fast as they could. Other than the air-conditioning issue, it's clean and no bugs.The Staff was Excellent, the food is good. This is a good hotel for a short stay. I would stay there again!

The Ramada is overall a very pleasant experience. Although at times it feels like they are more busy than they can handle - weddings, events, walk-ins, etc. can make for shaky service. The staff is lovely, it just feels like they are overwhelmed.

A disgrace to the Wyndham Group

We went to Ramada for a weekend getaway and it was beyond horrible. I've never in my life been to a Wyndham hotel with such low standard and horrible service:
- Furniture in room and balcony old and partly broken
- No warm water in the bathroom
- Mold in bathroom tiles and rust in bathroom appliances
- Unprofessional and unfriendly staff (personal highlight was a call from reception at midnight confusing the rooms and telling me this is my wake-up call)
- Attempt to charge us for expensive wine which we didn't drink during checkout and then presenting us a bill from the bar without name and signature
- Loud construction noise from the hotel garden past midnight which didn't let us sleep all night

+ Pool area is nice and staff around the pool helpful and friendly
+ Decent selection for breakfast

When confronting reception staff with our complaints there was no reaction, definitely not coming back.

Absolutely beautiful beachfront. Excellent pool and very relaxing lounge. Nice gym. Great breakfast. Ordering lunch was more complicated than it should be. The staff did not seem to know how to bill my room. It took three or four of their staff to figure out how to bill my room (they did not seem to understand their system and procedures). I travel often in Africa and am patient. But I think it could have frustrated someone with less experience with these types of frustrations.

We had a longer than usual stay at this hotel. It was very close to my friends family home. This was the reason we chose it. The pool was lovely but our friends had to pay $20 each for everyday they wanted to come to the pool and hang out with us. I understand a charge for guests at the pool but 20 US dollars is ridiculous. This truly was my only complaint. The staff was extremly helpful The food was good. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. They arranged transport for us and the concierge programed my friends phone for his new sim card. Great over and above help.

Most people don't go on vacation to sleep, so when a pool at a hotel closes at 1800 or is not 24 hours, that hotel loses me. Different country different rules, I personally don't like people checking my bags every time I come into the hotel or anywhere for that matter. I'm so glad that I stayed, but I will not stay again.

1) While doing reservation online it is never mentioned anywhere that check in time is 3:00 PM. Usually flights arrives in morning & I wonder who will wait for 8-10 hrs to check in to this hotel. Checking time should start from 9:00 AM.
2) Found insect in food which was very disappointing
3) Room service is very very slow. Need to take followup calls each time I need anything.
4) Log in procedure to log in to Wifi is super long. You just need to have password like every other hotel give & just log in but they should think on this lengthy procedure

I stayed in 330 ocean view room. The air condition system was terrible, as much as they tried sending an engineer twice the system just failed to blow out sufficient air. I felt like I was gonna die at some point at night, which forced me to leave the balcony door wide open. Food quality is terrible. Their cheese platter was off (gave I and my partner some serious tummy ache). They charged me twice which the reversed amount was meant to be in my account on the same day but nothing of the sort happened. So still waiting for my funds. Breakfast was just okay, staff are pretty good. Lovely ambiance and the beach is spectacularly clean. Lovely location, easy to get around a few different locals joints.

At guest services (sorry don’t recall his name) the gentlemen found me batteries for my laptop which was very appreciated. In the public areas the aircon didn’t cope well at all.....the \"spa\" area is way below standard, either do it properly or not at all.

Still one of my favourites but getting too pricey

I have stayed here on several occasions and haven’t ever been disappointed. The rooms are very comfortable and high spec with fabulous mattress and pillows and super efficient air conditioning. Wi-fi was very good but be aware that you can only register 2 devices per room (one each). Pool and beach were wonderful, as usual.

The thing that irritated me was that they have increased their food and drink prices and the cost of drinking water is completely ridiculous. The mark up is over 700%. Given you can’t drink the tap water and you get 500ml each a day in the room, you are kind of over a barrel. Try and buy water beforehand so you have a choice whether to buy the other over-priced drinks.

Not a bad beach hotel

The hotel is a nice beach hotel. Very quiet location with no beach boys to bother you.The rooms are comfortable but the cleaning not so good. I dropped something on the floor and when i bent down I noticed there was so much filth and rubbish under the bed. i can't imagine the last time it was moved for cleaning.
The breakfast buffet was OK. The evening buffet I felt was way overpriced at 50,000Tsh. I had a beautiful fillet steak at Cape Town Fish Market for way less.
Overall the service was slow and unattentive.If you have business in town this is not for you. It can be a 2 hour crawl at the wrong time.
There is nothing in terms of decent restaurant in the area

The hotel is well situated by the beach.
The service was exceptional. The amazing staff happily go out of their way to be as helpful, friendly and welcoming as possible.
The rooms, many of which offer an outstanding view overlooking the sea, are extremely clean, very spacious and comfortable.
Staff go out of their way to assist you and are extremely friendly.
