The kids are sure to sleep soundly after playing by the water at Coco Beach. Hunt for pretty seashore treasures, stick a toe in the water or toss a Frisbee around!

Coco Beach is a great place to start out your day in Dar es Salaam. This stretch of coastline is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Kariakoo Market, The Slipway, and Mbezi Beach to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)

This is a brand new hotel which only opened 2 months ago. It is very clean, the rooms are spacious with good air conditioning, good showers and generally high quality fixings. The best thing about the hotel is that it lies west of Dar es Salaam, which means that you avoid the worst of the city traffic. It is only about 25 minutes from the airport so it makes a highly convenient stop-over for people transiting through. When we were there some other guests had been put up there by one of the airlines, and I can see this becoming a favourite for airline companies. The hotel is also within walking distance of the Pugu Forest Reserve which offers hiking, canoeing and has a bat cave. The owner was fabulous and went out of her way to help us with whatever we needed. The kitchen is a bit slow, but the owner is aware of it and I'm sure will remedy this over time. I will certainly be using this as my go-to hotel in Dar es Salaam from now on.

8/10 Very Good! (27 reviews)

Good hotel if you are looking for somewhere cheap to stay, there is a few maintenance issues such as broken door glass and aircon not working in the room, The breakfast is not great, i avoided anything that’s not covered as there were a lot of flies on and around the food and staff were not concerned, the lack of hygiene ment that i only had a tea in the mornings and ate out most of the time i was there, the major disappointment for me was when the hotel tried to charge me extra for fresh towels, which they normally change daily but then stated to skip a day.. once a little extra was left aside the towels were changed daily and the room was cleaned properly. i did inform management but they said that they would look into it.. but nothing came of it. overall it’s a cheap hotel for a reason, there’s better out there for the money and given the choice i would look else where
