10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Jag och min fru besökte hotellet under vÄr smekmÄnad i Tanzania. Detta hotell var helt nyöppnat och vi var vÀldigt skeptiska till hotellet nÀr vi först bokade eftersom mÄnga av bilderna var genererade och inte faktiska foton... Men vi chansade och fick en superbra upplevelse. Allt var vÀldigt rent och frÀscht och personalen var vÀldigt mÄna om att vi hade det bra. Vi blev uppgraderade till ett bÀttre rum Àn vi bokat eftersom det fanns tillgÀngligt och blev Àven bjudna pÄ saker under vistelsen sÄsom vin till middagen och extra saker i vÄr minibar pÄ rummet. Frukosten var bÀttre Àn de andra hotellen vi besökte pÄ Zanzibar och i frukosten ingÄr bl.a. olika kaffesorter, mocktails, ÀggrÀtter och tilltugg som man kan bestÀlla utöver buffén som ligger framme. Det enda som kunde varit bÀttre för oss Àr ett gym. Eftersom hotellet var helt nyöppnat sÄ hade inte gymmet ankommit Ànnu men skulle komma inom 1 vecka sa personalen pÄ hotellet.

9/10 Wonderful! (153 reviews)
Our stay at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach had several positive aspects. The location is good, the pool area is nice, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there are a few points worth being aware of. The rooms appear more worn in reality than the pictures suggest, which detracts from the overall impression. In addition, the food unfortunately falls below expectations. Considering the price, the culinary experience could have been significantly better. This becomes particularly noticeable when compared to similar hotels in destinations such as the Seychelles or Cape Verde, where the food standard is often higher within the same price range. It is also worth mentioning that the Hotels.com Gold benefits (Early/Late checkout, Upgrade) do not seem to apply here (even when listed on confirmatio). However, this appears to be more an issue with Hotels.com rather than the hotel itself. Overall, a perfectly acceptable place to stay, but somewhat overpriced for the experience it offers.
