Fabulous location, beautiful facilities, friendly staff, perfect for families. Truly paradise!

My family recently enjoyed a stay at Dhow Inn, and we couldn’t have had a nicer time. Everyone on staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing, pools felt very private and well-maintained, beach location was idyllic and the service was perfect. Rooms were very spacious, clean, well appointed and with comfortable beds. The excursions we booked through the hotel were also great - we snorkeled with sea stars, visited monkeys in Jozani National Park, and they even helped arrange our safari in mainland Tanzania. I hope we can visit again soon!

Very pleasant!

Very relaxed & calm environment. The hotel is very clean & well maintained overall. We could see that much effort has been put into establishing a high level of customer care & and professionalism, but still room to grow. Friendliness & smiles...10/10.

Best honeymoon stay!

Everything was perfect and beyond. It was our honeymoon, couldn’t have chosen a better hotel. The staff is so so friendly, they do everything they can for you to enjoy your stay. The hotel is extremely clean, they literally clean like 3 times a day. Complimentary water and coffee in the room which we loved. Great location. The pools are lovely and also very well maintained. The beach is breathtaking. The nearby town is such a vibrant place full of culture. We even visited the local school just about 100m from the hotel. I wish we could go back really!
