Bagamoyo Country Club — Hotel in Pwani Region

The Country Club is a splendid designed garden resort in the slope above southern Bagamoyo beach. The layout is simply beautiful and the park is attended with outmost care. Good and quiet place to stay a few days. Staff is very friendly and helpful, most of them understand english quite well. No TV on whole property - wonderful!

They have a beautiful patio restaurant with excellent food, especially the wood oven pizzas are great!

The drawback are the rooms. They are relatively clean and quite spacious with fairly ok bed, but there are severe lacks in maintenance of bathrooms and other structure, typically for african accommodations. In my case the AC not worked (in rain season for drying the room), toilet flush not worked properly (very very common), shower only few drops hot water due to very simple failure, but it looked like unattended for years. Generally unclean bath. Be also prepared for many hours without power a day, because power net of the whole town is very weak. They have a generator, but this is only a very provisorial one, which they run during worse outages during dinner or similar.

While the missmaintenance is common to many african hotels and if you were already in other places, this may be not a big issue for you. If you directly come from Europe or America and experience that poor comfort for 55 US$ (single), it might be shocking. So be warned. The room rate is still to be...

We were looking for a way to spend a spare a day before flight. We were wondering about one of the small islands (mbeya) for lovely beach or Bagamoyo for history. Luckily we choose to stay here and got both! The hotel is down a steep track from the road and feels like a magic hidden gem. The kids and I just wanted to shout for joy and run to the beach. The amazing white sand beach opens from the lovely hotel garden. The sea is a perfect temperature. There were a scatter of people running on the beach or doing exersises. Everyone was relaxed and friendly and doing their own thing (no hassel). The rooms are simple and clean with all you need (no hot water but who needs that on the coast?). The rooms have many gecko guests and the main restaurant has small fruit bats roosting in the eaves (beautiful when they emerge at dusk). The staff are lovely. The food is good (long wait but that is fine as the food is fresh and they advise you to order well before you want to eat). The restaurant/ bar area is shady and catches a great breeze. Perfect place to hang out. We checked out, went to explore Bagamoyo then came back to hang out for drink etc as couldn't imagine a nicer place. It's not cheap, but you pay for the location, and it's not necessarily expensive by Tanzanian standards, where tourist-type hotels do seem...
