Livingstone Beach Resort — Hotel in Pwani Region

The first impression of beauty failed quickly. The location is perfect though somewhat far from town, for the evenings you are dependent on Bajajis. However the beauty of the buildings faded with the holes in the roofs, the more or less see through doors, the lamps that doesn’t work, the mosquito nets that aren’t properly hung thus not cover satisfactory. The pool is not fit for a bath nor is it visually attractive (not clean or circulated) the beach walk ways are broken/destroyed and there is no good access to the water/beach. The beach is full of plastic and there is no sign of any cleaning efforts.||But more l find the service problematic.
