Mikes Beach Cottages — Hotel in Tanga Region

Though the place is in the middle of nowhere, the food is utterly outstanding with a care for presentation that you’d find at massive resorts in Mexico or the DR. Mike and the staff here are attuned to our experience and did all in their power to ensure we had the best time. The rooms are spacious with air conditioning and the back up generator ensures power continues despite the occasional brown outs (the place is on the edge of Tanzania after all and is remote). Bathrooms are basic, but clean. Excellent mosquito nets above our comfortable bed, and a thorough spray before we came helped with bug management. Mike catches fish everyday so expect the most delicious fresh seafood and a strikingly good curry as well! There is wakeboarding, snorkelling, and fishing excursions available. If you are looking for a very quiet, very personalized, and very genuine experience away from the noise and chaos of a Zanzibar resort, this is a great place to be. Know what to expect vis-a-vis remoteness, simple amenities, and little cell service, and you will be smitten by the friendliness, hospitality, food, and tranquility....

I spent in Mike's Beach cottages four days some weeks ago and I hope to be able to be back soon. The cottages are so nice and Ushongo beach is a paradise. I did travel by my own and Mike and the staff were really kind, they did help me to arrange the motorcycle-taxi to get there, and recommended me about the area. The food is delicious, fresh fish every day. Breakfast is also great, with local fruits and plenty of food, and taking breakfast with such a beatiful views, is luxury! It is possible to also to do some activities, including fishing with Mike. I would definitively...

This is probably one of the best places to stay in Tanzania. Finaly good beds! The good is excellent and the staff is as helpfull as can be. I saw a review where someone complains about leakage and power outages. For the first: dis you ask for help? Cause Mike would have helpped. About the power: if you complain about that, you rreally don't understand anything about the way this country works, how hard the people try to make you happy in spite of all the pronlems they face every day. @Mike: you do very well! Thank you for...
