Our credit card was charged even before our arrival for the accommodation. Upon check-in management tried to confiscate one of our passports - we blatantly refused, apart from it being illegal they have already been paid. None of the other resorts we visited in Tanzania and Zanzibar had any problem validating your credit cards or with payments of deposits on... More

Unfortunately, one of the leading financial institutions we bank with does not offer the facility to hold a deposit for incidentals, and we offer guests to leave their passports with us safely if they...

Booked South Beach Resort Dar Es Salaam via tripdavisor. Me and my wife had our honey moon in Zanzibar, and we decided to spend our last day in Tanzania in Dar el Sallam. We asked South beach to pick us from the furry port. They were on time, and very presentable and friendly. The Driver (and the staff in general)... More

Dirty bathrooms, salty bath water, I had a leaking room 301, food not really fresh, management mediocre but good staff. On arrival my passport was confiscated as guarantee and was forced to pay full amount for the week up front. When later in the week ( the hotel was practically empty during the week) I gave 24 hours notice that... More

Dear Guest, We are sorry your stay with us was not more enjoyable. We understand the misconception that the bathrooms might be dirty as the water is a bit discoloured. However this is not the case as the water is treated for any harmful substances and is bathroom safe. If there was a leak in your room, we wish you... More

Tanzania and Dar is really growing as a tourist paradise: They´ve got the best safari, the traditional African culture, but also THE beach! South Beach Resort is a great pick for a mid-price experience of the latter. Ok rooms, ok food (a little pricy perhaps...) and a GREAT beach! And that is what we are looking for... In just 30...

Our family visited for one night in July 2012. The food was hit or miss - some really good, some really not. The rooms were small, but that didn't matter so much.

I cannot believe the other reviews about this hotel. I live in Ugandan and am not high maintenance, but this hotel is not 3.5 stars in any world.
