We had the best breakfast during our entire vacation in Tanzania here prepared deliciously by chef Anthony. Also we appreciated that breakfast was served until 12 and that we could do an early check-in. The food at the restaurant is very good. There is daily room service and everything is kept clean. .

Facing the beachfront, Royal Mandarin Hotel & Resort offers 5-star accommodation in Pwani Mchangani and features a fitness centre, garden and private beach area. Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a kids' club and free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel is situated directly on a fine, sandy beach with emerald blue water. As a special feature of this location, during low tide, the ocean retracts so far that a mile-wide range of the sea falls dry, and one can walk far outside on the sand, watching sea stars, sea urchins (don't forget proper plastic shoes! :) ) and other animals. The entire service team, lead by Ahmed, treated us extremely well and friendly, especially Fausta and her colleagues from the restaurant team and Maria, who organized games and excursions into the sand bank during low tide, and Khamis, who presented the evening shows. They all fascinated us with their friendly mood. We also took several excursions to the surroundings to watch dolphins, giant turtles on prison island and monkeys. These excursions can be booked on the spot or also beforehand. All this made a perfect vacation with many impressions.
