Sea Cliff Hotel Dar Es Salaam would be a perfect place to recover from jet-lag or prepare for a long flight home. It is in a quiet area of town where a lot of ex-pats and important/wealthy folk live. There is a small shopping complex next door or you can walk to the Slipway - take the coast road past lovely homes.

The drive from the airport in Dar es Salaam is a valuable experience – you learn just what a pearl the Sea Cliff Hotel Dar Es Salaam is, and all the many challenges of life in the third world you don’t have to endure while ensconced in the beauty and class on its perch over the Indian Ocean.

It really is on a “sea cliff” – sitting atop a 30 foot tall cliff leading to the ocean. All modern amenities are available inside the hotel, but its exterior reflects African design touches such as a thatched roof and tropical landscaping.Click for more information about this hotel in Tanzania Dar

You’ll be greeted at hotel entry doors by Masai tribesmen decked out in their full tribal regalia – quite a sight.

The lobby area is small, but tastefully decorated in local colors, materials, art and furniture. The air conditioning in the guest rooms was superb; the beds, linens, pillows and duvets were also wonderful.

The Sea Cliff Hotel Dar Es Salaam design touches made the room special and are gorgeous by any standard – the more so as they reflect African art and tastes. Furniture and fixtures are typically dark hardwoods, making for a nice contrast with the light wood laminate floors. A large, flat-panel TV was a nice extra.

The bathroom deserves special mention – gorgeous multi-color terracotta tiles in local earth-tones; a rainfall showerhead and above-counter sink – all with high quality Western fixtures. The view, on the hotel’s ocean side is nothing short of breathtaking.

Breakfast at Sea Cliff Hotel Dar Es Salaam is served on an open-air terrace which sits at the edge of the cliff and the tables which abut the ocean offer spectacular views.

The breakfast buffet is very good and the price includes a number of hot local dishes which are made to order and very tasty – and filling. The same terrace serves lunch, dinner and drinks throughout the day.

Three nights a week a very good African band performs a wide repertoire of African, Reggae and Western tunes. The real find, however, is the glassed-in and air-conditioned private lounge just above the terrace.

This place is really style-central - zebra skins on the floor, beautiful earth-tone furniture, very classy design touches everywhere including vases of gazelle antlers and great club music.

There’s a small shopping center next door to the hotel, apparently owned by the same consortium as the hotel. It has about 15 shops including a full grocery store and maybe 10 restaurants/bars/cafes.

There’s even a pretty large playground for kids on the ground floor which includes a huge “bouncy-castle” which will wear out even the most energetic little ones.
