Mnarani Beach Cottages

Friendly people

The most fabulous stop. Excellent service friendly attentive staff. So relaxing beautiful rooms. Food cooked to perfection. Nothing was a problem. Love ❤️

Staff here are pretty great, with a few annoying exceptions. If you ask for more than 2 eggs at the included breakfast, they'll tell you no, as per "management". We were also told to go to our rooms with fruit we bought locally and to not eat it at any tables or lounge area... ***? They also say theyll confiscate any alcohol you bring, and if they "find" any in your room it will be taken and only given back to you when you leave. There is no beach... its a rocky shoreline covered in weeds... no attempt to remove heavy weeds from shoreline/ walkways down to water. Not all rooms are in a "cottage" atmosphere... we were in more of an apartment building... The beautiful Nungwi Beach is a short walk down the road or shoreline (at low tide). Food at the restaraunt is poor quality overall and overpriced for what it is (the pizza is ok). Drinks are overpriced. Watch your bill at the end of your stay! Many discrepancies in our tab (and our friends tab) at the end of our stay (including charging us twice for one of our dinners). They will try charging you $2/day/pp as a surprise "city tax, or "resort fee" depending on who is at the counter (it's a bogus cash grab). Long story short, they initially demanded approximately $250 for our tab, and after removing bogus charges it was reduced to around $190. Too much nonsense for my liking. There were many accomodations along Nungwi Beach that I would seek to stay next time I visit Nungwi Beach.
