    Amazing and authentic atmosphere. Could be a Pirates of the Carribean set. Spacious rooms, hot showers, mosquito nets, and a fun pool and tire swings, with plentiful places to lounge. Food was very good. We would definitely return.

    They've done a beautiful job remodeling an old house into this hotel. The courtyard with the pool, palm trees, and multiple places to hang out on cushions and whatnot is a real oasis within Bagamoyo.
