Great location, fantastic view of the Sea, spacious rooms, decent breakfast with great settings, helpful and pleasant staff. Wifi fast and free. Pity was on a business trip and not holiday. Would surely like to spend a few days with family here. Casino good except they are too slow and take a lot of time in each shuffle.

My first visit to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania was April 12- April 19, 2013 and I was fortunate enough to stay in the Sea Cliff hotel. My room was very clean and I had a wonderful view of the pool and beautiful Indian Ocean. Every hotel worker from the gardeners to the wait staff to the door men were polite,... More

Great, helpful staff. Beautiful location overlooking the Indian Ocean. Sea Cliff Hotel is located on a relatively quiet peninsula a bit outside the city center -- but that's not a bad thing. The hotel has a few restaurant options, with pretty good food, including a great, included breakfast.

Nana and Andrew at the concierge desk at the Sea Cliff Hotel provided above average service in helping me with a predicament with my flights departing from Dar es Salaam. My flight issues had nothing to do with my stay at the hotel but their interest in keeping their customers serviced was beyond the normal scope of their jobs.

A single day at this fabulous hotel was not enough, but it was perfect from beginning till checkout. Recommendable, definitely! The resort has it's own hair-salon, small shops, a café with great seafood. Only downside was the amount of ants at the poolside and the lack of a beach, but the view over the cliff is magic.

Very good location close to the tip of the peninsula. Nice ocean view. Quite breezy all day long, especially at the restaurant which can be a relief during hot days, but sometimes the wind gets annoying. Rooms are clean, spacious.
