  Breezy weekend getaway

  We just spent the weekend at Changani Beach Resort for a group weekend getaway. It took us about 1.5 hours to get there from the Dar es Salaam. I had a cottage and they converted one bed into two for sharing. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean. I did not like the setup of no bathroom door and a half wall between the shower/toilet and the sleeping area. I never understand why anyone thinks this is a good idea. The food was very good. I had a a few of the prawn dishes and American pancakes for breakfast. The staff was very attentive and kind. Sometimes the food takes a while but it's certainly fresh when it comes to you. I would caution that to get to the beach area you have to walk down quite a few steps. Once on the beach, there is are large areas of shade to lounge in. That's a very nice feature. I did not use the pool. It's quite a distance from the beach area but it was close to my room. The monkeys liked playing in that area. Beach area is okay. The waves were pretty rough but I don't know if that's common. There's enough room to play volleyball or walk on the beach.

  Great Location

  Down a rough track. You will probably need a four wheel drive to get there, but it's worth it. The main buildings, restaurant area and swimming pool are situated in a jungle area above and behind the lovely, deserted, tropical beach. The several cottages are located in secluded areas in the jungle. The food was good and the staff were excellent. It's about a 10 minute walk down the hill, along the path, through the jungle to the beach where there are a few more hotel buildings.

  Excellent Service!

  A perfect getaway for couples. Excellent service from the staff! Food is amaizing, the beach, view from the private cottage is lovely! Oh the breakfast was indeed perfect. Would recommend a visit to this paradise.

  Overpriced and poorly maintained

  I liked this place a lot a few years ago. Now, it's really disappointing. The rooms need a paint job and the roofs need fixing. There's been a leak in our room the last couple of times we were there. Issues with hot water. The ceiling fan was super noisy. The AC remote did not work, so it was impossible to turn it on. The staff brought a standing fan, which helped somewhat. This said the staff are super nice and want to help though seem to have their hands tied by the new management, not willing to invest in basic maintenance. Lovely location but so overpriced at this point.

  Lovely scenery but overpriced food/ drinks

  A beautiful location and surroundings at Sisi Changani. The staff were attentive and helpful during our stay. We loved having the place to ourselves and had a great time using the pool and beach. The location was lovely but a good 15 minute drive down a track so make sure you bring all of your supplies with you. However, the food and drink was very overpriced for what it was. There was nothing special about the menu and paying 25,000 for an average meal was not worth it. The breakfast food was nice but didnt deliver what was on the menu. For example it said pancakes with honey but all they were able to provide us with was rose syrup for cocktails. Also it said they had paneer on the menu but none in the kitchen. A real shame that the restaurant let us down. Bring your own water and alcohol (unless you want to pay 5000 for a bottle of water). The rooms were very nice, spacious and well equipped. The shower was very poor, very low pressure and never hot. We had to ask for the hot water to be turned on and even then it was very inconsistent. We did have a really nice time here and this was made better by the good deal we had because of COVID-19, however I would question how good it would be if paying full price.
