The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

I was blown away by the dining options at The Mora. The buffet was absolutely delicious with a fantastic variety including a dessert corner, sushi bar, and a pasta bar! As a vegetarian, I never ran out of options, and the Tanzanian coffee was to die for. Every meal was a treat!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and kept impeccably clean, which made my family feel at home. The beach was just a few steps away, and I absolutely loved the lush gardens filled with vibrant butterflies. However, the service could be more consistent, as there were instances of rudeness from some staff members. Overall, it felt like a great value for money, especially given the beautiful surroundings and amenities.
