📍Golden Tulip Dar Es Salaam – A Mixed Bag Experience
🙋 Heads up about the pool water quality! During my visit, I noticed the water wasn’t as crystal clear as expected. After just a brief swim and accidentally ingesting some water, I developed mild throat irritation. Might want to keep your mouth closed while swimming here!
[Smile] Now for the highlight – that breathtaking view! The infinity pool offers spectacular photo opportunities. Pro tip: find the perfect angle near the edge to capture that stunning “pool meets horizon” illusion for your Instagram.
[Thumbs up] At 20,000 TZS per person, it’s quite reasonable. Here’s the drill: enter through the hotel lobby, head straight to the pool area. Friendly staff will check if you’re a guest – if not, they’ll collect the fee (don’t leave without your receipt!).
While the overall experience was wonderfully relaxing, a word to the wise: the Tanzanian sun doesn’t play nice! Slather on that high-SPF sunscreen generously – you’ll thank me later when you’re not sporting a lobster-red look. The UV rays here pack a serious punch!
Bonus tip: Visit during golden hour for magical lighting and fewer crowds. The poolside service is attentive, making it perfect for enjoying a refreshing drink while soaking in those magnificent views. Just maybe stick to bottled beverages!
I totally get what you mean about the pool water. It can be hit or miss at some places. Have you tried the beach spots on this list? They seemed way more refreshing!
