Used it as a day hotel after safari... it took 90 minutes to get food at the restaurant so it used up nearly all of our lay over time. I was also told I needed to book two rooms (traveling with kids) for our 2.5 hr (yes, thats correct) stay. I would suggest Four Points Sheraton instead for a lay over hotel

An absolutely stunning hotel but let down by poor communication. I booked a room on red level for the benefit it offered. On arrival, I went to check in, was told it won’t be long at all. Then waited an hour and a half while checking multiple times how long it would be. Was then told that they were giving me an upgrade to another room and that’s why it took so long. Turns out it was actually due to them having the red lounge closed for renovation but did not communicate this to me in advance. I spent over $850 for one night for my husbands birthday and was let down. The whole check in process was awful. The pool and outdoor areas are absolutely gorgeous, so nice to walk through. Unfortunately they were removing tiles outdoors so a lot of banging and crashing was ruining the serenity. Room was good however the air conditioning in the bedroom did not stay cold. Bathroom vanity is unsealed so looks very dirty due to water stains. Buffet breakfast and dinner was amazing. Food was delicious. So many options available.

This property is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are fantastic, they grow their own coffee, avocados and other gorgeous plants and flowers. The rooms are beautiful, big and the view of Mount Meru was outstanding. . However, what makes this hotel five stars is the hotel staff. They are amazingly kind, professional, courteous and ready to answer or help in any way needed. The breakfast buffet has a tremendous variety and was delicious. The coffee for the lattes was grown on site. Overall, a fantastic experience! Thank you Gran Melia staff!

El hotel está hermoso, los jardines, alberca, lobby etc. El personal muy amable. El problema son los baños de las habitaciones, regaderas llenas de moho negro muy visible por todos lados, creo que carecen de un básico mantenimiento. Muebles sucios y golpeados.

Wonderful Experience!

We only stayed for one night but had a great experience. The hotel property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. The food was delicious and the decor was very nice. I highly recommend this hotel if you're in Arusha.
