"Hotel only opened 2 years ago and has a lot of potential .

The hotel can be great with small adjustment and attention to details "

13. Tarangire Greenland Retreat

30.2 km from Lake Manyara

"We had a fantastic stay at Tarangire Greenland Resort, in the heart of Tarangire National Park. Our cabin was very comfortable and the staff was super accommodating, making arrangements for game drives and serving great breakfasts and dinners. My only complaint was that it was not as well sign-posted as some other lodgings within the park. Tarangire NP itself is amazing. It is deservedly touted for its baobabs and large families of elephants, but there is so much more, and it is far less crowded...

"This is a challenging review to write. The property is lovely and the staff was kind-though limited in their ability to resolve the issues. If you are looking for secluded, beautiful and restful, this could be the place for you. However it is located far from any town and further from many of the sites we chose to visit. It was billed as the “perfect location” from which to explore Tarangire and Manyara NPs, but in truth it is a couple of hours from either one of these. Further, they seem only...

15. PEAK HOTEL

33.9 km from Lake Manyara

"As the name would imply, the hotel is located uphill from the main street of the town. The rooms were spacious and were separated by a wall, so each person had their own section. The bathroom was an issue as the toilet, sink and shower were all in the same place, so that if someone had a shower, the whole floor would get wet. The wi-fi was inconsistent but worked better in the dining area. The restaurant had minimal options and you had to order what you wanted for the evening hours beforehand. I...
