Fodor's Expert Review Sea Cliff Hotel

Only 15 minutes from downtown on the edge of the Msasani Peninsula, this classy hotel has commanding views of the sea and good-size, comfortable rooms (insist on one with a sea view). On-site there are two restaurants, a casino, a pool, and a fantastic gym, and there's an adjacent shopping mall with more restaurants, curio shops, and a hairdressing salon. Like most hotels in Dar, the Sea Cliff caters mainly to business travelers, but the option to take day tours, Maasai cultural trips, and scenic helicopter rides offer something for tourists, too. Children under 12 are free if sharing with adults. .
