Promised Land Lodge

Земля обетованная — поистине удивительное место, если вам нужно красивое место, чтобы расслабиться, охладиться и восстановить силы. Хижины чистые и просторные, с удобными кроватями, еда очень хорошая, и все в домике очень дружелюбны. Это был наш третий визит в Землю Обетованную, и нам не терпится вернуться!

Подходя к домику, я задавался вопросом, куда же я иду по длинной тропе, но когда я прошел через ворота, это было ВАУ! Все место обращено к красивому голубому океану. Вид из моей комнаты был потрясающим, а выбор гамаков, качелей и шезлонгов просто кричал: расслабьтесь! Идеальное место для отдыха с атмосферой регги и дружелюбным и услужливым персоналом.

Идеальное место, чтобы расслабиться и отдохнуть. Очень привлекательная обстановка для этого, плюс отличный персонал. Хакуна Матата

Better than expected. Food was good. Service was excellent, every single person was very nice and helpful. Location perfect for quiet relaxation. Rooms vere excellent and very good cleaning. Free kayaking. Whole hotel area was picture perfect and many places to chill and sunbathe. If you have to think of something negative it was that my tummy did not like the food a few times (=diarrhea episode), but what we discussed with other travelers, it happens in every hotel….

A very relaxing place to stay and recuperate. We had a fantastic sea view to the front and side of the room. That did mean that when the storms came we also had a very wet floor as the front just has mesh panels and no windows (but we were very grateful for the refreshing breeze!) but this was quickly dried up with some towels. Housekeeping available everyday and excellent service. Room had a ceiling and a mosquito net over the bed. As it was hot and humid when we were there it could be quite difficult to sleep at night - not the fault of the hotel, just one of those things. The bathroom shower is not contained so be warned that the floor does get very wet and is slow to drain. The pool was great! Most guests don't seem to use it so it was pretty quiet most days. We loved it when the monkeys would come out and swing around the trees by the pool - it's a mini jungle paradise! Access to the sea is down some steps - the water is lovely and clear. Be aware that during load tied you will likely be approached by locals hiding behind rocks on the beach offering boat tours/taxi service etc. The same tours and services are offered by the hotel for a very competitive price so we preferred to book through Promised Land. Lovely bar and restaurant staff. Lovely food especially the Tanzanian fish curry! We stayed for 10 nights so menu was getting a bit samey but most people stay for much shorter period of time. Beautiful, remote location with lovely people to look after you.

First of all, the staff at promised land lodge are exceptionally friendly and helpful, we were asked every day of our 5 day stay if we would like our room cleaned. There is a decent selection of food available on the menu, including options for vegetarians. The location is on the sea front which is stunning, however, with the tide coming in and out, there is no beach as such. You can walk over the rock pools when the tide is out but sandals should be worn as there are sea urchins and other spiky sea creatures in the pools. You can book dolphin tours at the lodge and be picked up from the jetty there which is ideal. The accommodation was ‘rustic’ and simple, there was no kettle or aircon in the room and the power would often cut out. It is a nice place to stay if you enjoy relaxing, but there is not much else to do other than that. We walked about 1.5 miles into the closest ‘village’, however there is not much to see or do there. There are a couple of restaurants on the path leading to promised land lodge. Overall, our stay was not ‘luxury’ but satisfying, although general cleanliness of the surrounding area was not great.

The hotel has a great seafront location with fabulous views and a really cool Rasta-inspired bar area. The sand around the bar and sitting area is kept incredibly clean. There are plenty of hammocks, sun beds and nice sofa areas to lounge around, and in the evening a lovely bon fire is lit by the bar. The bar is charming but with limited selection. The pool is ok but not as clean as in the photos. There are some lovely looking beach front chalets on the property - we had a family room towards the back of the property that was clean but rather stuffy. No air condition. Internet however was excellent. The property is beach front, but the beach is not really made for walking - in fact there are not many places to move about. The restaurant has a limited menu, but some good dishes. We loved the fish curry. I would recommend this place for couples who want to relax and are happy to chill, but not if you are expecting to move around. We also felt that the price we got really was poor value for money compared to other places we stayed.

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax then this is perfect. Only down side was no kettle in room, low water pressure & no hot water in shower.Intermittent power means that room fan doesn’t always work and room can get very warm. Lots of construction going on. Staff were exceptional. Food basic but more than adequate. Best were the prawns and fish curry.
