This hotel is so beautiful, their carefully manicured gardens are amazing, the view overlooking the mount Meru is fantastic especially from the rooftop. It has a great swimming pool as well as a huge terrace. There is a nice pool bar to relax while listening to soft music. Guests can walk around the coffee plantation, learn about how the coffee is processed, and the hotel has it's own organic vegetable garden. There is also an art and coffee shop where you can appreciate and buy gifts to take home. I had the opportunity to spend Christmas at Gran Meliã Arusha while on holidays. I loved the experience and their Christmas brunch was so well organised, that it went beyond my expectations. There were many families as well as tourists enjoying the day. The food was excelent, great ambience and it was gratifying to watch the families enjoying themselves. There was a lovely live band playing good music. The variety of foods and dessert was great and the service was excelent. Very friendly waiters, always ready to serve and accommodate everyone. Thank you, Gran Meliã for offering such a beautiful opportunity to enjoy Christmas while away from home. It was dfinitely worth it to chose your hotel to spend Christmas. It is definitely worth to visit again next time I am in Arusha. Special thanks to Guilherme, and David as well as the friendly Gran Meliã family. Well done! Wishing you happy holidays.
