Badeco Beach Hotel is located on the Indian Ocean in
Bagamoyo. The shallow beach is ideal
for children, but those looking for the adventure of watersports -
wind-surfing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing will enjoy
themselves in the 3 km long bay.
The Badeco Beach Hotel is one of the traditional old established
guesthouses of Bagamoyo. It has always been a popular meeting point
for local inhabitants, and so it is by no means just a place for
foreign visitors. Tanzanians enjoy the high reputation of the hotel's
kitchen and restaurant. The cooks prepare local and international
dishes, and the specialty is fresh seafood in many wonderful
varieties.
The child friendly hotel has been under German management for many
years. This means that English, Swahili and (sometimes) German are
spoken here. The rooms are fitted with ventilators and mosquito nets
and the majority are en suite, with shower and toilet.
Air-conditioning is also available. The hotel also has a camping site
with separate toilet and washroom facilities, and a kitchen for
self-caterers. The whole hotel complex has security patrols.
The Badeco Beach Hotels is right next door to the world recognized
Bagamoyo College of Arts. Here hotel guests can learn traditional
dance, drumming, painting and carving. Those interested in history
will find it practically on the doorstep. The German Boma, the
colonial administration building from the late 19th century is only
100 metres away. In the old Roman Catholic Mission, the very first one
in the whole of East Africa, you can find evidence and documents from
times of the slave trade, and the great explorer Livingstone.
