Fig Tree Residences

A true hidden gem, quiet and secluded with a rooftop bar and restaurant, a good buffet breakfast each day. Rooms and common areas refurbished , rooms are a good size with room to maneuver. Pool and small gym. If you like watching birds or fruit bats up close this is the place to be at, its only available a couple of weeks a year while the fig trees are bearing fruit. Teresa and her staff are really helpful in organising travel trips they hold alot of local knowledge.

Stayed in Dar for 6 weeks from July to August for work in which Fig Tree accommodated me for my entire stay. Room/Amenities/Service/Food: Stayed on the first floor in a studio. Room was cleaned daily. AC in room was great. Kitchenette, fridge, all utensils, etc. all included. Pots were included as well but oddly enough my room did not have a stove or equivalent to cook. However, the staff has a portable cooker/electric stovetop of some sorts available upon request. I myself never took advantage of cooking so this was not an issue at all. There were no noise issues during my stay apart from one neighbor that decided to blast their TV till 1am for a few nights, . Other than that, sleep was great! Food was amazing!!! Personal favorites were the Roast Chicken, Beef Samosa, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Shrimp Fried Rice Internet did cut off a few times but came back online within a few minutes. Overall, speeds were sufficient for my purposes (streaming, and FaceTime.). Outlets in room are Type G (UK Style) therefore a Travel Adapter would be required. However, the outlet close to the desk had a NA style plug. Grounds are well protected with adequate lighting, a main gate, with security (GardaWorld) on duty 24/7. Laundry is complimentary and done daily with clothes being returned the same day. Out of the 6 weeks I was there, there was only 1-3 times where the clothes were NOT returned the same day. However, this was a non-issue for me. Location: Great Location. Walking distance to Slipway Hotel/Shops, Seacliff Village, Grocery store, and many restaurants and bars. Staff/Service: Service was fantastic at Fig Tree!!!! From the front office staff to the wait staff, to the cleaning crew, all employees were very professional, friendly, and always available to help. Overall/Conclusion: Enjoyed my stay at Fig Tree Residence. Definitely would stay at this establishment again in the future.

Modern smaller property located in a quiet area finished to a high standard. A number of good restaurants within 5 mins by BOLT. I have two suggestions for improvement. Breakfast is only available until 9 weekdays which is too early for people on vacation. Most if not all hotels offer it until 10am. The transfer from airport is way too expensive compared to price of BOLT (less than $9). They should make arrangements with an alternate service provider. It's not nice feeling you have been ripped off before you even check in!
