10/10 Exceptional

Aya Sophia was a perfect add on to our south beach stay when visiting Dar. Visiting the animals was a perfect way for our kids to see them without the crazy prices of a safari park (as a foreigner). Great rooms, gardens and the restaurant food (we ate curry) was also excellent

Very pleasant stay. Restaurant was under staffed and orders from menu took a long time but the attitude of staff made up for it. Very clean place and accommodate most request in a reasonable amount of time.
