I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel has beautiful grounds and spacious rooms, which made it enjoyable, but my experience was marred by a few issues. While the staff tried to be accommodating, I felt let down by the dining options and some of the amenities, which didn't fully meet my expectations for the price. Overall, there were nice moments, but a few significant drawbacks stopped it from being great.

I recently had a mixed experience at the resort. On one hand, the rooms were clean and comfortable with stunning views, and the amenities like the infinity pool were delightful. However, I encountered issues with noise from a nearby party and some service hiccups that took away from the relaxation I was looking forward to after my safari. Overall, while there are excellent aspects, some areas need improvement to be truly enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which boasts stunning views of Lake Victoria. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and my room was spacious and comfortable, providing a fantastic view from the balcony. The staff was accommodating, and the food was decent, though not exceptional. One downside was the hotel's distance from the city center, requiring transportation for excursions. Overall, it's a lovely retreat with a serene atmosphere.
