The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms with modern furnishings, but could benefit from some updates to match its luxury status. The service provided is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. The location is fantastic, bordering the beach and boasting lush tropical gardens. The dining experience varies from superb to needing more variety. The facilities are great overall, though some areas could be enhanced.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with lovely bougainvillea flowers, making the cleaning impeccable. The view over the plain and the waterhole provided an incredible experience, with whole families of elephants just feet away. The private patios were as large as hotel rooms in New York City, adding a luxurious touch to the stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had an African touch, were spacious, and each had a mini patio; little details like neatly folding clothes and fresh flowers on the bed made it special. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond, even offering tours and driving us around. The location, though central, showed a bit of poverty nearby but was perfect for beach relaxation. The dining experience was fit for a king, and the facilities were top-notch.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, although we had requested a king-size bed and got two beds joined together instead. The fridge stocked with soft drinks was a nice touch, and we even got a Tusker beer after signing a request form at reception. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with some staff being very helpful while others were a bit unprofessional. The location had its charm but could use some improvement in terms of cleanliness and amenities. The dining experience offered a good variety of buffet and a la carte options. Overall, a decent place to stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a great ambience with up-to-date vanity facilities and a nice sitting area. However, cleanliness of some cushions and the sofa was a letdown. The service was exceptional, with Mariam, Samuel, and Timothy ensuring a top-notch experience. The location had its drawbacks with some disheartening sights but was ultimately fantastic. The dining experience was average, nothing special.
