Booked a presidential cottage but on check-in, we were told that the cottages weren't available to our consternation. Checked into a supposedly another room which was supposedly a presidential suite in the main building. Really disappointing and not what we booked. Room offered was very clean though

Nice but not worth the price
On the surface this is a lovely resort. However, rooms are a bit grubby and noise all night from construction. Air conditioning did not work very well.

The room was nice but a few small issues and tea service was basic. The swimming pool wasn’t that well maintained (a random boat?) and used by children mostly. Overall, a nice place but over-priced.

This is a beautiful resort hotel. Good for leisure but not so much for business as the rooms are too far from the main lobby and the reception/breakfast area. The rooms are spread across acres of land close to the lake.

Pamper yourself and enjoy Lake Victoria.
Lush resort with relaxing spa and beautifully decorated rooms with crisp sheets luxe amenities. Dining on the terrace was enhanced by a wide array of international offerings. Staff was welcoming, courteous and helpful.

Generally nice hotel, rooms and great food. However had issue whereby my card was charged three times for same meal. Whilst this was caused by POS, i am disappointed at lack of assistance and contact from hotel to reverse charges.

Beautiful property and very clean. Active webbing hub on the weekend, but noise was not an issue. Helpful, accommodating staff despite a couple of mishaps. Spa was lovely and the 50M pool was a favorite.

Great staff, great food, good rooms, but weekend nights have to be the worst nights for staying. Multiple events and wedding receptions are held right next to the accommodation residences from 10.00am to 11.00pm. Don't expect a restful day and evening if booking for the weekend.

The resort was beautiful and quite peaceful. A good getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel staff should be given a refresher in good customer service. It was lacking particularly for those serving in the restaurant. Quite disappointing

VEry well run and top class. Managers seem on top of things. At price I paid it was good value. Bathroom, matress, desk, room size, wifi, food quality were all high,. It is however too spead out.Gym and pool were 690 m from my room. some rooms would be even further - and it is somewhat uphill outdoor in heat and rain

It is a beautiful hotel and grounds which are nicely kept. They also have a lovely infinity pool and a larger pool. The food was good and great that you can order food from the restaurant at any time. However, there were a few things I was not happy with give the expensive price:
- we did not have wifi in our cottage until the last couple of days
- we didn’t have hot water the last couple of days
- all the managers are Asian. None are African.
- our cottage, which is set back from the hotel, is near a nightclub which was playing loud music most nights until the early hours.
- pillows were hard. I don’t think I slept well any of the nights

Nice calm place.
I did not like the complex business processes and the staff have passive rudeness (they are polite in speech but often ignore instructions and orders, sometime pretend they have not heard what you have heard).
Another thing, the internet in the residential rooms and the restaurant is horrible and frustrating. It is however very good in the conference centre. Hence, I can never go here as a business travelller.

I didn’t like the fact that room services left plates at my door for more than 3 days. This is so unclean.
This is risk for travelers to pickup bugs and cockroaches in their bags and bringing it to their homes .
