A gorgeous, comfortable, perfectly situated hotel. Wonderful and friendly staff with amazing service. Restaurants on-site if you don’t feel like heading out but easy to get other restaurants if you do. The staff made sure we were well taken care of. Loved staying here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend. Five stars.

Was able to add a day room booking when we were returning from our safari, rather than spending 8 hours in the airport. The hotel staff was so accommodating to make sure we had everything we wanted even for our short stay.

The pool was heated and perfect, lots of outdoor dining. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the ala carte restaurants were fair, my husband was sick after eating prawns at the main dining room. Lacked space to walk outside safely. Too close to downtown but more suited for business travel.
