The hotel looks great but the food was pretty poor, even for Africa standards. Instead of tortillas we got chibati, after being promised tortillas. We found out there were no tortillas after they brought out the rest of the food & then had to wait 20 mins while they found some chibatis. The cake was hard as a rock &... More

The service was Terrible! 50 minutes to receive coffee and almost 2 hours from the time we ordered dinner until we received it. Rooms are fine and the staff is friendly but will stay else ware my next visit.

Rooms are typical of a resort like this, with clean tile floors, large comfortable bed, clean bathroom, plenty of hot water, TV with cable channels and small patio out to... More

This hotel must have been recently done over and the public rooms are better than the actual rooms which have small bathrooms and sometimes no access to the outside balcony or patio. Rooms too close to public areas tend to be noisy. Very efficient front desk.

Service was somewhat slow, but the staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful.... More
