"The facilities were clean and housekeeping did a good job each day. We enjoyed the wait staff at the restaurant. There was one young lady, I cannot remember her name, but she was very kind and attentive. She would do very well in hospitality in America. The only negative was that we could not get the hot water to work in the shower. With the buttons turned on the water would never get hot and was hardly warm at all."

The bedrooms are nice but the biggest difference between them are the bathrooms. I would have rated it higher if I had stayed in one of the better rooms. The staff are all very nice and helpful."

"Der Check In gestaltete sich etwas schwierig. Wir waren drei Männer und hatten entsprechend zwei Zimmer, eins davon mit Doppelbett. Ein Tag später wurde uns gesagt, dass zwei Männer nicht in einem Bett schlafen können. Dies sei nach kenianischem Recht unzulässig. Somit mussten wir das Zimmer wechseln. Die Transparenz ließ somit zu Wünschen übrig. Insgesamt war die Ausstattung der Zimmer aber gut. Das Frühstück variierte von Tag zu Tag, war aber ok."
