Great space and excellent service. Gift shop on site was never open. The room was large but the walls are paper thin.

This place is not cheap. The level of service was not commensurate with the price.
Beautiful grounds and facility.
HOWEVER, they could not find my reservation on arrival (booked through Expedia, I provided confirmation number) and kept us waiting for 30 minutes while they worked it out. Rooms were available so to keep us waiting was needlessly vexatious. The front desk staff blamed Expedia, without taking responsibility for their role.
Water pressure in the room was low to the point of having barely a drip for shower.
Despite booking for 2 adults, breakfast was included for only one.
Just a low level of service that one would expect from a cheaper hotel, not worth the $400 I paid.

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.

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.

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 .

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

This is the last time I will ever stay here. It has gone downhill the last few years and this is the last straw. (Between 2017-2023 I have stayed here 13-15 times and I will never return). The internet was so bad I had to use my own data from Canada - the exact thing happened last year May 2022 when I stayed here and they told me it was because they ‘had a conference’. That is no excuse- they need to buy more data if they have more people on the property. The same excuse was given this time - I’m on a business trip and it’s unacceptable to have no workable Wi-Fi for a hotel that charges this much money. Second, I had booked an upgraded room from the standard room and when I looked at it it was on the ground floor and the screen was broken and the room had a very strong smell of cockroach/ pesticide spray. I asked for a second floor room and was told I would need to pay an extra $110 a night! To not be in a room with a broken screen and terrible smell! Unbelievable. Third, everything feels cheap and falling apart. The shower this morning had no water and then no hot water for half an hour. If it was a cheaper place I would understand but at this price point you actually need to work to keep the place acceptable. When I first stayed here there was matching toiletries with an African brand - now it’s all mismatched with many in what looks like a blank toothpaste tube with just the word shampoo. This is not acceptable at this price point. I will be moving to stay at Latitude next

They made my parents visit a painful one.
I booked for my parents to stay there and I paid the airport shuttle and we had to remind them to pick them up and when they checked out they tried to scam them and charge them again a 53$! They thought they were going to pay because of the rush of checking out! Fortunately I took a picture and I had the bank proof!! You are scammers!!
No slippers in the room and my dad had to pay a 20 000 Ugandan shilling for slippers!
I celebrated my birthday over there and forgot my phone at the security point bucket at the hotel entrance and it got stolen,we are all convinced after the shuttle issue that it was stolen there! And the location phone is showing last seen there!
We spent a lot on birthday and my dad wanted to enjoy the birthday celebration and asked to put the bill on the room and he would pay later and they made it an issue saying he could leave without paying as his room was paid in advance,yes because a important person from another country is going to leave without paying a miserable 250$!!
The only decent person in that hotel was Samuel the server!! He treated us well and his service was amazing.
The management is disorganised and they are crooked!! All scammers!! I will not recommend this hotel to anyone!
If you choose to book,take pictures of every receipt as the wifi too may not allow you to check your bank account statements!

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.

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.

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

The property was clean and beautiful, however, the customer service was bad, rude, just not on the same level as the property. Customer service was disappointing.

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

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.

The staff were attentive and took good care of our needs, despite a very late check in and a reservation booking issue.

Great place, very recomended. The only remark and offer to other travelers is to ask for a room with good wifi connection since there are areas where the wifi is not so good. Except of this. The place is clean, the food is good and service is fantastic
