Stayed here and Ilala during our trip. It is a fairly unique place with the restaurant overlooking a watering hole used by a variety of animals. The sunset from the deck is amazing. I think this was a better place than Ilala. I thought the food was better and the rooms were similar in quality. One advantage is that our bed had a mosquito net and Ilala did not. The only real negative about this place is that it is a 5-10 minute drive from town, but this isn't a such a huge deal. The staff were all courteous and helpful. The breakfast is very nice. I would stay here again.

Location is descent and rooms are spacious but what this hotel really lacks is attention to detail. Staff is unattentive and there is a genuine feeling that you are bothering them when asked to do something as simple as bring down a few towels to the poolside area, which mind you took four times and over an hour to finally be done. Just not a five or even four star experience. Note they are adding rooms so construction may be overbearing in the months to come.

One evening a wonderful Thunderstorm with a lightning that lit up the sky broke out. We were seated in the restaurant where a yellow glowing light illuminated the watering hole before the storm. But with the lightning, the experience was surreal, and a crowd gathered in the restaurant and actually applauded the lightning storm. I'm not sure everyone agreed on who they were applauding for, the Lord of the Lightning, or mother nature? But, it was an incredible memory in the midst of a much needed January rain storm, and the glowing sky. I wanted the night to last forever.

Waking up with the monkeys in the veranda was funny. Views are good, with animals coming to drink from the waterhole.
