9.6/10 Exceptional! (39 reviews)
I spent four nights at the hotel and had a really fantastic time. Upon arrival I was greeted by very friendly staff and taken too my villa (Masai). The path to approach was surrounded by shrubbery which hide elephant shrews. Soon after I settled in I received a fruit platter and complimentary glass of white wine. At 5-6pm tea and cake was served at the bar every day. For dinner I was expecting a buffet, but instead I had a six course meal varying the menu every night. Chef was fantastic! The villa itself was spotless, very large and all the staff were superb I would like to make special mention of Maria one of the waiting staff who stood out. This is a great place if you really wish a bit of peace and quiet after safari. I would definitely revisit this hotel. I could not fault it.
