Kassanda Luxury Vacations

The location is a short walk from Entebbe Road where you can easily hail a van taxi. The apartment I stayed in had great views where I could see Lake Victoria. And beyond I could see the mountain view. The property is equipped with solar which came in handy a few times when the regular lights shut off. Then the solar would normally kick in. This happened a few times while I was there. There were two Sundays where the water was shut off. That was a bit alarming. The first Sunday the water came back at 12:45 pm. The following Sunday the water returned at 4:55 pm. Needless to say that was annoying. During that week I asked if the water will be shut off again. I informed the office that where I live the water is sometimes shut off but the management would put a notice by the elevators so tenants know what to expect. At Vee they did bring a huge canister with fresh water that could be used for showering. There is security at the gates. And even the windows have metal bars. So you feel well protected inside the apartment. There was a choice of three options for breakfast in the morning which is included in the total price. That was convenient because I did not have to buy extra food items to make breakfast. The only thing you need is your coffee, even so they did send up some teabags and sugar. One thing about Vee is if you exit the back gate you can go walking or jogging. There is a lot of distance to take walks back there. And there is the swimming pool if you want to dip.

We stayed at the Protea hotel in Entebbe for 2 nights to be close to the airport. The hotel property is nice, located on lake Victoria with view of the water, a waterside park with benches, play area for children and pool. The rooms are spacious compared to rooms we’ve stayed in while in Europe. The bathroom is small and doesn’t reflect a 4star hotel bathroom. The caulking is poorly done and coming apart, the style is extremely outdated with fluorescent lights taking away any warmth from the room. The shower water will take 3-4 minutes to heat up but once heated can get very hot. The hotel has a restaurant within called Tides which was average, with slightly higher prices than I’ve seen throughout the country. First night I had the Nile perch and husband had the steak which were both good and decent portions. The following day we had the breakfast buffet which had tons of fruit, cereal and bread with option to have eggs/omelette ordered. For lunch we had the snack bites with nachos and spring rolls by the pool side with a really delicious smoothie. That night we opted for grilled tilapia and burger for dinner however shortly after we were violently ill less 10 hours before our long flight back home to the US. We had food poisoning from one of the meals that day (all at Tides restaurant). They do offer a 24hr shuttle service that was very punctual and arrived prior to the scheduled 2:30am departure. Convenient place to stay if you are leaving for the airport at odd times.
