    • Very clean and wonderful saff
    • Beautiful well maintained property. Very welcoming friendly staff

    Cons -

    • We had a bad first night which was out of the control of the hotel, a religious gathering was taking place in the park next door with music until 2am. Also the A/C in the room kept turning on and off sounding a chime each time. 3 visits by maintenance.

    • Everything was fabulous!

    Great hotel. Consistent with high quality facilities, amenities and service, bed linen etc. Myself and family have returned again and again for years. The staff, lead by the GM and his Deputy are simply amazing! they always go out of their way to make our stay enjoyable in every way possible. Most efficient service with a beautiful smile always from all - security, concierge, reception, restaurants, spa, housekeeping! Truly appreciated.

    Everything was fabulous!

    10MichaelPosted on: 12-8-2025

    Very friendly and attentive staff from the greeting getting out of the Uber. Everyone wanted to make sure our stay was special. The spa was a great bonus and the massage was excellent and reasonably priced for a luxury level hotel.

    10LouisePosted on: 9-27-2025

    The hotel is gorgeous, several restaurants to choose from. It has a wonderful and reasonably priced gift shop. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms and hotel are immaculate and beautifully decorated.

    9JessicaPosted on: 4-23-2025

    I arrived at the hotel feeling extremely unwell after a rough 8 hr drive - the staff were extremely attentive and efficient in getting me & my friend checked in fast. I was very grateful for a super comfy bed, a/c and room service, along with the pool & massage to make use of the next day. The driver that took us to the airport after checkout was amazing - super professional & lovely car. Just the comfort we needed. Thank you.

    Noisy works going on above the pool, but I get that this has to happen at some point during the year.

    Wake up call coffee and all the water I needed brought to my room. The workout center. The massage center. The pool. The great food. The professional kind staff.

    i have stayed at this property for many years going back twenty years.

    arrived at one am in morning and asked the front desk some important questions which were to be answered in the morning by manager but got no replay all during my stay , simple gushers like fruits , cookes or anything which you expect from a hotel of this standard was not forthcoming . a simple gesture makes a guest welcome . i am a member of Taj , Four seasons , Hatt and know what service should be .

    8SarahPosted on: 12-9-2024

    The room was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was superb.

    Probably a little over priced in comparison with other 4-5 * hotels I’ve stayed at but still very nice

    10RobynPosted on: 11-9-2024

    Everything about the hotel was top-notch. The rooms were modern, beautiful and with top quality bedding. The heated pool and dining areas were amazing. The gym was ultra-modern with a real trainer to assist. The gardens were beautiful. The concierge and front desk were professional and helpful. The store was great. All staff, wonderful. We also stayed at the Lake Elmentaita and Masai Mara Serena Lodges with the same experiences. If you want a classy vacation, book with Serena!

    Clean, well insulated rooms. African design was lovely and it was great to have access to the outdoor pool. We loved being able to watch the premier league matches at the bar. Some of the staff were very nice, particularly at the bar.

    The room missed a few items every time we stayed there (we stayed two nights, separated by a trip to Masai Mara) - like a pair of slippers, enough wine glasses or an iron. Food and coffee were surprisingly average, rather slow from the moment you ordered. The worst of all was the game driver we had arranged through the hotel - polite, nice, excellent driving skills, but we spent 6 days googling details about the animals we saw because he wouldn’t give us much info about them unless we asked, and when we asked the answers were very short; we also missed seeing a couple of animals which all the other people at the hotel we stayed at in Masai Mara saw. Quite disappointing for the amount of money we spent and for what was meant to be an experience of a life time. I wouldn’t recommend booking game drivers through this hotel.

    The rooms were stuffy and by the changed me of adults rates and gave single room when I ask I was told there's no other room

    I have not enjoyed my weekend The bedding were totally different

    8MelvinPosted on: 6-24-2024

    I really liked the room sizes and the different restaurants within the property. The spa and pool area were my favorites.

    The room service took longer than expected on one too many occasions.
