    Cons -

    • Spa is too tense Not 100% visitor friendly Not match up with other spas in the hotels in regionLoosen up a little
    • The restaurant did not have any food that I tried to order. Half of the menu is Indian food (which I love) but then I was told that no Indian food was available. I attempted to order a starter - nothing. I left without anything. Very disappointing.The bed was very hard and uncomfortable.

    Location next the lake

    Mosquitoes, lizards, breakfast, and no slippers

    9susanPosted on: 7-3-2025

    Loved being on the lake. The staff at the restaurants and bar was amazing.

    The mattress was a little to firm.

    The breakfast was wonderful. not like a continental breakfast, but a full blown with even someone there to cook omelettes.

    They won't let you bring any food or drink onto the grounds from the outside. Like a bottle of wine for you to share in your room with a few snacks.

    Great location, clean and well maintained daily. Professional staff and pay attention to details, go beyond extra mile to satisfy customers. Food is fresh and delicious. My husband and I had a great time at Tilapia, will recommend to others.

    We did not realize the rooms have a safe locker till the last day, however the place is safe and secure.

    good food very pleasant staff great views at the restaurant cold beer

    all good except you had to plan for a hot shower

    9ReinhardPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Breakfast was not the most varied I've ever had but was decent. The restaurant and breakfast room being open to the lake was very good. The management found me a room with a lakeside view which I wanted but had not expected. Staff were all great.

    10TrudyPosted on: 3-24-2025

    I liked the ambiance, familiair environment, and the view. Fantastic.

    8PetraPosted on: 3-10-2025

    Convenient location Variety of areas to relax Very inviting and welcoming

    Rooms need updating. Looks a little tired and outdated. Our balcony chairs were not very comfortable. Bathroom was missing a shower curtain.

    perfect place to calm down, enjoying the lake view, having a nice drink

    8RandyPosted on: 11-26-2024

    8JohannaPosted on: 11-22-2024

    Nice location, food and staff

    8AndrePosted on: 11-12-2024

    Very nice hotel. Located directly at Lake Victoria. Very friendly and helpful employees.

    Nothing to complain about. Food was good. But looks like its not usual to order a icecream desert because the presentation was not good compared to the other food. It was almost funny to see a big portion of icecream pressed in a glass.

    9GeorgiaPosted on: 11-6-2024

    Beautiful room, had a nice balcony with a lovely view of the lake. The tv wasn’t working but I was able to call and someone came to fix this issue quickly.
