This is a lovely hotel, beautiful well kept grounds and a lovely pool area. The room was large, bed comfortable and lovely big bath towels.. For a 4 star hotel I was surprised there were no box of tissues, a minor detail but very useful and normally found in even 3 star hotels I have stayed at. The staff were friendly and helpful. We dined here twice as we stay pre and post safari. The first evening we had a pizza each. Mine was cold and my husbands nice and hot, which suggests my margarita had been held back whilst my husbands was cooked. I returned it and it came back very dark and brown, but just about edible! The second evening meal we ordered a dish each and a portion of fries to share. My husband's meal arrived with no sign of mine or the fries. We waited a short while then called the waiter over who said mine would be about 5 minutes. We complained that we wanted to eat together so he took away my husband's pizza and eventually both meals and the fries were delivered together. Again, my husband's pizza was now overdone! Their chef really needs to work on his timings!

The breakfast was spectacular. The views from the rooms are spectacular. Mount Meru on the front view and a greenery park at the back. The rooms are cosy and staff were simply top.

The view was gorgeous. Felt really safe. The food was pricy but taste good (just hope it was served faster as I waited for almost one hour). Didn't have enough time to use but there was a pool as well.

Enjoyed everything about the hotel except dinner, that was slow, came out incorrect and not cooked!! We then had to wait for it to be replace but was offered fruit instead (of a burger!!!). The front of house staff and manager were good and tried to fix the problem but the kitchen seemed to be chaotic! We were assure we would only pay for one burger!!! After the chaos/wait, in my opinion, we shouldn’t have been for the undercooked one or the replacement!! It didn’t at all spoil our stay but that and the patchy wifi, it’s not what we would expect from a 4* hotel…
