Amazing hotel. We absolutely loved our stay. Room was modern, clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great but the dinner buffet was simply outstanding. The staff are all so friendly, yet professional. And the pool deck is wonderful. I will definitely stay here again.

A estrutura e localização são perfeitas. Os safaris foram espetaculares, o guia Bright foi sensacional. O tranfer de/para aeroporto praticamente ja foi um safari, vimos muitos animais e o motorista parava pra fotos e explicava tudo. Staff educado e atencioso. O café da manhã e o jantar são maravilhosos. Retornarei em breve.
