The service is the best in the whole of Africa. It was amazing and immaculate rooms together with furniture. We made it a habit of now coming every year to this environment which will help us to bond further as a family. The food was so delicious such that very often my wife talks about the menu we had crave for that.

Upon arrival, we recieved the warmest of welcomes and got a mini tour of the place before heading to our rooms. The rooms were so clean and smelled like lavender. I'd definitely give their breakfast a big 10/10. Their friendly staff make the experience worth it. I'm definitely going again
