An amazing stay with wonderful staff and view of Lake Victoria. We got there at around 1 a.m., and it's amazing that we found two wonderful ladies and the chef waiting for us. They helped us to our rooms and the chef made us dinner which was ready in less 20 minutes. The rooms are quite spacious with comfortable beds. No complaints about cleanliness also.
