Fantastic Food Experience

The buffet dinner was a good surprise, featuring an extensive variety of fresh and delicious dishes each night. The themed nights, particularly the Swahili night, were truly really good and showcased fantastic local cuisine. The desserts were a highlight as well, with a great selection that pleased us daily.

The resort was a fantastic retreat after our safari, with a stunning beach and excellent food options. The rooms were spacious and clean, though I wished for bathrobes to match the quality of our safari lodges. The service was generally good, but I had some issues with the staff's treatment that made me uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxing getaway, but I hope improvements are made for employee well-being.
