We only stayed here one night, however, it was a beautiful and welcoming facility. The staff was more than attentive, there was a small walking trail around the perimeter and the food was amazing. There isn’t much to do in the surrounding vicinity, but its atmosphere and cleanliness would have made us stay longer if we could.

Easy, free transfer to/from airport: drivers efficient and extremely friendly and accommodating. Grounds are beautiful and room was quiet and very clean and spacious. We only had one night (partial) as we had a very early flight out. I wish we had booked this hotel for our stay prior our Kilimanjaro trek. It would have been much more comfortable than the more expensive resort hotel we booked in Arusha. If we come back, this is definitely where we will be staying.

Safari Wind Down

We wanted to have a chance to relax a bit after our nine day safari and chose to stay here because it is close to the airport. You will be amazed by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness, the delicious food, and the grounds, as the gardens are lovely. You will not be disappointed with choosing this hotel, they even have a nice pool and spa. The only cons were that there is no mini fridge in the room and the WiFi can be a little challenging.

I had a wonderful day at this hotel. Everyone was so welcoming from the staff. One of the staff members took me to my room, carry my luggage and also ensure that I was able to get room service to my room. They also have a complementary shuttle to the airport, which is amazing. The property is so nice and the food is delicious when I come back I will definitely be staying in this hotel.

The staff made this stay amazing! They were super! Our flight got delayed and we arrived very late however they still brought us hibiscus tea, cookies, and warm clothes. My husband had climbed Kilamanjaro and arrived before me, he enjoyed the spa and took advantage of the laundry. They did a great job!
