The experience here was truly unique. My wife and I felt taken care of from start to finish, even though we only had one night there. On any return trips to Arusha, this will be our preferred lodging.

It was great stay, everyone was welcoming and very courteous. The food was very good too. The only issue we faced at the time was construction going on around the pool area, so we couldn’t use that. And the internet was not available in the room for the evening, had to go to the lobby and use it. Other than that we had an amazing stay, and Alan the assistant manager was always available to make sure we had everything we need. Will come back here for sure!
