Let me start off by saying... WOW.
This was my first visit to Kenya, and I feel like I could not have picked a better hotel. "Property condition & facilities" only got 4 stars because they are renovating so I had to go to their sister hotel to use the pool, which also means the gym was temporarily closed.
At the top of the endless list of positives: THE STAFF. I cannot say enough about the staff and how incredible every single staff member was that I encountered. I felt loved, respected, seen, cared for, and welcomed during every minute of the 4 days I was there. Eunice, Emily, Emily, Kendra, Sarah, Boneface, Beatrice, Beatrice, Samuel, Richard, Edgar... the list goes on.. and they were all SPECTACULAR! I felt like I was a part of the family. My heart was full of joy and love the entire time I was there because of the staff.
The management is strong and extremely personable. The front desk staff members are dedicated, thoughtful and attentive. The concierge/porter team is friendly, quick, observant, and charming. The dining team and the kitchen team are engaging, delightful, invested and joyous. And lastly, the housekeeping team was warmhearted, hard-working and cheerful.
In addition to the staff, the room I stayed in was perfect, clean and very comfortable! AND the food from the dining room not only met my expectations but exceeded them! Definitely get the breakfast option!
Honestly, I cannot wait to go back. They made my trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
