Consideration of late check-out for golf player

Most of the facilities and services were satisfactory, but the hotel lacked consideration for golf players regarding check-out times. Even if start playing golf at 7 am when the golf course opens, at least 4 hours of play time is needed and extra 1 hour for showering and check-out preparation, but I was asked to check out at 10 am, and even if late check-out was allowed, I was asked to check out by 11:30 am at the latest. I think this is because the hotel, (they say 'Golf Resort'), does not understand the nature of the game of golf, and I hope this will be corrected in the future.

I booked 2 weeks in advance but was Made to wait over half an hour to ready our rooms even though we only arrived at the hotel at 1600hrs. Miscommunication by hotel on Golf Course access resulted in me booking and traveling over 8hrs (one way) only to find out that there is a competition on and course is booked, even after I specifically asked this before booking. Had correct information been given, I would have planned my trip on a different date. Overall disappointing in comparison to previous stays at Serena. Only positive is that certain staff showed usual helpfulness and friendly atmosphere, while others not so much

Angenehmes und schönes Hotel

Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Einzig eine Nacht hatten wir viel Lärm von anderen Zimmern zu ertragen. Das Schwimmbad ist super, der Golfplatz wunderbar gelegen. Das Essen war mehrheitlich gut. Das Hotel selber ist in einer sehr schönen Umgebung mit Blick auf den See.

Schöne top gepflegte Anlage mit Blick zum Viktoria See.Zimmer gut ausgestattet mit sehr gutem Moskitonetz.Keine Badewanne in Standart Zimmern.Personal leider desinteressiert, keiner grüsst auf dem Weg zum Frühstück, auch beim Frühstück selbst nicht aufmerksam! Der Gipfel war allerdings dass wir bei einem leeren Hotel 100 Dollar zahlen mussten weil wir wegen spätem Abflug länger unser Zimmer behalten wollten. Nicht schön!

Some problems to begin - but they got it right.

After a rocky start during the first of 4 days at this hotel, we got all the attention adn service we wanted. Great reaction of hotel management to early and true complaints - and great service for the remaining 3 days. Kids loved the pool and playground, we loved the gardens and setting, and the whole family loved the food. Highly recommended.

Great hotel but...

Good hotel. Breakfast is a let down though compared to Kampala serena .( this has been the case for years. This time round Paid for deluxe room and got joined twin beds ( not what i paid for really) . It’s a great hotel , management just need to change their attitude on service delivery . When you pay $220 you expect to get your money’s worth. Not a watered service .

Disappointment

There was a confusion during my check in. I was told by receptionist that hotel reservation team didn't pick up my reservation from Expedia. So, I had to wait when it was finally done. Just try to imagine I booked hotel 10 days in advance!!! So, reservation team couldn't do it within 10 days before my arrival. As a result of this obvious mistake I was given the room in the lowest block allocated very far from main facilities and definitely with the worst view. However, I was told that I'll be moved to the better block and room with better view the next dat after some guests would checked out. It never happened. When I was checking out I asked the same receptionist why I wasn't moved to other room as was promised. I was tod - sorry, we had a wedding....:-))) I wanted to ask, does it mean that you didn't know about the wedding event in your Facilities the day before when you promised to move me to the better room??? I had a problems to get connected to wifi cuz my last name was input in the system with error. So, hotel IT Manager interference was required to solve this issue. Finally it was done. The electrical power card switch at the.room entrance was faulty. So, when I returned back to my room in the evening I was not capable to put on the lite in the room and I had to call to reception for assistance. When Finally one employee arrived to help me, he explained that this switch has a problem and I need to insert the card in a special way pushing it out of the wall..

Oasis in the desert (so to speak).

Generally amazing! Food not so great! Service hit and miss! A few of the staff (young James, for example, top class!) some of the staff, mainly female, could have been more forthcoming. A smile here and there goes a long way!
