Overall the property has a lot of potential. The grounds were quite overgrown and unkempt, and the rooms while tidy, had poor finishing particularly with respect painting, where there was paint all over everything. The timber shutters on the terrace doors were broken, one set didn't close at the bottom. The wifi was very unstable through the property, and could not maintain a connection. In the room it did not work at all, and I was unable to do my work until later in the first evening when the IT person was able to install an additional AP in my room. The food in the restaurant was OK, nothing to write home about, and would expect more for example from breakfast, where the fruit selection was limited despite there being an abundance of fresh fruit varieties from street vendors on the roadsides not far from the Resort. The staff were adequate, but lacked the bubbly, friendly and enthusiastic energy that I've experienced almost everywhere across East Africa.
