10/10 Excellent
"I’ve travelled to over 100 countries and this is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Really cannot speak too highly of it. Beautiful setting, beautiful rooms incredible staff who really couldn’t do enough.. I am slightly disabled and I need the use of a walking stick. The grounds are quite large. A member of staff saw me struggling and immediately radioed for a buggy . They gave me a WhatsApp number for reception and after that, I just needed to message them and they would pick me up and take me anywhere.. Kenya is also an amazing country and the people are really right up there amongst the nicest and friendliest I’ve come across"
