Amazing stay at UMVA! Quiet, gorgeous architecture, yummy food, and lovely community vibes at dinner. I really enjoyed kayaking on the lake!! And throughout, felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Definitely recommend! ##### Rajnee Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We just spent 3 nights at UMVA Muhazi and what a delight it is. UMVA (Kinyarwanda for 'listen' or 'experience') is not the run of the mill resort on a lake. It is a small (9 units) facility that is big on creating experiences that build community (and wonderful memories). All 9 units are separate, and each has a small patio on the front to overlook the lake. Although it is built on a hill, there are beautiful stone pathways and stairs that make getting around very easy. The buildings themselves are beautiful. They are works of art! The staff are friendly and helpful and engaging. Breakfast offers a cold buffet and cooked to order (full English breakfast available). Lunch can be chosen from 3 options given each day. Breakfast and lunch are served as you arrive. Dinner is a different approach. It is a community meal that begins promptly at 7pm. Dinner includes an amuse bouche, soup, salad, palate cleanser, main and dessert. This is not a tasting menu. The servings are generous and tasty. If you're a bird lover, you will be delighted. Both the natural flora and the planted landscaping provides a veritable feast for the birds. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Peaceful ##### Dennis Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beach Hotel in Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Hawaii-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d213-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Vancouver Downtown Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Vancouver-Downtown-Suites.h74448.Hotel-Information) > > [Orakai Insadong Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Orakai-Insadong-Suites.h9780752.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ontario-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11178-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Richmond Vancouver Airport Comfy Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-YVR-Vickies-Bed-And-Breakfast.h19161787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/Heathrow-Airport-Hotels.0-aLHR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maldives-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d109-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [De Sol Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-De-Sol-Spa-Hotel.h6839252.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kimberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kowloon-Hotels-The-Kimberley-Hotel.h23251.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Bukovel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bukovel-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Resort-Bukovel.h5270360.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Irkutsk (IKT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ikt/toronto-to-irkutsk) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Québec City (YQB) to Banff (YBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqb/yba/quebec-to-banff) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Alberta (YQF) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqf/yvr/red-deer-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/dps/manila-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178296/flights-from-ottawa) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yxx/ottawa-to-abbotsford) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Yellowstone National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Yellowstone-National-Park-Yellowstone-National-Park.d6130056.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Glen Eden Ski and Snowboard Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Glen-Eden-Ski-And-Snowboard-Centre-Toronto.d6089435.Vacation-Attraction) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
