My room wan not clean, so they immediately gave me a another room. It is right in front of the beach. The breakfast is fresh and the restaurant food was fresh to order and very delicious. It is a little out from the city but well worth the drive for the cost compared to other resorts in Mwanza. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan, USA Nov 13, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top Notch Very clean and very classy.
