We had an amazing experience at Tembo Hotel. The location is super central, the hotel is clean, stylish, and very well-maintained. Our room had an absolutely stunning view — it really made the stay extra special! A big shout-out to the staff: we checked out after midnight at 1 AM, and they arranged transport to the airport and even packed breakfast for us to take along. That level of service truly impressed us. Highly recommended — we would definitely stay here again! ##### Kenan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely fab Absolutely fabulous hotel. Room was spacious. Staff all spoke English well and were very helpful. Full breakfast buffet (free) with lots of variety. Open air dining on the beach if you like, or eat inside. They have bag storage if you want to do one last day at the beach after checkout. And they even have a changing room with shower and clean towels if you do that last beach day. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mountain Hotels in Pine Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Pine-Mountain-Hotels-Mountain-Hotels.0-0-d145934-tMountainHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Effingham](https://www.expedia.ca/Effingham-Hotels.d7822.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Nahant](https://www.expedia.ca/Nahant-Hotels.d136653.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Green Cabin - Hot tub, EV, Fire Pit, Hammock](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashford-Hotels-Green-Cabin-At-Mt-Rainier-With-Hot-Tub.h99453670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Kitchenettes in Grand Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Park-Fraser-Hotels-Hotels-With-Kitchenettes.0-n553248635976469421-0-tHotelswithKitchenettes.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Laughlin](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels.d10747.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Shenyang](https://www.expedia.ca/Shenyang-Hotels.d3149.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hastings-Sunrise](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Sunrise-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n3000662909-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d602873-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hamptons](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamptons-Hotels.d6056452.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [LGBT Friendly Hotels in Granada City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Granada-City-Center-Granada-Hotels-LGBT-Friendly-Hotel.0-n553248635939578935-0-tLGBTFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Catalonia Montego Bay - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Catalonia-Montego-Bay-All-Inclusive.h25000.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Beaupre](https://www.expedia.ca/Beaupre-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d55251-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Western Montana](https://www.expedia.ca/Western-Montana-Hotels-Honeymoon-Hotels.0-0-d6229377-tHoneymoonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Guest Houses Besancon](https://www.expedia.ca/Besancon-Guest-Houses.d4747-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Koto](https://www.expedia.ca/Koto-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n179175-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (YXU) to Comox (YQQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yqq/london-to-comox) > > [Flights from Sudbury (YSB) to Niagara Falls (IAG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysb/iag/sudbury-to-niagara-falls) > > [Flights from Eagle Pass (EGP) to San Antonio (SAT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/egp/sat/eagle-pass-to-san-antonio) > > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to Iqaluit (YFB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/yfb/seattle-to-iqaluit) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Incheon-Intl.d6024478.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages ### Vacation Rentals ### General
