The first impression of the hotel was really disappointing - dated lobby design, paints peeling off the exterior of the dome, etc. However, it was the large swimming pool that really shone and the experience in swimming under the grove of palm trees was surely something quite unforgettable.

 

 

 

The room was roomy, recently renovated and had a large balcony which not only could we hang our laundry but also allowed me to take some good shots of the African night sky

Again, we stayed as a half-boarding option. While the dinner and breakfast was alright (things could not go too wrong in a buffet-style meal), lunch was a serious problem especially when you only have one paid restaurant with limited choices for 3 consecutive days. On the last day it was a relief to be leaving the hotel.
