Excellent Food Options

I really enjoyed the dining experience at the resort. They offered a diverse menu with excellent grilled meat choices that were very well prepared. Prices were reasonable, and the meals were a highlight of my stay. I especially appreciated the crayfish from the lake, which was a special treat during our evening meals.

I had a great time staying in one of the new blocks of rooms. They were large with good water pressure, which made my showers enjoyable. Each room offered a beautiful view of the lake, and I loved the outdoor seating available for relaxing. The amenities really contributed to a restful stay.

The resort offers stunning views right on the lake shore, providing a beautiful setting for relaxation. While my stay was enjoyable, the room I had was quite basic and a bit dated. The dining options were decent, particularly the local crayfish, but the service could use some improvement. Overall, it's a good spot for those visiting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, though some aspects might need a little attention.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The location by the beautiful lake provided amazing views, but the service was lacking, especially during check-in. Though the dining area was cozy with a nice communal vibe, the overall experience was marred by outdated facilities and issues in the room. I did enjoy some pleasant moments, but there's certainly room for improvement in many areas.
