Exceptional hotel, true to the quality and service of all the Serena Hotels. What a joy to stay in this hotel with its beautiful pool, gardens and restaurants. The service is always perfection.

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were super friendly and professional, including the concierge folks and housekeeping. Notably, Joshua, Mary and Miriam, in the dining room room and John were amazing. Our room was rather small, but still very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the spa treatment as well and the dining breakfast options were amazing and I appreciate it that they had vegan options for myself. We will definitely come back for future trip trips.

A gorgeous, comfortable, perfectly situated hotel. Wonderful and friendly staff with amazing service. Restaurants on-site if you don’t feel like heading out but easy to get other restaurants if you do. The staff made sure we were well taken care of. Loved staying here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend. Five stars.

The management does not post or indicate rules of dining room area. I felt very uncomfortable when ambushed by a guy who said he was a manager, when i was getting a bagel and scone to go after breakfast for my meeting. He told me that i was not to carry anything from dining or order room service! That's not what i was told by another staff member who had provided me with a to go bag and container! I was PISSED!

Was able to add a day room booking when we were returning from our safari, rather than spending 8 hours in the airport. The hotel staff was so accommodating to make sure we had everything we wanted even for our short stay.
