Staying at this hotel was truly a mixed experience. On the one hand, the location was superb with easy access to the Falls and lovely sightings of passing animals. The rooms, while offering a beautiful view, had some issues like water leakage and noise. The dining experience was delightful, especially outdoors. The service was exceptional, giving us a glimpse of remarkable hospitality. However, the noise from helicopter tours and a few maintenance issues slightly affected the overall stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable! The rooms were incredibly spacious, well-equipped, and impeccably clean. Having ample plugs for all my electronics was a big plus, and I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of insect repellent – a first in my experience. The large bathrooms added an extra touch of comfort. The only downside was that the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
