Relaxing Spa Experience

I treated myself to a wonderful massage during my stay, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The spa area, although needing some updates, provided a serene setting for relaxation. Ester, my therapist, was incredibly skilled and made my experience very special. I left feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed!

My stay at the lodge was quite enjoyable overall. The beautiful junior suites offered breathtaking views of the valley and the Aberdares Range, and the ambiance was perfect for our family gathering. However, I think they could improve their Wi-Fi and electric power backups since we faced some issues during our stay. Overall, it was a lovely experience with lots of fun for the family.

I had a disappointing experience at the Oilepo cottage. Although it had potential, the overall service and communication about additional charges left a bad taste. In contrast, another stay at a beautiful lodge exceeded expectations with its stunning views and impressive amenities. I enjoyed the golf course and the attentive service throughout my time there.
