Beautiful resort on the shores of lake Malawi. We stayed in a Superior room which seemed recently renovated and was large and comfortable and had a lake view. Food and drinks were good and staff was helpful. Also enjoyed a very nice massage at the SPA. Recommended!

A lovely stay on the shore of lake malawi offering beautiful views, comfortable rooms, a sandy beach and great service. The hotel is littered with amenities such as tennis courts, football pitches, pools and of course the beach. All meals are buffet style and I had no complaints. Unfortunately lake suites are somewhat impractical for non couples as the shower/bath are in the room with no divider which can be awkward to work around. The rooms are clean and stocked with fresh sheets, towels and toiletries along with bottled water and hot drinks.

I cannot recommend this wonderful place too highly - it was perfect. We had the most enjoyable and relaxing stay, and found everything to be of the highest quality. We will definitely return for another taste of paradise.
