I was excited about this resort with its beautiful lakeside location, but my experience fell short. While the grounds were stunning and some staff were friendly, the family cottage lacked comfort and amenities, leaving me disappointed. The dining experience was poor, and the distance to the dining area was troublesome, especially at night. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the dugout canoe trip and appreciated the crafts shop's offerings.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The location by Lake Bunyonyi is absolutely stunning, with great views. The room we stayed in was spacious and clean, but the beds were uncomfortable and the noise from nearby guests kept us up at night. Although the dining options were quite lovely, some improvements could be made in the service speed. Overall, it's a decent stay, but with some issues that need addressing.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. The beautiful views of the lake were absolutely stunning, but the overall experience left much to be desired.

It felt like a real missed opportunity for what could have been a relaxing getaway.
