Delicious Breakfast

“The breakfast at African House Resort was an absolute delight! From the perfectly cooked eggs to the fresh fruits, everything was delicious. I particularly enjoyed their fruit cake tart, a sweet surprise that I looked forward to each morning. The option to have breakfast served on the balcony overlooking the pool was the icing on the cake – a wonderful way to start the day!” view full review

Spacious & Comfortable

“I was blown away by the spaciousness and comfort of my room. The large four-poster bed was so inviting, and the decor was elegant, featuring beautiful antique furniture that added a unique charm. The air conditioning worked perfectly to combat the humidity, and the massive bathroom made my stay all the more luxurious. It felt like a private sanctuary just for me.” view full review

The attention to detail was evident, with everything meticulously arranged and clean. It felt more like a spa retreat than a hotel bathroom, making my stay even more enjoyable.” view full review

Stunning Swimming Pool

“The pool area at African House Resort was one of my favorite spots to relax. It was spacious and well-maintained, perfect for both swimming and lounging. I loved the large sun loungers around the pool, which provided the ideal setting for unwinding with a book or soaking up the sun. This tranquil oasis truly enhanced my experience.” view full review

However, the Wi-Fi could be improved as it isn't available in the rooms, and some dining options were on the pricey side compared to local spots.
