Clean room and very friendly staff. There were frequent power interruptions before the hotel generator kicked in, but that is a Zambian national problem and not due to the hotel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Nice grounds and premises, however, had a horrible check in experience. Were placed in a room opposite the house keeping services which woke us up late at night and also 7am in the morning with cackling staff who did not respect guests.. they subsequently moved us to another room and the shower leaked into the corridor and got clothes and shoes wet. Needs some attention...

1. It is unfortunate that the property did not acknowledge messages sent through Expedia even though upon calling, they confirmed they not only had received but also action requests from those messages. An example is support pickup. 2. Despite confirming airport pickup by phone before travel, on arrival, there was no one waiting. Efforts to reach the property by phone upon arriving were unsuccessful (no one picked up) until we acquired a local simcard. Even then, there seems to have been poor coordination since the driver went to the domestic terminal despite having shared the flight number and airline. 3. Upon arriving at the property, the sense one got was over familiarity of staff, from reception to the spa, with guests of African descent. As a result, and based on sharing of experiences with other members of the wedding party of European descent, there was a clearly inferior service and experience. Even when we communicated dissatisfaction with service, or service failures, there was little effort to address the lapses. Most disappointing especially given that we had traveled for a beautiful event ie witnessing and celebrating the Union of a dear friend.

A beautiful property and close to the airport with a convenient shuttle. Book it ahead. Great pool. Dining options are good however many of the items on the menu are not available. The wine list is basic and their cellar air con was broken so it was warmer inside than out. All well intentioned and friendly service but training and execution are not quite where they could be.
