Pros:

Dos funcionários do restaurante do jantar, da vista da piscina que da para um rio e é possível ver animais mais no fim da tarde, vi hipopótamo, o hotel é lindo.

Cons:

Providenciaram um café bem completinho as 06hs para irmos ao safari. Mas fiz safari privativo pois o deles voltava perto do meio dia e eu precisava sair as 11: 45 por conta do transfer e voo, então voltei as 10hs e queria aproveitar o café que finalizava as 10:30 e não deixaram. Pelo valor que pagamos a diária não tinha essa necessidade de negar o café. Até pq o café é a vontade. No kit veio yourte e eu não tomo, assim como outros que é totalmente diferente de comer lá na hora. Mas só isso me desapontou.

Wonderful
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it.

The hotel itself is excellent, with a welcoming atmosphere and great facilities. The staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

There are plenty of activities available for all ages, including mini golf, volleyball, chess, a playground for children, swimming pools, and game and reading rooms. It’s perfect whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or with family.

The buffet is another highlight — both breakfast and dinner offer a wide variety of options and everything is very well prepared and delicious.

The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, and the beds are especially cozy, ensuring a great night’s sleep.

Overall, it’s a fantastic hotel with something for everyone. I would definitely come back!

Cons:

The only downside during our stay was that the room consumables (tea, coffee, milk, and sugar) were not consistently replenished, which was a bit disappointing.

Another point worth mentioning is the pool that overlooks the river, where you can watch animals coming to drink water at the end of the day — a truly beautiful and unique experience. However, this pool is restricted to guests aged 13 and above. We were traveling with two children (6 and 7 years old) who were very well behaved — they were calm, not running or making noise, simply enjoying the view of the animals. Despite this, we were asked to leave and move to the children’s pool, which is located in a more enclosed area without the same view.

While we understand that this is the hotel’s policy, given how quiet and respectful our children were, it would have been nice if an exception could have been made. Additionally, it felt a bit inconsistent that smoking is not allowed in the “adult” pool area, but is permitted in the children’s pool area.
