Wonderful experience, would so do it again.
Pros:

Completeness of the room stay to activities that one could engage in. The hospitality team from Justine, Alice, Rachel and Immaculate were very kind.

Cons:

The beddings could be aclimatised to warm weather, but that is really a minor thing if at all.

Lovely room for a romantic getaway
Pros:

Very comfortable, romantic, charming, room with a view on the river Nile. The bed and tent were comfortable and allowed for very good sleep. The setting were very pretty.

Cons:

The restaurant did not serve very good food à la carte; it was acceptable but not the level you would expect in this price range. The pool area needs to be improved, it is not inviting and has very few places.

Highly Recommended
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at Adrift River Club! The location is unbeatable, the rooms are spacious, well thought and in the case of the river facing ones.. with amazing views!! The staff is attentive, the breakfast is very much in order and the restaurant does a good job. Good wi-fi, great amenities and a very satisfactory experience.

Cons:

I have seen a few too many times the reception unattended.. including at night when I needed my keys but it's a minor issue, in an otherwise great stay. Highly recommended.

Excellent grounds, Great Service, Exceptional Manager
Pros:

The property was beautiful, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I have now stayed at this property twice and each time it exceeds my expectations. If you're looking for a great place to stay that's NICE, clean, safe, able to cater to an international crowd, and affordable look no further!

I plan to continue to take family and friends to visit as we travel to Jinja for trips. I also HAVE to shout out their on-site Manager, Robert. He is an INCREDIBLY thoughtful, professional, and seasoned manager. I WISH every hotel I stayed at had a manager like Robert. He ensures guests feel welcome, safe, and accommodated with whatever needs they have. I can't emphasize enough how important that is to me personally, and how much of a difference it makes when you're far from home, or traveling with friends.

Cons:

Everything was great, I have no complaints.
