A beautiful and tropical lodge very close to the airport
Pros:

The staff were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. The gardens are magnificent with many playful blue monkeys in the trees.

Cons:

The hot tub could have been cleaner and seemed to need better filtration of dirt.

Gute Lage zum Arusha Airport, mitten in der Natur
Pros:

Wir haben diese Lodge gewählt, dass sie nur wenige Minuten vom Arusha Flughafen entfernt liegt. Auch bei der Ankunft mitten in der Nacht wurden wir freundlich behandelt. Das Haus, in dem wir untergebracht waren, war geräumig und hatte ein super bequemes Bett. Die Anlage selbst liegt sehr idyllisch. Morgens wecken einen die Meerkatzen, die lustig über die Blechdächer hüpfen und für Bewegung auf der Terrasse sorgen. Aber das ist nicht negativ gemeint.

Tropical paradise with great service
Pros:

Great rooms, really well maintained and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Very close to Arusha airport which is excellent. Staff brought us drinks and towels to the pool and offered a varied menu for meals, packed us a breakfast box as we had to leave early. Room amenities are excellent with good shower, lots of plug sockets and places to sit. Setting is very beautiful with tropical plants.

Cons:

Quote for a transfer to Kilimanjaro was very very expensive so we chose to use our own driver.

Dirty.
Pros:

The property was well decorated.

Cons:

The lady at the front desk tried to charge me 20% for making a reservation on booking.com, I ordered 37000tzsh of food but they charged me 45000tzsh. Breakfast wasn’t great, the only edible thing was the fruit.

The room was dirty, lots of dead bugs on the floor and on top of the mosquito net.
