Beautiful and classy but please please change or update your pillows. Someone booking a good room means they want a good rest. It’s terrible when you can’t sleep because you can feel the age lumps in your pillows. Everything else was great!

We loved it. But the pool area closes too early. And mosquitos kept on attacking me😀 Such a wonderful hotel should have a Michelin restaurant. To do so the Pearl restaurant should change the menu. When i heard the name - the Pearl restaurant i thought that they where serving lokal dishes from different plages in Uganda. This is a tip. Uganda has so much to offer. You could turn ugandas different lokal dishes in a unique and exclusive way. In the Wine champagne bar- cocktails should be with lokal ingredients and garnishing. Make seasonal cocktails. You could have gin & tonic Uganda waragi with tonic water. With Uganda waragi - you can make cocktails with different flavours like pineapple cocktail, mango cocktail, Uganda has rim and sweet wine - use it in cocktails.
