My stay at the resort was simply incredible! From the breathtaking views of Lake Bunyonyi to the outstanding service provided by Robert and his team, this place is a hidden gem. The food was delicious, and the serene atmosphere allowed for complete relaxation. However, the internet connection can be a bit spotty in the rooms, and the road leading to the resort can be challenging after rain. Overall, it's a perfect getaway for anyone looking to unwind in nature.
