The room is suitable for an over night stay. The shuttle service makes for ease for travelers. The restaurant is adequate. Front desk personnel seem stressed and the drivers lack any form of service or regard for guests.

The WiFi did not reach my room it was 261 so the tv couldn’t not connect . And there was no hot or warm water for the shower . They charged 144$ for one person for a safari over priced for a 2 hours tour . Last the shuttle only comes every hour to air port . I messaged them thru Expedia 4 times and they didn’t msg back . It was late till 920pm just wasted time .
