I had an amazing stay at the resort, which provided unimaginable luxury and great service. The surroundings were tranquil, with beautiful gardens and a stream adding to the charm. The food was delicious, especially the local dishes. However, some of the rooms in the older section could use a little updating. Overall, the experience was worth every penny, and I can't wait to return.

I stayed at the resort for a business trip and found it to be a lovely escape after a long drive. It offers a clean and peaceful atmosphere, with welcoming staff that really made a difference. The rooms are spacious and feel very much like a home away from home. My only complaint would be the slow service at dinner, which could be improved. Overall, I found the hotel to be a great value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the grounds were beautiful and the staff genuinely friendly, the room situation was confusing and disappointing. The dining options didn't meet my expectations, and the noisy pool area created some challenges. Ultimately, the hotel had its charm, but it felt a bit misleading in terms of its offerings.

Rooms

The rooms were a mixed bag. The first room I received was small and outdated, definitely not what I expected from a 5-star hotel. After moving to the other side, the new room was more comfortable but still not at the level I anticipated.

I recently stayed at Mbale Resort Hotel, which has some nice renovations and a pleasant atmosphere. While the staff is generally friendly, the room situation can be quite misleading. I had a great experience with the breakfast buffet, but the service could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent spot in Mbale, but it does not fully live up to its 5-star claim.

My stay at this resort was quite pleasant, with great mountain views and a lovely atmosphere enriched by nature. The service was generally top-notch, but there were some inconsistencies in the dining experience and room quality. While the hot water was impressive, the older room I initially stayed in left much to be desired. Overall, it's a good place to unwind in a natural setting, but a few updates would enhance the experience.
