8/10 Good
"Pros: 1. Staff helpful and kind 2. Hotel accommodating with late check-in and out due to flight delays 3. All meals were delicious 4.Enjoyed the balcony suite with pyramid views Cons: 1.Some items on menu were not available 2. The tub is a beautiful addition to have in the suite, but the water only gets lukewarm, not hot at all like the shower in the bathroom. After an all day safari, I wanted to soak my muscles, but could not take a bath as the water would be cold, by the time it would be filled."

Complimentary in-room coffee, tea, and water are also appreciated. The masjid on the property is great to have; I love the visibility - easy to find as you drive into the front gate - and appearance of the masjid. Please make sure qiblah direction is clearly marked in every room. Also, the shower area in some of your rooms is quite slippery; please do something about that for the safety of your guests.
