My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spread out over the area, and I was lucky enough to get one of the suites, which was really nice. However, there was a noticeable damp smell in the room. The service was top-notch, with all staff members being extremely friendly and willing to help at a moment's notice. The location, though a little far from Victoria Falls, offered great facilities and infrastructure for the price.
