It was ok

6.0

It’s not far from the airport. Access to other pools and spaces for kids

Infants pay for the stay but restaurant food doesn’t cater for kids. The restaurant staff were not approachable and service was so slow.

Great lodge, good food, staff, access to rest of zimbali via shuttle is a bonus for winter getaway

8.0

Room was good -704 has great views and is not refurbished which i prefer as it has the old style furniture which looks opulent. Facilities and food and staff are excellent - 10/10.

We also stayed on the refurbished 1 bed, the trees are too high so there is no view, the ceiling has a water stain but otherwise its spacious and nice. Seems like a basic refurb than high end and is not in keeping with the original zimbali.
