The buffets had many choices to accommodate any picky eater, as well as the adventurous ones, like myself.
Service was good all around - everybody was polite and helpful.
The pool was wonderful, although there were no pool towels readily available. Perhaps we missed them...?
The elevator got stuck one morning, with only me in it, between floors. That was a bit harrowing, although short lived. When I mentioned it to a staff member, her reply was " it is ok because there is an engineer available if it happens again."" See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

The swimming pool was fabulous, as was the included morning breakfast buffet.
A bit more drinking water provided in the room would be welcome." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya
"Welcome to Nairobi!"
The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. The pool was lovely.
The only issue we had was when we decided to order off of the menu for dinner one evening rather than the buffet. It took more than 1 hour to receive our food and unfortunately when we did, one of the orders was not made as requested. The staff insisted that it be sent back, and when a new dish was replaced, it still did not fit the request (although at that point our traveling companion was really hungry and had absolutely no interest in sending it back). It is possible that the particular server was having a particularly tough evening.
Regardless, the buffet food is all diverse and delicious, so if (when) I return, I will only eat off the buffet, and then the experience will be perfect." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya
