First of all, it’s Zambia so my expectations were somewhat low but it was a Marriot and at Marriot prices. The hotel had back up generators for frequent brown outs so that’s a plus but it did lack qualified electrical support-electronic locks didn’t work properly, bathroom light wouldn’t shut off.

The resort and spa property is the highlight. Beautifully manicured grounds. Lots of room to walk about. Gorgeous pool area with thatch-covered bar area. Elements is a very good restaurant. There's also The Brewery next to the convention centre -- a great place for good food and to sample a few craft beers. The golf course also has a restaurant and the course itself is a 10 minute walk from the hotel rooms. The course is in great shape and fairly priced. My caddy, Pearson, knew the game well and was a big help. The gym is first class and full of all the necessary gear with all machines well maintained and in full working order. Staff are excellent! My room was spacious and well appointed. On the downside, there were plenty of mozzies about, so some courtesy mosquito repellent should be in every room. The air conditioning rarely worked, which made sleep a bit difficult. This was compounded by periodic power outages, often at very inconvenient times. But overall -- highly recommended.
Clean room and very friendly staff. There were frequent power interruptions before the hotel generator kicked in, but that is a Zambian national problem and not due to the hotel.
Wonderful Golf and a very very good spa. The exchange rate to USD so good you will be amazed. 1hr Massage, sauna and a wonderful filet with salad etc on your first day after 28hr travel from US makes this the perfect place 68 USD todays rate. Go see the safari animals and enjoy the brewery and barnyard pubs also on property.
Nice grounds and premises, however, had a horrible check in experience. Were placed in a room opposite the house keeping services which woke us up late at night and also 7am in the morning with cackling staff who did not respect guests.. they subsequently moved us to another room and the shower leaked into the corridor and got clothes and shoes wet. Needs some attention...
