Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had an excellent stay at Ilala Crest Lodge. Staff were incredibly friendly. I had a large well appointed room/ flat with sitting area and separate bedroom. Food in the restaurant was first class some of the best I have ever had in Africa. There is also a pleasant pool and bar area. The room rates are excellent compared to local competitors. Would highly recommend!!
