Always a Delight to stay at T Tree!
Tamarind...is ALWAYS topnotch. There was an issue this visit with my reservation, but the hotel addressed it appropriately with alternate accommodation...that was ok, but not up to the quality of TT. Upon my return the TV did not work in my room, which was disappointing.

Great stay
Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable, complemented by outstanding service throughout our visit. A special mention goes to Janes at the spa, whose fantastic treatments elevated our experience to another level of luxury and relaxation.

Fabulous property. I highly recommend the stay at this place. Quiet and clean. External tour companies were willing to pick us up from the hotel. I also recommend the breakfast buffet. It had many options.

$40 for an OK breakfast buffet is the most I have ever paid in Kenya. Deal-breaker for the future. No ala cart. $40 or nothing to eat.
