Last April I stayed in Speke Resort for a meeting, I stayed there from April 7-12, 2013. But we need to go on a field trip in Uganda. Since the place is quite far, we need to stay there for 2 nights. However, I will need to go back and stay another night in Speke Resort the day before I... More

One of the better places I have stayed in sub-Saharan Africa, lovely gardens and glimpses of Lake Victoria (a short walk takes to the lakefront). The place has a nice feel, the rooms are clean and breakfast on the terrace is a nice way to start the day. huge pool for relaxing and a choice of places to eat. Downsides:... More

As previously stated......this place is a paradox. Beautiful grounds, nice rooms, good feeling to it, but after a day or so you see the holes that are so typical of most hotels in Uganda The attitude here was we will build it glitzy and shiny so they will come and pay through the nose, nothing wrong with that, if you...

We visited last night to eat and to look around with a view to staying here next year. We have stayed twice before in 2005 and 2007 and have such happy memories. We'll leave it to the memories. The resort has expanded massively. What were beautiful grounds is now a mega hotel building and once inside you could be anywhere... More

On a recent trip to Uganda to visit friends, we visited this resort for drinks and dinner only. We did not stay at the hotel overnight and I have no opinion of anything other than the restaurant. But I do have an opinion of it, and it isn't good. When we arrived, we were seated for drinks. Service was slow,... More

The resort is jaw droppingly beautiful when you first drive in. Lush, well manicured lawns and well appointed structures and rooms. The food is actually quite tasty. That's where it ends. Guest Toilets in the conference area have visible access to staff lockers and I found a member of staff fast asleep on a bench in the ladies room at... More

This hotel sits on the bank of the beautiful Lake Victoria. Having travelled to Africa the past 5 years, I think this is one of the best, if not the best, hotel facility at least in East/Central Africa. Clean, inviting lobby; gorgeous tropical back yard with many tropical birds...overlooking the lake; clean, modern-interior rooms with a touch of earth-friendly decor;... More

Interesting place, starting with the giant wood carving of Musveni towering over the lobby. The resort is massive and as a result has a tendency to feel rather empty and lifeless. The fact that the staff seem to outnumber the guests does not help either, given that they spend most of their time idle. The reception staff did not seem... More
