6/10 Good

We stayed at the Protea hotel in Entebbe for 2 nights to be close to the airport. The hotel property is nice, located on lake Victoria with view of the water, a waterside park with benches, play area for children and pool. The rooms are spacious compared to rooms we’ve stayed in while in Europe. The bathroom is small and doesn’t reflect a 4star hotel bathroom. The caulking is poorly done and coming apart, the style is extremely outdated with fluorescent lights taking away any warmth from the room. The shower water will take 3-4 minutes to heat up but once heated can get very hot. The hotel has a restaurant within called Tides which was average, with slightly higher prices than I’ve seen throughout the country. First night I had the Nile perch and husband had the steak which were both good and decent portions. The following day we had the breakfast buffet which had tons of fruit, cereal and bread with option to have eggs/omelette ordered. For lunch we had the snack bites with nachos and spring rolls by the pool side with a really delicious smoothie. That night we opted for grilled tilapia and burger for dinner however shortly after we were violently ill less 10 hours before our long flight back home to the US. We had food poisoning from one of the meals that day (all at Tides restaurant). They do offer a 24hr shuttle service that was very punctual and arrived prior to the scheduled 2:30am departure. Convenient place to stay if you are leaving for the airport at odd times.

Wonderfully Relaxing

We had a very nice stay. The room and everywhere we went in the hotel was very clean. The staff were very kind, helpful, and professional. The outdoor dining was so relaxing, and the view of Lake Victoria was just amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel was wonderful to experience after 20 hours of flying, The pool area situated on the shores of Lake Victoria was beautiful. The food and beverage service outside was prompt and amazingly delicious. The breakfast buffet was over the top amazing. Fresh and so many choices. I always enjoy my Marriott stays but this hotel went over and above to provide personal happy service.

This hotel was unable to work with my schedule adjustments, to be fair I had 2 of them, and they helped me with one. It was difficult for them Im sure, but because of that, I cancelled the entire trip. I did not stay with them, but I sure paid like I did.
