Hai hotel rooms a the Independent

"Overall, a nice stay. Beautiful views of Kilimanjaro from rooms. They made an effort to ensure our honeymoon was celebrated. Beds were very uncomfortable though (much too hard). This has been referenced by others. Dinner and breakfast was OK - choice and quality was limited due to everything being taken from the farm. We were shown around the farm and my wife was quite distressed to see the condition of some of the livestock. We mentioned to staff member showing us around and she was quite dismissive saying she was sure someone would have a look at it, but we were not convinced."

"I really enjoyed spending time at this hotel. The staff are very welcoming and wonderful people to be around. The staff made sure that I had a shuttle to go around town and a safe way to get there, had a secure place to store the remaining luggage, and they made delicious food for breakfast and at the restaurant. I would highly recommend to stay at the Stella Maris Lodge."
