Sunbird Nkopola

Sunbird Nkopola

📍 Nkopola Dr, Mangochi
★★★★ 7.0 (13 reviews)

"Had a nice time at the Sunbird Nkopola as a presenter at a conference sponsored by Old Mutual Malawi. The Lake Malawi provides a good serenity environment and the staff was very polite and keen to assist in any way. Had a nice run in between. The road from Lilongwe is pretty bad but the driver managed it well"

Sunbird Ku Chawe

Sunbird Ku Chawe

📍 Box 71. Zomba. 265, Zomba
★★★ 8.4 (8 reviews)

"Everything was amazing as far as the room, the view the ambience. The reason for the four instead of a five out of five is because our dinner last night as far as the food was not up to standard. We had a ribeye steak that seriously was 50% fat and vegetables were almost raw. Very disappointed. But the breakfast was amazing and don’t forget to try that plain yogurt."

Manja Lodge

Manja Lodge

📍 J898+8QX, Macleod Road, Zomba
★★★ 8.8 (7 reviews)

"We had lunch here twice in July. Food is cooked to order so be prepared to wait a bit but it was more efficient than several other Zomba restaurants we tried. Had excellent large steaks on husband's birthday."

Sunbird Nkopola

Sunbird Nkopola

📍 14 Chilembwe Road, Club Makokola, Nkopola
★★ 7.4 (1 reviews)

"For Africa this is a good hotel, but if you evaluate it by European standards, then it is 3 stars, even with a minus. The hotel is undergoing reconstruction. The rooms are not very clean, the furniture is old, the bathroom has problems, the pool is small. But the most important thing is that there is hot water and electricity. Also there was a delicious breakfast."

Waters Edge By Serendib ★★★★
"I had a very warm welcome right from the gate up to the reception. The Staff are friendly, ready to assist and engaging. One of the Manager's at the reception said " welcome back" to which I felt good because I was recognized as one of the guests who had visited the Hotel before. Let me also recognize the waiter who served me in the restaurant, when I ordered meals delivery time exceeded my expectation."

Sunbird Ku Chawe ★★★
"First of all we called ahead to check if the heated pool was still heated and we were told that yes it was. Pool was not heated. As a guest you are charged extra to Sauna. Food took forever and was very disappointing each time. Not family friendly"
