""Great resort with beautiful views of Lake Malawi. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-sized. We enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool, which is clean and refreshing. The only minor downside was that service at the restaurant can be a bit slow, but the experience was fantastic."

"Great hotel , environment is welcoming. Food buffet not as good but you get the best on alcarte. Clean beaches with safety prioritized by the hotel. Some part is under construction so need some caution when driving around"

Sunbird Livingstonia Beach ★★
"So I was excited about this trip. The check in was smooth and seamless and we enjoyed ourselves. However at dinner we were overcharged (our 2 kids were charged for dinner at the price of adults). When they realised their mistake they said the only way to rectify it was to offer free lunch the next day for the kids as they could not refund us the amount. Apparently it’s irreversible. We were forced to carry take away lunch even though we didn’t intend to have lunch at the hotel  At checkout they wanted us to pay for accommodation again even though we had prepaid through trip.com. Apparently they only recognise payment through *******. Even though I presented confirmation email and voucher they still insisted that I might pay. After a long wait and verification they confirmed that we had indeed paid. This was after I had sent email with proof of payment. Pretty disappointed with the service. I have always loved sunbird"

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★
"10/10. This is exactly what I look for in a nature lodge. Not 5 star but imperfectly perfect. The grounds are lush, there’s steps meandering down to the lake, the pool is surrounded by greenery and there are rooms for just about everybody. I was in Chalet 6 on a series of boulders on a cliff above the lake. A dozen baboons played in the tree in front of my deck all morning. Then they would commute across my deck to a tree behind my hut. You could not leave your room door open unattended, even for a minute! There was electricity, but only a lone ceiling fan in the loft bedroom up a steep set of stairs. And it was hot. The bathroom was rustic, outside with no door and I used it often to cool down in the shower when I was too lazy to walk to the pool. They offered to move me to a hotel room with air conditioning, wi fi and a TV, but no lake view, and I passed. The staff was universally friendly and the food great, especially the Chambo fish from the lake. They really could use more than one tiny ice cube tray though."
