Delicious Buffet Options

The buffet meals were plentiful and provided a good variety of options for all tastes. Each meal offered something new, with the highlight being the local dishes that truly showcased the flavors of the region. I especially enjoyed the nightly entertainment from a talented singer during dinner!

Very Spacious Accommodations

The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious and modern, providing all the comforts I needed for a relaxing stay. The attention to detail made it feel luxurious, and having a great view of the Chobe River was a wonderful perk. I loved the mosquito nets over the bed, adding an extra layer of comfort.

My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience with stunning views and a variety of activities to enjoy. The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable, but I faced some minor issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. While the staff was generally polite and attentive, there were a few lapses in service quality that detracted from the experience. Dining options had potential but could use some improvement, especially regarding the quality and consistency of the food served.

Cresta Mowana has a picturesque setting along the Chobe River, making it a lovely spot to unwind, yet I found the room to be quite average and in need of some updates. The service had its moments, with some staff being more responsive, though it didn't quite match the warm hospitality we've encountered elsewhere in Botswana. Overall, the dining options were just okay, and while the amenities like the spa were welcoming, there were aspects that could improve the stay.
