“Fantastic setting but poor restaurant service by the Food and Beverage Manager”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
Our dinner experience was extremely unfortunate. Not all menus items were available, we waited 90minutes for our food and not all wines were available. The lady supervisor tried her best to help. The Food and Beverage Manager was not helpfull at all, did not come back with progress reports and even took his own food from the buffet before his guest's dilema was solved.

The only negative thing was the pasta dish I ordered the first night tasted like the milk in the sauce was going bad. Everything else I ate at the restaurant was good.
The staff were very helpful. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast buffet was delicious.

Was there on Xmas day, hence it was busy. The service was poor all round, the staff didn't look nor behave the part it's as though most of them had no clue..the one or two supervisors I spotted didn't seem up to speed either... either you need to train it staff or your recruiting the wrong people..
Room was well equipped the views amazing & most importantly the hotel in general was clean..

Hot water took longer to start. We felt bad for letting the water run a bit too long.
Ku Chawe's breakfast offers a variety of choices. We've stayed in other Sunbird hotels before but Ku Chawe ia exceptional in terms of quality - local products used with unique flavors. Very helpful and approachable staff! Fantastic views! Worth the money we paid for!
