Buterere Hotels with Gym

The staff are lovely--really kind, fun, accommodating and experience-oriented. They were a highlight. The overall resort is quite picturesque, and I enjoyed dining poolside each evening. The pizza at the restaurant is outstanding, absolutely delicious and rivals even the best of Italy. The downside? The rooms are inconsistent--I stayed in two different ones at different times. They tend to be darkish, and mildew-smelling, and there is visible mildew and maybe black mold (?) near the AC and in the shower area of some bathrooms. The beds feel a bit dated and hard. However, they are otherwise clean--spotlessly mopped, clean toilets, sinks, etc. So, a bit of a mixed bag. Places like this are expensive in developing countries in Africa, so, don't expect what you might get in, say, Europe or east Asia or South America for these prices. I still recommend this place because of the excellent, caring staff and the fun and tasty restaurant.
