Oeganda: Avontuurlijke vakanties

We stayed at the Protea hotel in Entebbe for 2 nights to be close to the airport. The hotel property is nice, located on lake Victoria with view of the water, a waterside park with benches, play area for children and pool. The rooms are spacious compared to rooms we’ve stayed in while in Europe. The bathroom is small and doesn’t reflect a 4star hotel bathroom. The caulking is poorly done and coming apart, the style is extremely outdated with fluorescent lights taking away any warmth from the room. The shower water will take 3-4 minutes to heat up but once heated can get very hot. The hotel has a restaurant within called Tides which was average, with slightly higher prices than I’ve seen throughout the country. First night I had the Nile perch and husband had the steak which were both good and decent portions. The following day we had the breakfast buffet which had tons of fruit, cereal and bread with option to have eggs/omelette ordered. For lunch we had the snack bites with nachos and spring rolls by the pool side with a really delicious smoothie. That night we opted for grilled tilapia and burger for dinner however shortly after we were violently ill less 10 hours before our long flight back home to the US. We had food poisoning from one of the meals that day (all at Tides restaurant). They do offer a 24hr shuttle service that was very punctual and arrived prior to the scheduled 2:30am departure. Convenient place to stay if you are leaving for the airport at odd times.

Nice location. Unfortunately The hotel transfer from the airport didn’t show up but one phonecall gave easy instructions for a taxi that was refunded. Great breakfast.
