The pro's. The hotel is nicely situated overlooking Lake Victoria. The rooms and balcony are spacious and well thought out with outlets and lights in the right places. It seems as if most of the rooms have excellent views of the lake. The staff were generally helpful and accommodating.||||The con's. Overall, the place looks a little tired. A fresh coat of paint would do wonders for the rooms and restaurant. The staff while polite were poor at returning communications. They did not answer the phone or return emails promptly.

Unfortunately, when i visited they had no alcohol policy so have this in mind that your favorite Tusker will be missing, whether chilled or room...
Read moreFirst of all, the view is the best in Dunga. Then comes the breakfast which is complementary and enormous enough for me to have skipped lunch. Staff are well behaved.
The con was that there was a lot of lizard shit by morning in the terrace and some parts of the room. The staff cleans up everyday so this is also a manageable problem.
I booked Dunga beach resort from booking.com and got booked to Milimani beach resort without my knowing it. I had ticked pvt pool and pick up from the airport. There is no pvt pool here. Pick up and drop was not arranged maybe because staff didn't check.
