I had a wonderful stay at the resort, enjoying its beautiful design and relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace. The spa services were exceptional, and the dining experience was mostly pleasant, although the dining room felt a bit dark. The location near Lake Tana was great, but I’d recommend earplugs for the early morning church sounds. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with some minor drawbacks.

I had a decent stay at Kuriftu Resort & Spa Bahir Dar. The location was a huge highlight, right by Lake Tana, which was perfect for scenic walks. The rooms were spacious but felt a bit outdated and dingy, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired. On the plus side, I really enjoyed the complimentary massage and the friendly staff made me feel welcome.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, enjoying breathtaking views over the Nile from my chalet. The room was comfortable and had effective air conditioning. However, noise from a nearby club and early morning temple chants were quite disruptive, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The dining options were satisfying with a decent restaurant service, though the bar could be quicker. Breakfast by the pool was particularly enjoyable.
