    • Gee ★★★★ Fun fact, last time I was here was over 30 years ago with my dad (who's dead now) so was kind of nostalgic going back. It's been taken over by the landmark group and they gradually bringing it back to life. I loved it purely from the nostalgic angle and you can see what it is going to be when it's all done up. They aren't quite there yet though. The rooms are good, was able to watch the champions league in room and got the match i wanted which isn't always a given in most hotels i stay in. The restaurant was same as it was 30 years ago but the service wasn't fantastic. Food was passable, still a lot of work to be done. Front office staff were fantastic and it was a pleasant experience. You can already see where is headed and I'll definitely go back in a few months. The view over the lake is awesome
    • ozioma J. ★★★★★ Lodged in one of the deluxe rooms and it was breathtaking experience, the services was also topnotch with well mannered and polite workers. We later went for a boat ride around the lake and it was yet another awesome experience, while on the boat ride we came across a Croc that was resting on a root of a tree and was receiving some sunshine and we took pictures of it. The location was also another thing, it was located outskirt of the town, I loved my time there and already planing for a revisit with my fiancée.

    • Oluwakemi B. ★★★★ Terrible experience. Unprofessional staff especially the attached person photographs, Emmanuel Ejah who unfortunately is the manager. Threatening and harassing customers and really unruly after moving tickets from 9am to 12noon because of overbooking, yet he couldn’t empathize with passengers that have flights. Doubt i will use Sea Express ferry again. Emmanuel should be trained and retrained on customer relationship management.
    • Reginald B. ★★★★★ Very poorly run service that requires a simple upgrade in professional handling. From a rusty and dirty environment to unmotivated staff, there is not a touch of excellence in the setup. The walkway into the ferry is a poorly welded aluminium contraption that feels highly unsafe. The jetty itself is surrounded so much dirt and abandoned metal objects feeling like an abandoned project. It feels like no one in government really cares that this service exist except for the passengers who have no choice. Thankfully, life vests are provided for all passengers. Imagine a tourist who comes here for the first time. This is a very poor showing of what we can do.
