Pleasant Dining Experience

I truly enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Cresta Maun. It offered a variety of delicious options, and the dining area was spacious and welcoming. I appreciated the effort that went into preparing the food, even if it got a bit warm inside. The moment I stepped in, I was ready to indulge in the hearty selections available. It set a positive tone for each day of my stay!

Comfortable Room for Relaxation

During my stay, I found the room to be quite spacious and comfortable. The suite we booked had a remarkably large bathroom, perfect for unwinding after a long day of activities. It was nice to have ample space to relax and enjoy our time there. The refurbishment of the standard room we experienced was also noticeable, showing attention to detail in providing a pleasant stay.

Refreshing Pool Area

The pool at Cresta Maun was a highlight of my stay! After a day of exploring, I loved being able to take a dip and relax by the water. The setting was inviting and provided a perfect escape from the heat. I made sure to spend time there every afternoon to refresh and recharge.

The experience at the hotel was a mix of enjoyable and a bit challenging. I loved the surroundings along the river, which made for a refreshing morning wake-up. However, the room design wasn’t great—open showers in the bedroom felt awkward. While the dining was excellent, it did come across as pricey compared to other local options.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location along the Thamalakane river was really beautiful, waking up to that refreshing breeze was a treat. However, the room's setup was a bit odd, and the cleanliness left something to be desired. Service was decent but features like dining could be improved.

While the location along the river was beautiful and offered a refreshing breeze, I was quite taken aback by the room's design, especially the open shower aspect. The dining experience was good but a bit pricier than I expected for the area. Overall, it was a decent value for the money, but the strange room setup left something to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The views by the Thamalakane River were absolutely stunning, and I loved waking up to that refreshing breeze. However, the rooms were quite hot, and the air conditioning took too long to kick in after check-in. The dining options were good, but I found them to be on the pricier side, especially compared to other spots in Maun. Overall, it’s a decent place for the views and riverfront experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a pretty mixed experience at the hotel. The location along the river was truly stunning and made my mornings feel refreshing. However, the room layout was a bit odd with open showers right next to the bed, which I didn't find very comfortable. While the service was decent, I did feel that dining options could have been better considering the price. Overall, it's a beautiful spot but the room design and dining experience need some improvement.
