2 FRIENDS BEACH HOTEL

Super freundliches Team

Rent och fint hotell, stora rum. Flera av dem regnar det dock in i vid kraftig nederbörd. Okey frukost, grymt god club sandwich och middag helt okey. Drinkar kan dom inte blanda. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Känns som ett osäkert område för oss svenskar, det sitter två beväpnade vakter dygnet runt utanför hotellet som är omringat av "spjut" och taggtråd. Vi kan inte röra oss ute efter mörkrets infall.

Great place located in Entebbe

Getting decent accommodation in Entebbe for long term use is not easy and can be quiet expensive. This is partly because of the large UN personnel living and working in the town.

Fantastic laid back relaxing hotel. The staff are all fabulous. We stayed 3 nights to relax and recharge after a hectic 10 days in Kampala and up country on Safari. Highly recommended.

It's a home away. Keep up the good service
