The place has lovely ambience, especially if you ate a long stayer. Thebstagg are courteous and the food is just amazingly innovative and tasty. Housekeeping obliged my request to not be disturbed while ensuring my supply of perishables. While the gym is small, it is adequate if you knoq what you are doing. It could do worj bettwr cleaning though as the mats are often dirty and equipment not wiped down. Will certainly continue staying with them and highly recommend.

Cresta Lodge presents a mix of thoughtful service and notable shortcomings. Arrival was efficient and welcoming, with the bellhop well-prepared and aware of my check-in. However, my assigned suite room was poorly thought out: the living area had no lighting whatsoever, making evening work impossible. Although the reception responded promptly with lamps, the solution exposed further oversight – there was no power socket to plug in the lamp. This necessitated a room change. The second room was better equipped, and I appreciate Olivia for ensuring it met my needs. WiFi quality was good but inconsistent across the room, something remote workers should verify before settling in. Dinner service at the main restaurant was disappointing. After being seated, I waited over 20 minutes without any attention while other tables were repeatedly served. I eventually left and had a far better experience at the coffee shop, where staff were attentive, professional, and welcoming. The room itself felt stuffy and insufficiently deep-cleaned, evidenced by a slipper left under the bed from a previous guest. On my final night, housekeeping staff entered my room while I was still sleeping, despite the door being locked, and left upon realizing it was occupied. During my stay, the Twenty20 Cricket Competition was underway, with two teams lodged at Cresta. Heavy room service usage resulted in food trays and plates frequently left in corridors, creating unpleasant odors. Overall: average.

My stay was relaxing! The pool area was very nice. I enjoyed the food options at the Chatteres and Cool Beans cafe. Thank you Darlington, Shakespeare, Agile ,Simba and Tawanda for your wonderful service. My room was very clean thanks to Jane. The front desk staff was lovely. Thank you Takudzwa for working your magic to extend my reservation. Thanks to Rubi ,Melody and all. I am grateful to the young lady who arranged my haircut. I look forward to staying again when I return to Harare.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. Very warmly welcomed by both Grace & Gamuchirai who are delightful. I really enjoyed the restaurant area and the ability to have my breakfast outside beside the bubbling brook was just fantastic. The food was exceptional and I particularly liked the banana yoghurt which I don't see very often in the UK. My room was nice-quite basic that it had all the amenities that I could ask for. Importantly, it was secure and I felt safe. I was in room 137 and note that the lock from the inside was not working so that needs repairing. Lovely shower and very nice shampoos etc The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is pretty good I would stay here again if I was staying for a short visit but might look for something more rustic such as a large if I was there for longer just so I could experience the African vibe. The shuttle service was excellent Thanks everyone

Rooms look a little tired but ok. Garden was not well looked after. (cut trees not completely removed, uncut lawn) I had a beer at the poolbar around 12:45. Tables were not cleaned. I had lunch at 13:50 at the restaurant. Outside tables were occupied by staff having lunch. Weird. IMHO Cresta Lodge just meets minimum standards. Not better, not worse.
