The Serena is a part of group of luxury hotels in Africa and the Middle East, catering largely to upscale business travel and vacation. The resort here was superbly furnished, both in the rooms and the lobby/outside property. Every room has a full A/C and a great patio, along with some pretty comfy beds. Some tips: -Check out the Maisha... More

Great atmosphere, excellent food, spacy and comfortable room. Stayed there for a 2-day workshop. Make sure you get a cab because it's a long walk to Entebbe Road. Very helpful staff, what else shall I say to reacht the 200 characters TripAdvisor is asking ? Think this is the first and the last time I'm typing a review.

Beautiful view and rooms. I stayed here while completing a construction contract in Uganda for 13 months. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cater to your every need. I brought my wife and son here to visit for a few weeks and they were treated like royalty. As the golf course and other amenities... More

This resort was the perfect beginning to a great r&r in Uganda. Coming from work in rural South Sudan I always look for a relaxing place to begin my breaks. Serena was exactly what I was looking for. It sits just beside Lake Victoria offering a very nice view from the lounge area. The pool is huge and relaxing and... More

Unfortunately I was in on a very quick trip, so I didn't get to enjoy the full treatment of Lake Serena, but what I got was stellar. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I can't believe I've forgotten the driver's name (Frank or Fred), but he was absolutely wonderful. The room was lovely, the gym was great, and the... More

In december my wife and myself stayed for one night on our way out of kampala. Plse note that this hotel is some 30min from entebbe airport (actually half way between entebbe and kampala). The road is not that great but once you arrive at the compound, you will see the difference. Great and warmth reception, ice cold drink and... More

The rooms are very nicely designed and have the proper necessities. TV, internet. The staff around in the hotel are very friendly which is rather unusual in most hotels around here. The Spa is much better quality than the Serena in town and less crowded. There is effectively only one restaurant which serves a relatively good buffet though it does... More

It's has beautiful sorrounding, they got a good massage parlour but need well trained staff. The staff at the parlour are good but need to improve. The restaurant is excellent what needs to be improved is their menu. It's simple and boring especially if you are i for a long period, try and have at least the menu changed daily.... More

This new luxury hotel on the banks of Lake Victoria has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Of course it is not cheap - it's a Serena - but, as we all know, high prices do not necessarily always mean good service and first-class facilities. But at Lake Victoria Serena it was difficult to...
