"Nice hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5

I stayed here for a few day. It’s very nice. And you can see a lot of animals. It’s pretty expensive. But the lobby is pretty awesome and the people are very nice. The rooms are standard and the walls are thin.

"Long walk but worth it"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed December 17, 2025 NEW
The lobby is lovely! For an animal enthusiast this resort is perfect for you! Your room has a view of animals and they are fairly active. Now, the downside to this massive resort is the rooms' layout. If you are unlucky with a room towards the end of the hall, you could easily walk 10 minutes. Luckily on the way is view of animals 😃

"Amazing and worth every penny."
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed December 05, 2025 NEW
Bucket List Destination Checked Off the List! Worth every penny and time!!! The rooms were decent and very clean. The balcony overlooking the Sahara is amazing. I loved sitting and watching the animals eating just feet from our room. The pool is spacious, clean and warm. The hot tubs weren't clean which was a little disappointing but you are surrounded by nature so it's forgivable.

"An ok hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed November 25, 2025
My honest review of this hotel. It’s very nice but I notice the carpet in the halls leading to the rooms are dirty and disgusting. We stayed in the jambo house. Our room was nice but one of the bed lights was hanging and not working. We have a balcony room facing the pool. You can hear everything outside. They start cleaning the pool at 6am and I can hear the machines as if the door is open. Now talking about location. It’s not convenient to any parks. Although it says animal kingdom in the name it’s about a 10-15 min bus ride to the park. I’m used to staying at a hotel where we can just walk to the parks. Everywhere was decorated for Christmas except this hotel. Which is disappointing I thought it would be at least animal theme decor. So I would say nice to stay once and experience it but I wouldn’t stay again.
