Relaxing Massages

“I booked 10 massages with Hassan, which turned out to be the best decision ever. Upon my arrival, I had a 'frozen shoulder' condition, and without saying anything, Hassan sensed my issue right away. His professionalism truly amazed me as he improved my mobility significantly within just 10 sessions. I highly recommend his treatments, as well as the standard massages and scrubs offered at the spa.” view full review

Exquisite Dining Experience

“The dining experience at Lily Palm Resort was a highlight of my stay! The breakfast buffet was excellent with a plethora of options, and the themed evening buffets, particularly the African selection held once a week, was good. The Mapango restaurant, with its Italian flair, served mouth-watering pizzas and fresh salads that were simply irresistible!” view full review

Comfortable Room Stay

“I stayed in the Mapango Beautiful room, which was spacious and comfortable. It featured a nice shower room and ample power sockets, including USB ports. The wooden door with a cool lock added a vintage charm, and everything was well-maintained and clean. Having a terrace with furniture was a lovely touch for enjoying the beautiful surroundings.” view full review

Inviting Bathroom Oasis

“The bathrooms in the hotel were light and inviting, contributing to a refreshing atmosphere overall. Each bathroom felt well-designed and well-maintained, enhancing my overall comfort during the stay. It was a great relief to have a clean and tidy bathroom space to return to after a long day enjoying the beautiful facilities.” view full review
