Staying at Eseriani the Resort

I recently visited Naivasha and had the best stay. Hotels can often come across as big, boxy and cold buildings that whilst comfortable, seem drab and serve as a reminder that that is not home. That is not the case with Eseriani the Resort. Eseriani delivers exactly what they promise, affordable luxury. I am a huge advocate for travelling luxe on a budget and was very excited to stay at Eseriani.

Here is a visual tour of the place and what I got up to in Naivasha.

Getting There

Naivasha is about two hours away from Nairobi. Located in Karagita, Naivasha, Eseriani Resort is less than ten minutes away from the Moi South Lake Road junction and easily accessible using public or private means. It is conveniently located near Lake Naivasha as well as the popular attractions in Naivasha like Hell’s Gate National Park.

Eseriani The Resort

Immediately you enter the premises, there is a sense of calm, and you notice flower beds everywhere, which is apt, seeing as the hotel is surrounded by flower farms. Walking into the airy lobby, you are greeted with smiling faces and of course a sanitising station- safety first. The check-in process is rather quick, giving you a chance to admire the art dotting the walls.

Decor and Ambience

I love that the hotel does not take its design too seriously. The overall ambience is laid back, which makes guests want to relax and have a good time.

The Rooms

The resort has several rooms and much like the common areas, the rooms are spacious, airy and have cheeky art pieces. Eseriani’s modern aesthetic is carried into the rooms, they are sleek but warm and inviting. I stayed in a Superior double room and the massive bed was very comfortable.

My room had a beautiful view of the infinity pool, gardens and greenhouses in the distance.

Dining

By far my favourite part of any review is the food section. I am happy to report that Eseriani the Resort did not disappoint. The hotel has one restaurant, a bar and a lounge, both with an outside patio where guests can enjoy meals.

Ole Bar:

The head chef Kariuki prepares delectable dishes. The restaurant serves meals buffet style and most of the meals we had were familiar Kenyan favourites with an elevated twist.

Amenities

The gorgeous infinity pool is the star of the show at Eseriani. The well-manicured lawns and flower beds make the perfect backdrop. Unfortunately, I did not swim because of the grey weather but I am looking forward to hitting the pool the next time I visit.

Aside from the lobby, bar and restaurant, the hotel has lounge areas, a playground, a playroom for children and a games room.

The hotel also has several conference rooms, making it ideal for business travellers and company retreats.

Rates

Rates start from Kshs 6,000 for bed and breakfast, Kshs 7,500 on half board and Kshs 9,000 on full board.
