My stay at Kuriftu Resort and Spa was a good escape. surrounded by nature and on the shore of Lake Tana. The huge rooms and friendly staff truly made me feel at home. However, the dining experience was lackluster, with the restaurant serving disappointing meals that did not match the rest of the resort's quality.

The room was incredibly spacious, nearly extravagant. I loved being in the bottom half of a tukal. The upper story might offer even better views, but I found the comfort level perfect for my needs.

My stay at Kuriftu Resort and Spa was a mixed bag. While the location by the lake was stunning and the gardens pleasant, some aspects of the accommodation felt worn out. The service could also improve, as I faced challenges with my initial reservation. Overall, I had a decent stay, but there's room for enhancement.
