Above information is how the hotel presents itself on their website.
Below is my experience based on a three-night stay at the property.
My arrival experience: Warm welcome from the General Manager, Vincenzo Presti before I was escorted to the room.
What I loved: The location and the world-class facilities.
What about the food: They have hired an Italian chef, and the food is acceptable for a remote place in Africa. However, the main issue is the lack of fresh produce. Canned mushrooms are better avoided than eaten. When the hotel gets more business, I am sure the food will improve as they can import more high-quality food.
What about the service: Much better than you would expect in Equatorial Guinea. It is not like staying in a hotel a leading hotel in London or New York, but the service is good, which mainly is possible because of experienced foreign staff in the key positions.
What about the rooms: Comfortable bed, rain shower, bathtub, working desk and flat screen Tv.
Number of rooms: 452.
Website: www.grandhoteldjibloho.com
Type of property: Right now a jungle hotel, but a city hotel when the new capital is build.
Location: Djibloho, Equatorial Guinea.
Facilities: Spa, gym indoor and outdoor swimming pool, and business/meeting facilities.
Complimentary internet: Yes, but a speed test showed the complimentary internet was 0.01 Mbps, which you can only use for things like What's App or a basic text-based e-mail. They charge for internet to watch videos or do calls.
Affiliations: None, but it would be a perfect fit for The Leading Hotels of the World.
My overall impression: Great+ experience.
