Fodor's Expert Review The Delight

Theo Ben Gurirab Ave. and Nathanael Maxuilie Str., Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia Fodor's Choice

As its name suggests, The Delight ticks all the boxes for a wonderful stay: modern decor, the best buffet breakfast in town, cheerful rooms, a funky bar, and a welcoming lounge. The interior is accentuated by bright bursts of color and photo-worthy elements, such as the lobby chandelier made of recycled plastic and upcycled driftwood, a large blue mural depicting the Namib Desert, and a giant map of Africa. The large seascape photo murals in the guest rooms provide a seaside feel and each room has a balcony or a patio (some of which look out onto the central courtyard). This is where you will find the best buffet breakfast in all of Swakopmund—it's so popular, in fact, that even guests need to make reservations---with freshly-prepared omelets, waffles, and desserts, local oysters, sparkling wine, and cold and hot breakfast options.
