Fodor's Expert Review Lake Kivu Serena Hotel

Ave de la Cooperation, Gisenyi, Western Province, Rwanda Fodor's Choice

The bird-filled beachfront gardens and suites of this "tropically inspired" four-star hotel have arguably the best views of Lake Kivu. The Serena Hotels' trademark lavish breakfast and high levels of service make this a marvelous place to simply chill. Active guests may want to make use of the gym, floodlit lawn tennis court, mountain bikes, or nearby mini 8-hole golf course.

PROS

  • spotless swimming pool overlooks private beach
  • Rubavu's only beach hotel
  • complimentary weekend entertainment

CONS

  • a slight detour from customary tourist route
  • occasional music from nearby bars
  • golf course is outside hotel grounds
