    We got chance to have dinner there. It is stunning place specially the view from lake side.. amazing!!! What a natural beauty Uganda has♥️♥️. Sitting arrangement was pretty trendy. It was crowded. Food was bit expensive and had gotten small portions as compare to the charges. But no doubt delicious 😋 . Half of the food was Indian. Boating and Lake view was only for those who stay in thier resorts not for us😪😪. Over all neat,clean and clam place to have some good time there.

    For a resort experience, the crowds and congestion at this hotel won't even matter. From horseback riding and boat rides to a mirage of multicultural dress code, you will surely be mesmerised. The foods are descent with diverse menu items and all-you-can-drink beers getting your groove on. It is a place to visit and spend a night if you only have a weekend around Kampala. Very classy, definitely high-end, and with a considerably higher price tag.

    I love Speke resort, I’ve only stayed a few times, but often go for food and use the gym and swim. 40k ugx is well worth it if your spending the full day there. Rooms a beautiful, with clean clear air coming in from the lake, it’s a nice little get away from the city. Only down side to this hotel is the food it’s not 5 star and overpriced. Everything else is top notch, amazing pictures especially on a beautiful sunny day.

    This is another top-tier resort in Uganda. I actually believe this one might be just a bit better than the other but the food the location the service just everything is very well done. If you have a chance, take the opportunity to walk along the Lake Victoria, and just bask in its beauty. One of the biggest lakes in the world, and in Africa. They take very good care of this hotel. Anything I needed they brought to me quickly and I felt very safe here.

  • 5/5 Muzeyi S. 3 months ago on Google • 180 reviews New
    Absolutely delighted with my experience at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort/Speak Resort/Speak Resort Convention Center. This 3-in-1 gem is a true 7-star haven. Nestled by Lake Victoria, the refreshing air and lush tropical surroundings set the perfect backdrop. The well-manicured green grass adds to the charm. The culinary delights, featuring a blend of international and local cuisines, were a treat for the taste buds. The swimming pool surpassed all expectations, and it's undoubtedly the best spot for kids to play. Highly recommended for international visitors, weekend family getaways, and memorable events like weddings and parties. An exceptional destination both indoors and outdoors.

    Great location by the lake, very tropical, nice and green with lush flowers and plants all around. Good food at the restaurant or room service, including many local options. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Pretty large property, with lots of space to host events, many lawns etc. Room was large, comfortable and had good temperature control, plus mosquito netting over the bed.

  • 4/5 Nkunda V. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful surroundings, clean and scenic. Lovely view of the lake. Very slow service from waiters, you're lucky if the waiter comes back to you when you place an order - this really needs to be improved. Service at reception has a 15 min waiting time. Poor Wi-Fi connectivity - it's choppy and there are too many dead zones. Go to relax not work otherwise you'll be frustrated with the slow pace

  • 5/5 Pavan K. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently stayed at this amazing resort and I have to say, it was absolutely incredible. From the moment I arrived, I felt like royalty. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, always making sure my every need was taken care of. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds that are immaculately maintained. There's a gorgeous pool area where you can relax in the sun or take a refreshing swim. And if you're feeling adventurous, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained – from water sports to hiking trails, there's something for everyone. But what really stood out to me was the food. Oh my goodness, the food! Every meal was a feast for the senses – beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for international cuisine or local specialties, you won't be disappointed. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience at this resort and I can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a luxurious getaway that will leave you feeling pampered and relaxed, look no further – this place has everything you could possibly want and more.

    Built in preparation of the inaugural CHOGM meeting in KAMPALA, it stands to attest to the exquisite and diverse tests of all the Common wealth countries. Right from the magnificent lake views, water sports and an equestrian center and the largest Olympic size swimming pools, all in the middle of the pearl of Africa. Visit to indulge in finesse 😍😍😍

  • 5/5 Acellam A. 6 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    Ultra modern facility that handle large and international gathering and conferences and the location is very prime and natural habitats maintained. Cussines are numerous and fantastic. Services very good with the exception of a few delays here and there.

  • 4/5 Christine M. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    Great view of the lake and ideal for dinner dates at the Marina restaurant. Kids would love the horse riding and also a great venue for newlywed photo sessions. 😀

    The very very best resort in East and Central Africa. Out of this world. Everything U want, Everything U ask, Everything U expect is there ans available. Fantastic

  • 4/5 HENRY LARRY N. 1 year ago on Google
    Take me out on a dinner date, Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort! The average Ugandan’s heart will skip a beat on hearing that. Relax, the meals are sumptuous, the service pampering, and of course what you want to know very pocket friendly. If you really want to make a date statement that will last awhile, you should never hesitate to respond to that request in the affirmative. 😉 Caution: Just don’t trust the call in reservation service, it might disappoint you too.

    One amazing place to visit. It's in a nice location. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. I will go back to this place. Food is very good. All cooked fresh .

  • 2/5 Joshua Present (. 1 year ago on Google
    The Viking bar is just that a bar. Not a bar and grill or resto pub as it should be. Great place for a drink, horrible place for a bite to eat. The owners should consider adding burgers and pizzas to the menu to offer something more substantial. It could be a great place for locals to gather and eat, not just hotel guests looking to binge drink.

  • 5/5 Zerihun K. 7 months ago on Google
    This a very beautiful place where to be. I was there for a conference I highly appreciate the room I had with a beautiful lake view. They serve excellent dishes European, indian, African.... All staff are very helpful and

  • 4/5 Martin B. 7 months ago on Google
    The pool guy on the childrens pool is very money hungry. On 8/26/23 he wanted to get more money from us for each child even after we paid at the entrance for swimming. It was a turn off . Even toward the end of the day , he wouldn't leave us alone until i gave him a dollar for doing nothing for us. Total turn off of this high end place . Service would be a 4.8 but the pool guy makes it a 3 .

  • 5/5 Placyde T. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Pros: Luxury of the room Beauty and serenity of the multiple gardens. Cleanliness. Cons: Service could be improved.. "Don't judge a book by its cover"...

    I usually love the pool here, but there is currently a huge construction project right next to the pool, overlooking the pool area. The baby pool was very dirty. I recommend skipping until the construction is finished.

    Rooms like five star and amenities provided are so good... Restaurant area is also cool and mostly you will get live music here...

  • 5/5 Sammie Y. 8 months ago on Google
    I am giving 3 star for services because of the way we were treated on arrival to the hotel. The attendant had our information and rooms were already allocated to us, but for reasons known to him he asked us to fill forms and just behaved like he didn't have our information at all, not until the person who did the booking for us was called because the attendant was wasting our time, and this was around 3am.

    I had a wonderful stay at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort. The resort is beautiful and spacious, with a stunning view of Lake Victoria. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The room was comfortable and clean, with a balcony overlooking the pool. I enjoyed the facilities, especially the fitness center and the spa. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway in Kampala. Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort is a great place to stay in Kampala. The resort has a lot of amenities, such as an outdoor pool, a gym, a restaurant, and a bar. The room was cozy and elegant, with a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV. The staff were courteous and attentive, and the service was impeccable. The resort is located near Lake Victoria, which offers a beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. I loved my stay at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort and I would definitely come back again.

    Amazing retreat, where service is second to none. Staff are attentive and friendly. Rooms are tastefully decorated with comfortable bed and furniture. Fantastic lake view and manicured lawn.

  • 5/5 Aquila T. 9 months ago on Google
    Very exceptional place. One of a KIND. Spacious. Management is on Point. And too well organised. The day was 1st July 2023, I had attended a wedding and coincidentally 5 weddings were being hosted. But, they managed to pull it off. How do I know? I parked my car at the Marine Bay Area by the waterside of Lake Victoria still within Speke Resort Munyonyo. Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌 😀 🙌

  • 5/5 Eugenio A. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice place near the lake. The scenery is beautiful. The swimming pool should be mentioned specially: it is outstanding and awesome, the best place to relax on weekend. The place is worth visiting 👍

    Everyone has a life story, I am so happy to have my lover back again after 8 good months of separation. I never thought we will live a happy life together again, but today, I am so glad for what Dr Ali Karim spell caster did for me as he cast a reconciliation love spell for me to bring back my Ex to live together with me again. My testimony to everyone who is in the same situation as i was,should contact him or whatsapp on +256726517738.

  • 4/5 Alessandro B. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a fancy place for the area, with a lot of space to have fun and activities to do. The park is nice and the view of the lake is pretty. It's better not to swim, but it's not their fault it's because of the pollution. There are different restaurants, fancy or easy going. Both serve good meals. Sometimes there is even entertainment in the garden

    This resort is the best in the town. They follow Covid19 measures. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and varied. The room was clean and the service is excellent ! We enjoyed relaxing in this resort after a long trip in Uganda safaris. Also, it has many facilities, sauna, gym and two swimming pools.

  • 5/5 Guilherme P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was sick prior to going to the hotel and as soon as I needed the staff were there to assist me as much as they could. The chef prepared me a dish according to my standards due to my sickness (it was scrumptious by the way) and the staff notified a doctor who arrived in my room with all the necessary equipment in less than half an hour. The breakfast has a nice variety of choices and the environment is beautiful and relaxing. This hotel has really high standards and is definitely one of the best I've been so far.

  • 3/5 Diane N. 2 years ago on Google
    Sunday is band day💃 very amazing. I just found it weird that they collect entrance fee of 5000 on the weekends. Id been there a couple of times before and there was no entrance fee. Food taste is average nothing special or woow. The main restaurant has prices exclusive of VAT and service charge. But it has beautiful scenery of-course.

  • 5/5 Don B. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome staff. As with other Ugandan resorts I've visited I found the Ugandan people to be the politest and most sincere in the world. When you have people of this caliber what could possibly go wrong? Fantastic experience!

  • 5/5 Simon L. 2 years ago on Google
    What a gem on a the shores of Lake Victoria. Uganda 🇺🇬 has a lot of exotic places at a very reasonable price. Please market these places to South African. I will do my part. Came here for my birthday (31 July....) and everything is just wow, from the countless facilities, friendliness, respect, humility, dedication, hardwork and an excellent service (all great attributes of Ugan people) and excellent team at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort. I love this country.

  • 3/5 Bakyazi K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's very beautiful and has many activities available for both children and adults ie swimming, boat rides, bouncing castles etc. The food tastes absolutely heavenly. I had a chance to go to the spa with my mom and sister for pedicures and manicures and staff was very professional. The only bad experience I had was that for the first time in Uganda I experienced xenophobia; the wait stuff ignored us when we went for dinner, the waitress offered seating space to the white couple that entered after us and we sat for an hour without being attended to. During the weekend one needs to pay at the entrance before he/she is allowed entry.

  • 5/5 remmie b. 1 year ago on Google

    People at the reception is so un professional especially the indian guys in management. I came early in the morning and they counted it as whole night and they told we told when you came I told them i came from a long trip I was so tired I maynot have heard you so try to be nice they told if you any bad review we will show all the papers you have signed. So bad attitude as if I am a stealer.
