Ashnil Aruba Lodge

“Short stay during a 2-day safari. Wonderful lodge”

Wonderful stay during a 2-day Safari. Great experience. Very close to the elephants during full moon. Very good breakfast, lunch and dinner with a comfortable room

“Tsavo east - amazing experience!”

The Ashnil Resort is a very good lodge located right in the heart of Tsavo East National Park.

The Ashnil Resort is a very good lodge located right in the heart of Tsavo East National Park. The rooms, designed in the classic style of a holiday village, still provide plenty of comfort, tranquility, and the perfect atmosphere to relax after a full day out on safari. What truly makes this resort stand out is its exceptional location inside the park. Being surrounded by the savannah allows for an even more direct, immersive, and meaningful connection with the wildlife — all while staying completely safe at any time of the day or night. We were incredibly lucky to witness elephants walking along the resort’s fence in the middle of the night… a magical experience we will never forget. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The food selection, while not extensive, offered good quality dishes that satisfied all our needs. If you’re looking for a place that blends comfort with the thrill of being fully immersed in nature, Ashnil Resort is a wonderful choice. Its atmosphere, proximity to wildlife, and the unique experience it offers make it a truly memorable stay.

“I will not return”

This property did not meet our expectations for a four-star lodge and ended up being our least favorite among the eight places we stayed during a two-week safari in Kenya.

This property did not meet our expectations for a four-star lodge and ended up being our least favorite among the eight places we stayed during a two-week safari in Kenya. The rooms felt very dated, and unfortunately not in a charming or intentionally rustic way. A simple refresh isn’t enough here — the rooms would really benefit from a full renovation. The bathroom appears to have been updated in a more modern style, which clashes with the otherwise safari/nature aesthetic of the lodge. Choosing and committing to one design direction would make a big difference. The lodge also doesn’t fully take advantage of its surroundings. While animals do roam the nearby plains, views from the common areas and rooms are largely obstructed by trees and bushes. With some thoughtful trimming, the wildlife viewing experience could be significantly improved. Food was another weak point compared to other lodges we visited. While acceptable, it lacked the quality and variety we experienced elsewhere. The use of heavy cast-iron serving pots also made the buffet less practical, with guests constantly trying to figure out where to place hot lids. On the positive side, the international electrical outlets with USB ports were convenient (though more outlets near the bed would be appreciated), and the mosquito net design was excellent — easily the best we encountered during our trip. Overall, if there are options, I would stay somewhere else or adjust expectations as if this was 2 star hotel.

“One night for me was one night too many”

I felt this place was a let down after some of the places we have stayed in the past 10 days. The rooms very dated. Bed was very hard. Only 2 portable fans. It was 30 degrees during the night and the power went out. We were sweltering it was not pleasant. No ventilation in this place. The food I pe… lisää

I felt this place was a let down after some of the places we have stayed in the past 10 days. The rooms very dated. Bed was very hard. Only 2 portable fans. It was 30 degrees during the night and the power went out. We were sweltering it was not pleasant. No ventilation in this place. The food I personally found average. The staff are lovely and welcoming. The noise from 217 area is hideous beware something outside like a siren most of the night. Perhaps solar. No sleep in this place. I am glad I never booked at any of the sister companies for the rest of my trip.
