Blue Nile Resort

Blue Nile Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Blue Nile was one beyond our expectations. We celebrated our 1-year anniversary there and the staff went above and beyond to show how much they appreciated our staying there. The manager picked us up from the airport. We changed and went to dinner which was great the chef greeted us at our table and made sure our meals were on point, He also greeted us each day at every meal we had there Thank You Chef it was a pleasure talking with you each time. The grounds were wonderful, being right on the lake was key waking up at the sunrise and hearing the chants coming from the Khans at the local church was a Blessing for me. In all we decided to extend our stay another day. The manager decided to bless us with an upgrade for the rest of our stay, but the wife loved the atmosphere of our room she wanted to stay there. We are truly appreciative to the manager and his team at the front desk and to Chef and his team at the restaurant again I say thank you for your hospitality and future recommendations Mid Rock will be pursuing there and other areas in Ethiopia Thank you all we will see you'll in June of 2027 Thank You from the Calhoun's"
