This hotel definitely has its charms, especially with the stunning views of the lake and the overall atmosphere that invites relaxation.

I had an amazing time at Haile Resort Hotel Hawassa! The warm hospitality made me feel right at home, and the breakfast was truly the best I've had in Ethiopia. The lake view from my room was breathtaking, although I didn't get the exact suite I reserved. The dining options were great, and the boat trip was a highlight! However, the Wi-Fi could use improvement. Overall, it’s a wonderful place I would highly recommend.
