Haile Resort

Top choice in Southern Ethiopia


Popular with weekending families, this well-managed resort is widely praised for its attractive setting – in large manicured gardens that open onto a stretch of lakeshore – and numerous facilities, including a modern restaurant, a small pool and a kids' playground. Rooms are comfortable, if a bit blandly decorated. Be sure to book a room with a lake view.
