My stay at the resort in Hawassa was quite memorable. The stunning views were a highlight, and the staff went above and beyond to assist me during a health issue.

My stay at Haile Resort Hawassa was truly memorable. The location, right by Lake Hawassa, offered breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere away from city life. The room was spacious and clean, but I did find it a bit tight for my family of four. The dining options were delightful, especially the breakfast buffet and the dinner selection. However, I did notice that the Wi-Fi was not working during my stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, particularly with the special arrangements the staff made for my parents' anniversary.
