I visited Lake Malawi on a day trip from Lilongwe and had lunch at Sunbird Waterfront. I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet lunch, which had so much on offer. The Chambo fish, in particular, was amazing! After the meal, I couldn't resist the urge to take a dip in the fresh water of Lake Malawi. The beach area is so nice and well kept. I was surprised to see that the lake water has some waves, and the splashing water made it much fun to swim. You really feel like you are in the ocean. It was a thrilling experience!

My stay was for my 70th birthday celebration and house keeping was exceptional by beautifying our bed with "Happy birthday Daddy"

Please clean the carpets in the rooms. My room had a dirty rug, and the bed linens were not as lovely. Overall, the service was excellent, and the food was nice.

My recent stay at Sunbird Waterfront was a refreshing and memorable experience. Perfectly situated on the shores of Lake Malawi, the hotel offers a breathtaking lakeside atmosphere with the tranquility you rarely find elsewhere. From the moment of arrival, the staff were friendly, attentive, and efficient. Check-in was smooth, and we were soon welcomed into a clean, well-appointed room with a stunning view of the lake. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and birdsong was a real highlight.
