Wonderful Scenery.
The place has Amazing sights from the time you get on that boat, viewing green islands to the dock where there are forests with beautiful birds and boom! You hit the beach with smooth sand surrounded by neat cottages. The people are pretty friendly and offer great service 👌 I will be visiting again and highly recommend it.

Enjoyable Relaxing Stay
The hotel and gardens are beautifully maintained. The staff and management were all very attentive and accommodating. Always making sure we were well looked after. We really enjoyed our relaxing 4 night stay.

GOOD VENUE FOR RELAXING
The reception personel were good and addressed me by name(something unique) and management accepted my request for a tea making facility in my room. The housekeeping staff was real good for the 4 days I was there. The swimming pool was well maintained. WiFi was only working in the lounge area. The food was the icing on the cake.....great food provided and the breakfast display was amazing.( Different well prepared food for the 4 days..this is a plus). Highly recommended.

That Sunset Boat Cruise....
We were there for the Easter weekend and had a lovely time. The rooms are very comfortable, the meals great. But that sunset boat cruise is an experience you must have! We had too much fun. Carry speakers and your preferred drinks for an amazing good time!

The island's best resort due to lack of competition
S00°19.074', E032°16.811’ Brovad Sands Lodge on Bugala Island, part of the Ssesse Islands in Lake Victoria, is widely regarded as a resort with good guest service. The staff look neat in their uniforms and reception operates efficient. Brocade Sands Lodge offers a variety of accommodation, from lake-view bungalows to hotel rooms. As a resort, Brovad Sands Lodge offers guests a restaurant and recreation activities, such as swimming pool (only sunbathing on the beach because of the parasite that causes bilharzia (schistosomiasis) in the lake water), boot trips, excursions and forest walks. In January 2023, we slept in room 14 at the resort. This room has a veranda, bedroom with double bed, desk, chair, television, wardrobe and a bathroom with hot shower. At first glance, everything looks fine, but on closer inspection it lacks maintenance, possible due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Where is the porch ceiling? The bed slept comfortably and was clean. Sound insulation between rooms is poor. Wi-Fi reception is only available in the main building, but often does not work there. There is no visible dinning option outside the resort (perhaps at other resorts), so guests are a captive audience to the restaurant. The restaurant offers buffet or a la carte dinning, served inside, on the veranda or on the lawn. For the staff, the buffet is self-serve and therefor good to go. The drinks are a challenge in themselves. For a la carte dinning, the system falls apart. No head waiter for directions or coordination between the waiters on the floor. Ordered soup took 75 minutes to arrive after 5 requests to waiters and complaining at the reception. Waiters perform their solo duties and do not talk to each other.
