Beautiful setting for a relaxing time. The constant sound of waves throughout the night was peaceful. Tonny and his staff were always willing to provide for any need or request. Food was flavorful, however, the desserts were not always available. If you would like to hike or tour the area, please make sure you that your guide agrees to the price ahead of time.

It was my favorite top place for many years enjoying Lake Malawi, but now they installed a loud speaker system on the beach polluting the whole lodge with terribly loud bum bum bum day and night until 10 pm, even in the last room no 15 there was no chance to find sleep. Talking to the management proved unsuccessful. Also nobody cares about getting supplies. If you want to order from the menu, you will be told no Greek salad, no vegetable paella, no tagliatelle, no zucchini, no t-bone, no pork chops, no goat stew, no ice cream no red wine by glass, not even tonic water, just to mention a few missing items, three days in a row. I strongly recommend not visiting Sunbird Chintheche unless you enjoy loud music noise throughout and don’t care about the menu diversity and you don’t want to enjoy a gin tonic.

Great stay overall, but small bathroom and bar should be separate from restaurant. The man on the reception was excellent and very helpful.

I went with my two daughters. This was the first time i travelled with kids alone for a holiday. Our stay at Sunbird Chintheche was truly amazing. The staff were awesome and they made us feel at home. I loved how quiet and peaceful it was was. Perfect for relaxing. The beach was absolutely stunning, the kids enjoyed every moment by the lake. A calm, beautiful escape that we'd definitely return to!!

The hotel has comfortable rooms for family stay - nice twin beds for kids and a double bed for the couple . Both have excellent beddings and pillows . Just need to improve on bathroom towels, need a replacement with new ones befitting a hotel . Overall, excellent services !
