Loved our stay! The resort has amazing customer service, good food and breathtaking views.

Enjoyed using all the amenities and conversing with the locals. Highly recommend!

The pool at Haile resort is a haven of tranquility, the birds flying above you on the water, the flowers and huge trees frame this human pond like a canopy, the lake just below, boats of fishermen working to make their daily catch. The rooms are cozy and the view on the Hawassa lake is just magnificent. Sit outside and watch the sunrise on this vast expanse of water. Restaurant and bar completely satisfactory. Bonus is the spa with very good treatments if you have some spare time.

I had an amazing stay at Haile resort in Hawassa. The resort is located by the beautiful Lake Hawassa, which offers a stunning view of the water and the wildlife. The food was so delicious and varied, from traditional Ethiopian dishes to international cuisine. The staff were so friendly and humble, always ready to help and make me feel comfortable. The resort also has an outdoor swimming pool, a playground, a gym, and a bar. I stayed for a week and enjoyed every moment of it. Haile resort is definitely one of the best hotels in Ethiopia and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation.

Everything is exceptional here. Just like the legendary Haile G/Slassie (the owner) is the best in the world, the hotel is the best and amazing.

Hawasa Resort Hotel in Ethiopia offers exceptional service and a stunning resort experience. With breathtaking views, comfortable rooms, and attentive staff, it's a delightful retreat by Lake Hawasa. The delicious dining options and a range of activities make it an unforgettable destination.

Haile Resort Hawassa is a great place to stay in Awasa. It has a romantic environment and many helpful amenities designed to enhance your stay. It is “a very welcoming place, very quite and chill, the staff’s are so respectful, amazing place with very beautiful view lake.

Loved the traditional dance performance. I’ve lived in Hawassa for about a year, and we often visit the various resorts in town, mainly as recreation for our kids. Haile is definitely a favorite. Nice playground for the kids and beautiful grounds for the parents to enjoy a drink and meal with a view. What it lacks compared to the other resorts is an embrace of Ethiopia’s cultural heritage. If you want traditional music, dancing, ambiance, you will find it at Rori, Ker-Awud, Lewi, but less so at Haile. Or so I thought. Last Saturday I happened to stay a little later (6:00 PM / 12:00 local) and was pleasantly surprised to see an amazing traditional dance performance. We had so much fun with the dancers. They invited us and the kids to join them in one of the dances, and my kids were thrilled. It was a memorable evening for all of us. I asked, and it sounds like they perform the same time every Saturday, so I highly recommend a visit. Sadly they only perform once per week. I really hope Haile starts offering more of these kinds of cultural experiences.
