Merica Hotel Nakuru Gives Us a Pleasant Surprise
As we entered Merica Hotel, we were surprised by what we saw. There, in the middle of Nakuru, was a hotel of international caliber that could rival many worldwide.
There was a buffet available in the main dining room that day at a price of Ksh. 750 (~ US$ 10) per person.
We decided not to have the buffet since we were on a journey. Instead, we decided to sit at the poolside and order food à la carte.
The poolside area was bustling with activity. The clear blue water of the pool provided a beautiful cool contrast to the hot sun shining that day.
The clientele seemed both locally from Nakuru and from elsewhere. There were families, obviously on a Sunday family outing, as well as tourists soaking up the Nakuru sun.
We sat in a corner of the pool area. Very quickly, a waiter came to take our order.
On the menu that day, we sampled a mixed meat platter, a pizza, a grilled fish fillet, and chicken ya kupaka (chicken “dry fry”).
We all enjoyed our meal tremendously. I tasted the meat platter, as well as the pizza.
The pizza was better than anything I would expect outside an Italian restaurant.
The meat was very tasty.
We stayed at Merica Hotel for a little over an hour that day, but the hotel still stands out in my mind.
The service was excellent, the food good, and the environment invigorating.
I look forward to one day going back and seeing what else the hotel has to offer.
