Reviews

Andria 8/10
South Africa 🇿🇦

It was pleasant

Pros: Dinner and Breakfast was excellent - staff during meals are great and well trained. However, the reception staff quote us R180-00 per person for breakfast for our extra two guests that join us for breakfast. At payment time it was R250-00 per person. Huge difference. But we paid it because we do not want to make a seen in the restaurant.

Cons: The stairs to the dining room are very dangerous.

Pros: We had a great experience. The executive suite was everything - the views, the serenity and the relation 🤌🏽. We even decided to extend by an extra night because it was that good. Thank you for the amazing experience. This was our second time back and we are definitely returning again.

Cons: The bath tub was leaking a bit. After taking a bath, there was water all over the floor.
