La Joya Lodge Conference Centre and Spa

Wonderful property with peaceful surrounds, spacious design inside and out, and good amenties. However it is spoiled by an obvious management policy that's shoved in your face the minute you enter the property that you are not allowed to bring your own alcohol and if youy do, it will be confiscated if found. I mean really, it's extremely off putting and petty. Even worse their wine line list is ordinary - at least provide the choice to spend money to buy premium wine to enjoy with your dinner if you so choose. The attitude converyed by and extensive rules list of what is not allowed (no bluetooth speakers!) detracts from what is otherwise a beautiful environment and facilities is self defeating.

The stay was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Andrew and Refiloe. It was an overall joyous moment…

It was relaxing

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. The only challenge I encountered was the speed humps from the gate to the reception. Since I was driving a very low car, it kept scraping on the humps.

Clean relaxing stay especially enjoyed the suites some place for a quick break outside Johannesburg
