Their parking lot isn't the best, BUT there are the most majestic views, super helpful and accommodating staff, delicious restaurant, & fantastic spa (the full body scrub was AH-MAZING). We had a great time. It was a nice break from a lot of traveling. Our stay was short, but the relaxation was lasting!

- we were quite disappointed as this hotel is never a 4.4 on an average rating - last renovations feel like of the mid 80s - no outside window in the bathroom. Thus, it is quite dark in it and not cozy - It is called Spa Hotel but you can only use the sauna if you book another treatment and it is only until 6pm… - WiFi 1GB limitation and one key per device feels outdated (and no one tells you that you should keep the code as it expires after some hours…) - some spots in the hotel and room could be cleaner (if you look at the details, e.g. window frames in the breakfast outdoor area) large rooms friendly staff ocean view calm affordable much fruit for breakfast

My default hotel when we stay somewhere in South Africa. Breakfast was just as excellent as always and the staff friendly and sufficient. The only little detail that was different, on both nights the turndown service was only putting chocolate on the bed and not tidying up like they always did or refilling the tea, coffee etc. Not a big deal just something that was lacking this time.

Terrible. We were in room 106 and it was not functional. The front door didn't lock. The electrical would turn off and some lights might go on and off. The toilet had a siren sound when you flushed. We told the manager about this and he and his crew were in our room for an hour, unable to fix the electrical problems. They were very nice and responsive, but unable to fix the problem. They said they would let the manger know and the manager would contact us in the morning. We met him as we were leaving and he was surprised and offered nothing but continued apologies.

It would have been nice if the staff had let us know about n the numerous communications prior to our arrival that the road was blocked off with a large side that said “Road Closed” that we needed to drive around. Knowing we were coming in late and in the dark- I don’t know why they didn’t share this. We spoke in the phone twice before we got to that sign and had to call again to ask about it. It felt very unsafe in the neighborhood we had to go through to get there.
