Stunning place and location”
great location, staff are nice and friendly . buffet was delicious and such a wide variety. staff even offered to store luggage for 2 hours after check out, i will definitely be back. the room was very clean, but i suggest maybe an air fresher or a detergent that leaves off a nice clean fresh smell. the room just didnt have a nice smell, damp if i can say, overall stay was amazing ! spacious with a lovely beach view. decent bathroom and lovely shower

Excellent stay ”
Being vegetarian they catered for me as per my request which was much appreciated. I also requested a liytle surprise for my daughter who turned 13, and they made up a plate with 2 huge slices of cake., saying happy birthday on the plate and ballons and a card. that extra personal touch which many hotels lack. Just one issue was that when we requested a jug of water in our room, as they didbt replenish water, we were asked to pay R25 for a jug of normal water. I didnt get that cos every night they give us Lindt chocolates but we had to pay for water lol. But overall excellent. The manager and check in staff was brilliant, as I booked with the app but some mishaps happened which they sorted out and even gave us early check in around 11h30 instead of 14h00.loved it and will be back
