This hotel is fantastic and a great value for what it offers. My stay was great from start to finish. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful - the airport pickup was quick, convenient and pleasant (if a little expensive), the staff at the front desk remembered me each morning and helped me print documents for my meetings. Food options are very good too. I visited the 24/7 coffee bar in the lobby at least once a day, enjoyed a drink by the poolside restaurant and finished my stay with dinner at Inca. Rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. Every amenity has been thought of with care and flair here. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Nice property, but somewhat overrated. The Social House has a pleasant atmosphere and some attractive spaces, and the overall concept is nice. However, given its reputation and the expectations that come with it, I found the experience to be just okay rather than exceptional. The smell.of the restaurant was all over my room. The property has a nice design and a relaxed feel, but some aspects did not quite live up to the level I was expecting. The service was pleasant overall, although there was room for more attention to detail. It’s a perfectly decent place to stay, but based on its reputation, I expected a more memorable and refined experience.

This is my second visit to the hotel, and I after having just stayed for 3 weeks, I must leave an enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The hotel's decor is a very pleasant and modern Afrochic. Its a real oasis after work, and having a room with a balcony overlooking the pool was a real plus. Great to sit out and relax in the evening. Breakfast is excellent with a good choice of healthy options. Staff service is friendly & very good.
