I feel so wellcome always.
Thank you
The staff were nice and friendly. They offered a first class professional service. African Princess made sure our stay was a memourable one..
Room is of a high standard clean and comfortable. We look forward to returning.
Overall the staff stood out for me, they worked very hard with what they had, they were always polite and went above and beyond to make sure you were comfortable and happy.
As for the hotel, I was very disappointed that the gym was out of use( one of the main reasons I chose that hotel) however you were given a voucher to use another hotel that was 10mins walk away, that wasn’t appealing to me, as I wanted the convenience of doing my workout then shower and breakfast, it was a tight window for my routine to flow.
The sower was disappointing as there were irrigation issues, the water kept backing up, it wouldn’t drain away quickly, I did report it several times, they did try to rectify it with a plunger but it was temporary.
Another important point, security needs to be stepped up as a man managed to enter the hotel and scammed me out of 400 delassi( their currency) so be very careful if someone approaches you with a hard luck story about running out of petrol and having to take his mother to the hospital.. he spoke very good English . So be careful!
All very good. Only thing: there should be body lotion and hair conditionner in the room. Also, checkout time is noon. Cleaning came at 11:45 AM, sending me scrambling to vacate the room because my phone wasn't handy to check the time. They didn't ask I vacate right (it's Ok, we will come later) then but I got the message.
A lovely and well-maintained hotel with a welcoming and pleasant staff.
The room was simple and spacious, the pool right outside clean and well-maintained. The food and service in the restaurant was professional, and the breakfast was lovely, there was something for everyone.
All in all we had a wonderful stay, with a feeling of luxury.
Stayed there 6 nights. The breakfast is always the same. The menu didn't change a thing from last time I`ve there 2 months ago. A lot of options wasn't available. The beer is served at 20ªC at the bar, which is called sports bar. Coffee machine broke 3 times while our stay. Maybe is due to the out season, but they call them selves a 4 star hotel, its more like 3.
