Pretty Georgian style Hotel that was conveniently close to the airport and the shopping mall and across the road from the beach. We had Large spacious room on the 4th floor overlooking the pool area and sea. I nearly cancelled this Hotel as I read the reviews but to be fair, it actually exceeded my expectations. I don’t have anything negative to say about the hotel. We use the spa The treatments were quite expensive for South African prices but we’re from the UK so it was reasonable for us. I did think it was a little bit cheeky that they charge Extra to use the sauna steam room which would double the price of your massage. However, the massage was exceptional experience. The spa is an outsourced supplier to the hotel sitting. In door pool and out swimming pool there’s also a small gym with a couple of treadmills and a few other machines as useful as also water available. The shopping mall is very close by and a couple of supermarkets. Lots of restaurants you’ve got children is a cinema and an arcade. Breakfast was ok - buffet but included in room rate . Platinum level Expedia members we got a free bottle of fizz waiting for us when we arrived, which was a nice touch. They were secure car parking facility underneath the hotel with direct access into the list and straight into the hotel. The hotel was very quiet at night. We had no loud noises which I do and we felt safe.

This was a really nice and really comfortable hotel. The room was beautiful! I did a massage at the spa too and it was wonderful. It’s not on the water but it has great views of the water. They had a mall attached to it that we walked around and at dinner there. It was very nice.

Hotel was lovely. Easy free parking. Situated right night to a small mall where we had dinner in a restaurant on the seafront. This was great. Room was large and so was the bathroom. Windows opened fully to show sea and pool view. Only stayed one night. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was breakfast. This looked like it would be lovely but didn’t taste great, particularly the pancakes and coffee.

Superb location and lovely room on top floor. Outside pool was deserted but indoor pool full of kids. Nice peaceful sunbathing 😎. Staff were so helpful although a little slow at breakfast. Casino has smoking and non smoking areas which is good and I paid for the stay with my winnings 🤑

The standard of the hotel has dropped significantly. The curtains did not close properly. There some tv channels that were not playing. The bed side lamps were not working. All of the above were reported, but nothing was done. Lastly, at the dinning hall during breakfast you are made to wait because it is full and yet there's a space where they could prepare for more guests. The experience there was 3/10.
