Very vast and beautiful
I loved everything

The location is superb, close to the beach, but also close to good infrastucture
The breakfast served in the mornings. We paid for 10 days breakfast for 2 people, but only used it 3 times and forfeited the money paid (R5000.00). Furniture and apartments are not maintained well. Broken chair, and visual worn (used) furniture, but have to admit the place were regularly cleaned to a high standard. Access to the beach was also cumbersome, as we had to announce well in advance for a vehicle to take us to the beach, and the same on the return. We were not allowed to drive to the beach, as there is not enough parking

The pool area is one of the best features. And the spa is great. Nice big bed in the rooms.
The staff was excellent
The rooms are cold, aircon didn’t work and no electrical blanket.

The buffet breakfast and Dream pizza and cocktails from terrace bar
The view
The old world charm yet rhe antique furniture pieces must be restored and re upholstered but the plantation look adds to the plantation look and feel of a bygone area
The walkway is washed away connecting the hotel to the golf cart way leading to beach
I had to request my bed to be remade..there was human hairs in it on check in
Linen and towels are very very old and must be replaced
No in room dining
Hotel in dire need of deep clean and treatment of mould in rooms and aircons
Aircon goes off during loadshedding
No connector plug provided for coffee pod machine
Furniture upholstery carpets and curtains must be replaced andnhave seen better days
Look at the cascading ponds it is not working properly and is dark black in colour and stagnant in places..there were mosquitoes as a result
