"In general the hotel is very run down. Things falling apart and dysfunctional, including pool area and umbrellas and gardens. The resort is in desperate need of serious maintenance. Also, no wi fi in rooms for a 4 star hotel is not really acceptable. Poor conditions somewhat compensated for by the first class and much appreciated service from Petrus and some of his staff -especially chef and Thabisa."

10/10 Excellent

Expectations were high as this is the most we've ever spent on accommodation. We were not disappointed! Pure luxury from start to finish. Drank the complementary port in the plunge pool. Ordered bubbly and had it in the deep bath tub. Enjoyed room service of cheese, chocolate desert and red wine in front of the fire. In the morning breakfast was delicious with little monkeys outside providing great entertainment. A bag with water and biscuits was a nice surprise on checkout.
