Always the go-to hotel when in Eswatini. The atmosphere is relaxing, staff very welcoming and food delicious (even if a bit too slow). The villas are lovely!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel room (King Suite) was very spacious and clean. The hotel rooms are spread across different buildings, so you never really notice the size of the complex. The staff are friendly and very keen to provide good service. The breakfast buffet was adequate and good, offering everything we needed and expected. Overall, a very pleasant stay while passing through eSwatini.

The Villas are not nice and new, and need some improvement. Hot water needs to call. However, the service is amazing. The food is the best. If I will come back to Swaziland, I will stay here again

Good stay in Eswatini

It was a good stay, no issues to report. Everything worked well, bathroom was great, had all amenities. Was of course too cold to use the pool since it's winter. Breakfast was ok, probably expected more from this type of level.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had the kings suite. Quite nice that in a large villa there is a shared space but you also have your own room or suite inside the villa. It was quiet and comfortable. The location in the Ezilwini valley is very beautiful and convenient if you have a car. Friendly personnel and a relatively good restaurant too. I tried the eggs Benedict for warm breakfast that was so so not the greatest but am confident that other warm breakfast options will be better. Overall I would recommend it.

Great working trip

This Hotel has been recommended by The Prince, and I decided to stay there for 8 nights after staying in a different hotel. It’s super cool that you get a full villa, even if only one room if that is what you bookes. But there is also a commons living room where you can chill all alone if no other guest are there. Villa 4 where is stayed is nice with Presidential Suite but villa 2 has a private pool, I will stay there next time. Very calm and quiet place to relax. The common pool is amazing and the bar too. Great restaurant and breakfast!

Great as always but this time they didn’t want to give me extra bred during dinner and when I proposed to pay they said they don’t sell bread, ridiculous. Then during breakfast there was no water, I asked and they charged me for it…

De verblijven zijn villa's, op een afgesloten en bewaakt terrein, waarin de kamers zich bevinden. De standaard kamers zijn ruim en schoon. Het restaurant heeft een uitgebreid menu met ook lokale specialiteiten. Het ontbijt is uitstekend.
