Superb location close to the lagoon but away from the smelly bit (lagoon smells of sulphur as you go south) close to good dining options, relaxed feel. Rooms were clean and spacious, well serviced. Bar on site for a nightcap.

Lovely staff - friendly and helpful. The room was standard and basic. WiFi was super slow and when other guests were in the hotel it was basically 3G speeds. The location is not great. There is not much in the area and transport is difficult if you don’t have your own rental car.

Die Lage ist wunderschön, die Ausstattung war mal sehr schön, wird aber nicht gut instand gehalten. Das Essen im Restaurant war mittelmäßig, das Frühstück allerdings gut. An Silvester hatte nicht mal die Bar bis 24.00 Uhr geöffnet. Das Personal an der Rezeption war unfreundlich. Insgesamt bei den Preisen nicht zu empfehlen.

Prima voor een nachtje

We hebben hier een nacht verbleven. Standaard kamers, zoals je van een keten kunt verwachten. Wel een mooi balkon met zeezicht. Ontbijt was prima en divers. Eten vonden we niet geweldig. Maar er is genoeg in de buurt. Leuke locatie vanwege de vele pelikanen.

The property was in nice shape and the staff was friendly and professional. But our room was not in good shape, we were given a smaller bed than promised and mechanicals were worn. The shower curtain was missing and we could not take a decent shower.

A bit disappointed for a Protea Group

There was no hot water during the time I was there. No communication was sent out to inform the guests that there was a problem with the boiler. I had to complain a few times and only on the day I was leaving I was told what the actual problem was. At the end the manager gave us discount on our stay. Great location and beautiful views.

Nice hotel, at the end of the bay, beautiful view

Hotel is very nicely located, at the end of the bay, offers a nice area to walk or run (up to 8K) and observe the pelicans, sun set and more.
