"Auf unserer gesamten Reise war es das mit Abstand teuerste Hotel mit dem schlechtesten Zimmer. Das Personal war ehr freu"

7.0

Tolle Aussicht, super Yoga Desk

Die Zimmer sind in die Jahre gekommen und eher zweckmäßig, als gemütlich. Das gesamte Hotel hat eine Renovierung nötig.

"Super personeel en heerlijke locatie"

10.0

Het personeel is echt een 10+ en dat maakt de totale ervaring al geweldig. Daar bovenop nog een geweldig zwembad, prachtig uitzicht en fijne bedden. Zeker een aanrader!

9.0

I booked this stay to enjoy the views and it felt like a real treat every single day! Beautiful sunsets and amazing to see the whales tail. I saw many birds from my balcony including a close encounter with a toucan! Also a Tayra? In the bushes. The meals were fresh and very affordable. Large comfortable bed, working air con. The staff are lovely. Jessica on reception was so thorough and helpful with everything, all done with great kindness. Franco is a top tier whizz behind that bar and made me feel welcome immediately, so personable. Thank you to the other staff who were also kind and welcoming. It’s a lovely place to relax, unwind and enjoy the views.

The room is basic and has everything you need! It was just a little worn in some areas e.g. the bathroom seals and shower floor, it was also a little dusty here and there but overall nothing to impair my stay. If you don’t have your own 4x4, you have to be willing to order taxis to get to and from places due to the steep hill, my transport was easily arranged.

"Beautiful setting to see the sunsets from an infinity pool."

8.0

The pool, restaurant and bar areas were really lovely especially the infinity pool. There are also amazing views and an ideal setting to see the sunset. The staff were amazing especially Jason they couldn’t do enough to help.

Our room was tired especially the bathroom. Could do with a makeover. There were lots of stairs and no lifts but the staff helped with our luggage but still lots of stairs to climb to and from our room to the main area. The road up to the hotel is steep and badly kept which made a very bumpy ride.

"Sehr nett, Abstriche beim Zimmer"

8.0

Tolle Aussicht, sehr nettes Personal, schöner Pool, Zimmer einfach und zweckmäßig, schon relativ veraltet. Frühstück und Abendessen in Ordnung, aber kein Highlight. Die Straße zur Lodge ist eine Katastrophe.

Die Straße sollte dringend repariert werden, v.a. auf die Breite "normaler" Autos. Renovierung der Zimmer nötig.

"bof"

2.0

la vue, le restaurant et le personnel

la route est très difficile d’accès, pas de prise direct dans les chambres obligé d’enlever la tête de lit pour y avoir accès, les habitations sont loin du centre de l’hôtel, la wifi n’est pas très bonne, je trouve que pour le prix ce n’est pas assez bien..

"Espectacular vista desde la habitación y desde el área pública ."

10.0

La vista, el trato del personal, la comida en el restaurante.

Muchas escaleras. La habitación donde estuvimos no tenía caja de seguridad y la puerta al balcón no tenía cerrojo ni mosquitero. Pero el lugar es muy seguro y por dicha nadie entró a la habitación a robar.
