The Blyde Crystal Lagoon One Bedroom Apartment

The Blyde facilities are absolutely amazing! It is a very relaxing place. The staff at the facilities are great! The host was lovely. I asked to extend my stay, and she did so without any issues. She even allowed me to add an extra little person onto my booking free of charge. The apartment is basic, and cosy. It's the facilities that would definitely make me stay here again! The security of the estate is just amazing! I didn't feel scared at all. The night vibe at the restaurant is great, especially happy hour between 5pm-7pm!

The apartment wasn't very clean. I arrived and my bathroom bin hadn't been emptied, an empty soft-drink bottle had been left on the side, bathroom bin had brown marks (praying it was make-up and not poop!), the fridge hadn't been cleaned, the towels are meant to be white but they are an awful off-white colour. The bedroom light cover is broken. If you have OCD around cleaniless, then this place won't be for you just based on that. If host paid more attention to cleaning services considering there is a charge for it, I would definitely stay here again. The bed doesn't have a headboard. PS: There is no working desk so it would be difficult to work from here if you needed to.

The apartment was stunning and comfortable. My partner and I enjoyed being indoors watching TV and using the facilities.

The entrance check in process was tedious, trying to go outside the complex was a mission with security struggling with their own system and making it our problem by delaying us at the gate. The service at the Maximo restaurant left a very bad taste in my mouth, our breakfast on Saturday was terrible, no toasted bread because of loadsheding, powder eggs used instead of real ones, entire meal was watery and runny and still got charged full price. Staff is not professional or friendly at all when entering or exiting the premises, made us feel more like intruders than guests.
