- BEVERLY (10/5): - The stay was comfortable and all of the facilities were avaliable as stated on the website. Nothing to mention
- Vivien (6/5): -
- Llewelyn (9/5): -
- Celina (5/5): - The staff were friendly and helpful The internet didnt work most of the time, then the Netflix wouldn't let me sign in. The Jaccuzi was getting hot enough and the Sauna wasn't getting hot at all. My husband celebrated his birthday, I made a request for rose petals and candles. This wasn't done.
- Hamzah (8/5): -
- Shunmugam (10/5): -
- David (10/5): Incredible!!! - The staff were brilliant, it had everything we needed and perfectly situated. It could do with a little TLC
- ivbar (10/5): -
- Rianet (7/5): Wonderful and would really recommend this property! - The unit was spacious and close to all the restaurants.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. The aircon in main bedroom could only function on high speed.
- Naidoo (9/5): -
- Shethal (7/5): Great value for money - The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Our unit was clean , neat and very comfortable. Everything worked perfectly fine. Its great value for money.
The location was excellent especially since we wanted to see nature's beautiful hippos and we saw them close enough. The restaurants are all walking distance, absolutely safe, you can walk freely even at night (just stay 30 meters from hippos) theres alot of good vibes in this beautiful town. Not a dislike just a suggestion, the resort needs a face lift with a few upgrades outside and a few inside but still great value for money.
- Fihli (10/5): nice and clean place, employees a so professional đâŁïžđ keep it - everything was 100% nothing at allđ€
- Karissa (10/5): - The kind lady at reception had noticed it was my birthday and she set up roses and gave a bottle of wine to celebrate as a surprise! It was so sweet.
She also suggested activities in the area and made a booking which was cheaper than what the websites showed. It was so convenient.
The accommodation itself was beautiful. It was neat and clean and situated in a spot where the Hippos crossed us. What an amazing stay at lack view Cabanas Only that the TV was not working
- Ntando (10/5): -
- Tshivhase (5/5): it was great - the apartment set up was very well, even thou only one air con was available. the garden and braai area was very beautiful and the beds are comfy. the location was the best thing for us. the host was too friendly. she should limit her small talks. she made an offensive comment about my partners height and ask if we are married or not. the rug in the living room had broken bottles, the kitchen friedge was not working well. the shower gels were almost empty. we booked for 4 guest and there were only 2 towels in the bathroom. only one had an air-conditioning and that was not specified.
- Phindile (3/5): Unsatisfactory - Great area, enough rooms for a small family (2 bedroom) We had the worst bedbugs in the second room (twin beds) and the couch. Eek! Our children woke up itchy with red marks all over and it went on during our whole stay. Pest control is very necessary in such areas, please be more considerate.

- Bethell (8/5): -
- Richard (8/5): - The happy birthday greeting and gift which was unexpected but much appreciated. Alfredos restaurant just round the corner. And of course the hippos walking down the street. Good place to stay.

- Ashika (6/5): - No wifi
No TV due to Poor wifi connection
Poor bathroom drainage
The unit is located directly above a restaurant, which makes the evenings very noisy

- Nonhlanhla (10/5): - Set of room 19 ,jacuzzi,sauna,pool N/a
- mondy (10/5): - It was peaceful Nothing
- Zithobile (10/5): -
- Nhlakanipho (8/5): - The friendly staff, as well as the property's location. We arrived at the property (having booked 2 places) and both the fridges were not working. There is a black, light skinned lady who insisted that the fridges were too full, hence them not working. We explained that when we got there, before we even used the fridge, they were not working. Eventually one was replaced, but the following day (Wednesday), the other was replaced as well.
I also didn't like that the bedding wasn't changed. We were there for a whole week, it was so hot! The bedding needed to be changed. This is not hygienic.
- Mohamed (7/5): - Spacious Washing line broken
Oven very dirty
Fridge had broken shelves
Bathroom had cupboards that were damaged
- Sibahle (9/5): Superb - It was central and had everything we needed The TV in the main bedroom wasn't working

- Mbali (10/5): - Beautiful place and friendly staff. We had a great weekend with my colleagues đ
- Shange (9/5): -
- Solethu (10/5): -
- Johan (8/5): -
- Nicola (8/5): - Great location in St Lucia, lovely apartments.
- Holger (5/5): We will not book here again. - Parking spaces are available for every room in the complex. On the last day for check-out, there was no water and no electricity.
The lady at reception was very overwhelmed.
The internet is a disaster and very complicated to join.
The rooms are located next to the street and the restaurant, making them very noisy and preventing sleep until after midnight.
It's also very noisy due to the buses and generator from the Elephant Lake hotel.
The bed is very small for a couple to sleep in.
The beach should absolutely be avoided on holidays or during peak season and it is overrun by the local population and very littered.
- Mdlalose (8/5): - Location , it is was easy to find it Brown water from the bath tab
- Claire (4/5): Câest un motel Ă Ă©tage avec logement vieux et sale - La proximitĂ© par rapport au centre ville mais pas super sĂ©curisĂ©. Le fait que le parking est dans lâenceinte de la propriĂ©tĂ© avec tĂ©lĂ©commande. On nous a dâabord donnĂ© un logement Ă lâĂ©tage avec un tout petit balcon et qui nâĂ©tait pas reprĂ©sentatif des photos. Nous avons demandĂ© dâĂ©changer avec une au rez-de-chaussĂ©e. La chambre Ă©tait sale. Quand nous avons demandĂ© de la nettoyer, ils ont dit quâils allaient venir, ils ne sont pas venus comme convenu, et on dit que câĂ©tait parce que nous nâĂ©tions pas dans la chambre alors que nous nâavons pas eu de prĂ©cision. La salle de jeux pour enfants est dans une piĂšce sans fenĂȘtre et lugubre pas comme les photos et la piscine est Ă lâarriĂšre Ă cĂŽtĂ© dâune resto. Soit câest un motel.

- Vermell (8/5): - Neli at reception was so welcoming and extremely helpful. The property was perfectly situated and walking distance to everything on "The strip". Our teenage boys enjoyed the jacuzzi and the swimming pool. We got to see a hippo walk past on our first evening. the boys also enjoyed the pool table in the games room. Parking was adequate. As noted on previous reviews that I had read before booking, the apartments need cosmetic renovation. The shower did not drain properly (we actually had an incident in our bathroom and had to move rooms). We could not access the wifi on our iPhones.
- Londeka (10/5): Lovely lovely stay!!! Definitely coming back! - The property is situated in the centre, close to shops and facilities. Oh! Lovely staff, the Ladies at the reception gave us a warm welcome and ensured we had a beautiful stay. My family and I really enjoyed and we are definitely coming back! Nothing!

- veronica (7/5): - The place is walking distance to everything...very safe and neat. There was alot of noise from other guests. Alot of tour groups were there and they up till late playing loud music.
- Molly (9/5): - Staff are amazing. Nothing.
- Silvy (4/5): - Dated old furniture. Uncomfortable lounge. Cushions worse for wear. Fridge seals were broken. Cupboards in kitchen did not close. The doors to the rooms and bathroom were stuck and could not close. Lounge light had no cover. Quite dangerous as fan was spinning. Kitchen tap was leaking and bath tap was loose.
The maintenance is badly needed as is a complete overhaul of the apartment I would give this apartment a 3.5
- Hattingh (10/5): Excellent - Everything Most friendly staff
- Sikhulile (10/5): -
- David (2/5): - Central location. The booking dot com description of the unit was much more upmarket than we actually got. It was like a day travellers room. Not at all value for money. We we disappointed.
