Eric the property manager was attentive and flexible. Always available to help out. The King Suite view was amazing, sunrise and sunset views are priceless, easily reach two private beaches with relative walking ease (ideal for that early morning stroll)
This hotel has NO AC…please be mindful when booking as we booked assuming there was A/C paid and upon check-in we were told there was no A/C. It was extremely hot and unfortunately had to check out a night early with no-refund. The property is breathtaking and the staff and super hospitable…but unfortunately we could not enjoy due to the massive heat. Also the walk to the beach is very dangerous and slippery if you are alone. Be careful!
Super nett mit tollem Abendessen in gigantischer Lage

Personalen var fantastisk! De gjorde allt för att vi skulle trivas o ha det bra! Magisk utsikt ner på havet. Fint, rent o fräsch, härliga gemensamma ytor att vara på, fin uteplats/veranda med en liten pool att svalka sig i. Trevlig o god frukost, fin frukt! God middag som gick att köpa till kvällen, lagom till solnedgången! Vin och dryck i kombination med mat finns förbättringspotential. Inte så mycket ställen att promenera till, men fungerar enkelt att ta sig med Uber om man inte har egen bil.

Grote kamer vriendelijke bediening beetje gedateerd meubilair beetje oud tuinmeubilair echt aan vervanging toe en in het algemeen beetje uit prijs verhouding. Het ontbijt is erg beperkt en we zijn er rondreis aan het maken in Zuid Zuid-Afrika. Alle hotels alle extra’s alle extra’s warm koud alles inclusief hier moet je betalen. Helaas niet voor Haling vatbaar.
