Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning rooms with endless views across the veld into the distance and provides a very nice and private ambiance with warm flickering light. The service goes above and beyond, making guests feel like royalty with special treats and personalized gestures. The location is superb, right on the beach, offering wonderful views of the colorful nature reserve and top-class dining options. The dining experience is particularly delicious, and the facilities are top-notch.
The hotel offers comfortable and luxurious rooms with a modern touch and a private terrace, though cleanliness could be improved. The service staff are attentive and friendly, providing a satisfactory experience. The location is serene, surrounded by nature, beautiful beaches, and a top-class restaurant, yet lacking privacy screening for certain areas. The dining experience is exceptional with a great variety of delicious options. Overall, a mixed but enjoyable stay.
I couldn't have asked for a better location right by the beach and with endless views into the distance. The rooms were very comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay special. However, the dining experience fell a bit short of expectations. The price was reasonable considering the prime beachfront location.
