Client Rating for South Africa 5/5 from 74 reviews

great hotel and location. loved the rooms overlooking the sea. The main restaurant , however was average and the service was poor. Whereas he service in the bar and the bistro was very good. only disappointing aspect, is that I left all my camera chargers and leads in the room, in a large bag.I rang the next day..got a very poor response from the reception, said they'd ring me back but I had to ring only to be to be told they were not found. I was very surprised to hear this.
