Disappointing
Tried to eat at the restaurants Indian shut Pizza empty a lady carte only 3 choices. The cost of club hire astronomical only 50 rand cheaper than a so I d of golf buggy and halfway house !! The clubs were poor incomplete and filthy and the buggy ran out after 9 holes. Should have been checked before. The course had workers on every hole ,some tees not in use most of the bunker out of commission. We should at least have had a reduction of th green fee. The room good but no bin so where do you put tea bags etc. The bin in the wc no inner so everything goes straight on the floor ! The whole place looks as if it's running down or out of money. Nothing in pro shop not even ball markers just socks size 12 ! Sadly not a legend for us. Next night ate at a lovely restaurant just up the road.

Good day Deborah, Thank you for reviewing your time at Legend Golf & Safari Resort. We strive to create a truly legendary experience for all our guests and apologize that this was not the case for you. Your concerns regarding the golf clubs, cart and halfway house have been passed onto senior management and our golf pro on site. We sincerely apologize about this as this is definitively not our standard nor how we want to be remembered. Your comment regarding the bin has been passed onto management and our house keeping, this is very concerning as all rooms are checked before check in of a guest. Your comment regarding the stock at the pro shop is also very concerning as our gold pro has assured us we have stock of all items, not only socks. We do apologise that your stay was marred and we do hope to welcome you back in the future to experience all that legends has to offer.

Disappointing
We cannot fault the resort for its golf. However I would not recommend it for families. The hotel expect .the children to share your bed. I did ask for a seperate.bed to be brought to what I believe is a very small room but that fell on deaf ears.Virtually all alledeged activities for children were not available.and the food options for them were very poor.

Cheap, Lots of family activities & bad service.
1. Excellent setting and activity packages for whole family. 2. Terrible service at clubhouse with very limited hot breakfast and short-staffed. However Friendly, very helpful Manager. 3. Horrible dimly-lit stuffy gym, old limited machines, no stretching mats and leaking shower heads in the change rooms. 4. Well priced for a 4*Star but feels less than a 4*Star. 5. Needs more signage for easy navigation around the estate 6. Strong Wi-if where I was although others lodges struggled with connections. 7. Limited alcoholic bevarages if you not a fan of normal local beers. 8. Very very comfortable beds and spacious rooms with air con and mordern TV. 9. Friendly front reception as you check in and out.

Conflicted
I feel quite conflicted about our stay at the resort. It was a mixture of both good and bad. We really tried to enjoy ourselves and ignore small imperfections, but things continued going wrong for us. In our room alone we experienced a broken sliding door, broken window handle, dirty coffee cups (both), and smelly towels. Outside of the room were things like being told we could order off the menu, but after ordering being told the kitchen is too busy we should eat buffet - a complete waste with children. I started feeling bad about being perceived as a problematic guest with my complaints, so just tried to ignore some things. The resort can be amazing, but there are a lot of little things that need to change. Management really appear to do their best and were always accomdating, but there seems to be a split in terms of staff demeanor.

A lot of potential but seems like a fading star..
Apart from a very friendly security guard, the service was probably the worst I've ever experienced. Reception staff need some serious training in customer care. A very poor show of hospitality all round. We did not fret to much as we enjoyed the surroundings. Golf was also a disappointment as there were four T boxes we could not reach as there was irrigation all around us. We had to drive into the fairway and drop the ball to start play..?? I eventually asked the ground staff who switched off when we got to the fifth T box. Their "signature" restaurant was closed on the Saturday. Again would not have minded this if we were told before hand. We had no braai grid - when we asked we were told to go and take one from the other chalets..we did find that very funny and bizarre. Anyways, good luck is all I can say!

Perfect location for a safari adventure
This hotel has all you need for an amazing safari adventure. The rooms are clean and have everything you need (comfy beds, spacious bathroom with great shower, etc). The staff is very nice and accommodating. You are in Africa, so no one rushes to get things done, but if you can relax into that you will have an amazing stay. The food at the hotel is very good. The safari is the best part obviously - it is an amazing experience! I would go back to the Legend and recommend it to friends.

No value for money.
The resort is overly rated and does not deserve the current star rating. Our stay was a disappointment due to many facilities not functioning. In the four days we stayed, the boma was closed, the tea garden was closed, no water sports as advertised, no star gazing as advertised, the legend field is in very bad condition, animal waste all over the basket ball court. Expect to see cockroaches everywhere, on numerous occasions we have had to ask staff at the restaurant to clean the tables. Only certain parts of the resort are well kept even the much publicized golf course is not well kept. Getting around within the resort is a mission some sign posts are incorrect. The buffet menu was only available for breakfast lunch and dinner was alarcate with overpriced menus. The main swimming pool is just a let down for a lack of better words. The resort lacks class and personality and hence I would rate it a 2 star.

Good Day Anonymous, Thank you for your review. We apologise for the breakdown in service delivery during your time at the resort and can assure you that this is not the standard we hold ourselves to. The training of the staff is also a number one priority for Legend in 2017 and we believe that with the training programs in place for the upcoming months we will see a significant change. We do hope however that this will not deter you from returning to our resort in the not too distant future.

We booked a king size bed and got 2 single beds pushed together that shifted away from each other as soon as you move on the bed. We wanted to do a braai but was told it was not allowed and if we want to use the boma we have to arrange it with the manager. We think that if they have facilities at the chalets to braai there will be more people visiting the facilities. We don't think that you want to eat in a restaurant each and every meal. Some of the activities was also very expensive and as much as you want to do them, you need to work out what you can do and what not, as the prices is just so that you can't do everything.
God Day Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate all your feedback and have passed your comments about the braaing facilities and beds to management. We are however, heartened to read you enjoyed your overall stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the not too distant future.

My guests, Nicholas and Lisa Wagner, were extremely disappointed with their stay. - Following my conversation with Reservations advising that the couple were celebrating their anniversary, they were allocated a twin room. These details were also included on the initial booking. - The HK staff member 'deposited' their gowns in the room in a black bag! - After their spa treatment they were unable to shower as there was no water. Furthermore the spa bath water was ice cold. They had to bathe in the same cold water to remove the body scrub! - I spoke to Jordan on Saturday evening re the room allocation and he did attempt to remedy things considering the room allocation. On Sunday evening dinner was set up on the roof of the Clubhouse; very romantic, but absolutely freezing, windy and unpleasant. - The food from the initial meal at lunch on the Saturday in the Clubhouse to every other meal was awful. Nicholas commented that he could not understand that a burger could be messed up and when Lisa opted for vegetarian dish on the Sunday evening, it was inedible. Unfortunately what was intended to be a special anniversary breakaway was spoilt by poor service, low standard of food and lack of attention to detail. As I made their reservation and being in the hospitality industry, this is a huge embarrassment to me. Kind regards Linda

Good Day Linda, Thank you for your patience whilst we investigated this matter. From the offset may be apologise for the breakdown in communication which lead to a less than satisfactory stay with us at Legend Golf & Safari Resort. The lack of attention to detail and failure to act on instruction has been dealt with onsite and corrective action taken against the staff members in question. We completely understand your frustration as the weekend booked did not begin according to plan, however we understand from our team that since the matter came to light your guests have been well looked after. Whilst we understand that this is not how you had envisioned their time with us, we do hope they leave us with good memories from the rest of their visit. Once again our apologies for this breakdown in service delivery.

hotel is okay, but too expensive for what it offer
This hotel is made on a very particular layout. For example if you want to have breakfast, you need to take your car, go through a security gate, drive on a dusty track for 1 kilometer before you eventually reach the facility. However the panorama found there is outstanding. Another important thing, the hotel is not finished yet ! Lots of places are under construction, or unfinished... Unless you only play golf during your stay there, I wouldn't recommend it, it is really too expensive for what it is.

Service
The facilities are amazing, however the hotel service is something. After requesting for a transfer to go eat breakfast, we had to wait more than an hour despite phoning every 15 minutes. Eventually we drove ourselves and no one bothered to apoligise. The other thing that's not impressive is the restuarant, although the food is fresh, however the cutlery looks likes it's been used for over centuries. The cleaning of the room also leaves one ensuring before using them you have to wash them.

Disappointing visit to hotel with good reputation!
Poor value indeed. Management very disinterested. Did not try to engage with us at all, so we did not even know what was available except golf and game drive. Played golf on Legend, charged full fees despite just being cored. Golf Pro did not even speak with us despite very few people around. Getting information out of game driver was like pulling teeth (did see lions, giraffe and elephants though). And don't get us started on the food. We were driven to 3 different locations and it ranged from dreadful to OK. When asked by waiters how things are, it is always easier to say good when it is the opposite. It is not their fault. No bar or coffee shop or gym......staff did not know how to fill mini bar. Golf club out of stock of wine, food listed on menu, even ball markers.

Toller Aufenthalt, das Hotel war längst nicht voll. Beide Golfplätze konnten praktisch jederzeit problemlos bespielt werden und sind beide in einem sehr guten Zustand. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die einzige Kritik betrifft den Helikopterflug zu, 19. Abschlag auf dem Berg. Man konnte beim besten Willen nicht herausfinden wann der genau fliegt und ob man Platz hat. Die ganze Anlage ist etwas abgelegen und man sollte mindestens 3 Nächte bleiben. Für Golfspieler extrem reizvoll.
