Great service. The reception desk must have seen how exhausted we were from traveling all day. They upgraded and changed our room to one at the front of the hotel. It was a larger room and less distance to walk to.

DONT PAY FOR FAMILY ROOM
I paid 1860 ZAR per night to have a family room on hotels.com which is supposed to be 2 connected rooms, while what I got is 1 room, with a partition and 2 single beds... my friend paid only 1150 ZAR on Agoda and he got the same room!!!!!!I talked to the hotel and explained to them that this is not fair, they claimed that they upgraded my friends room.. they are liars, they lied 3 times by telling me that the manager is not here.. at the end I realized that all of their rooms are the same.. you will get 2 single beds anyway, my advise to all not to pay extra for family rooms, you will have the family room by default.

Great Weekend Getaway!!
My family and I had a great stay. The check in was quick and easy and the room was clean and spacious. The first night we had the dinner buffet it was ok but I wouldn’t do the dinner buffet again. Breakfast was included and was also a buffet we did however enjoy the breakfast. The staff were all nice and accommodating. I would have no problem staying here again we really enjoyed our weekend.
