    10BrianPosted on: 4-9-2025

    This is a delightful hotel with bedrooms overlooking the Lagoon and ground floor rooms with access to outside deck with views of the Lagoon. The bathroom was spacious with plenty of shelves & hooks to place your own toiletries. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is situated a short distance from the waterfront with busy bars and restaurants.

    10OlgaPosted on: 3-12-2025

    Good hotel, at a perfect location, very friendly and helpful staff, all very clean, thank you!

    8BernardPosted on: 3-10-2025

    Front desk managers very helpfull. Nice sea views from all rooms. Good breakfast buffet.

    Restaurant manager not willing to smile or to answer if you said good morning… Wondering if she is underpaid compared to her nice colleagues.

    4EmilPosted on: 2-20-2025

    Disappointing

    The hotel was poorly maintained. The shower leaking all over the bathroom floor. The walls were very thin. So you could easily hear the neighbor.

    9HelgaardPosted on: 2-6-2025

    Great location close to pubs and restaurants. Very clean and helpful staff. Close to airport

    1AntonPosted on: 1-24-2025

    The water pressure in the shower

    Room 111. Mould and peeling paint in the bathroom. Rotting door frame. Litter outside the room and generally a filthy place

    9KwasiPosted on: 1-16-2025

    It was a standard hotel. Nothing bad about the property and had an amazing view with the palm trees. It’s also close to a lot of entertainment and restaurants

    Could do with an upgrade. Tv was quite old, doors were hard to lock and shower is a bit outdated

    4MurielPosted on: 1-15-2025

    The location of the property is not that bad even though there’s not much happening there

    The property is old it needs a serious revamping,Hygiene is compromised, I didn’t like the room set up a door in between rooms no privacy, there were kids there making a lot of noise ,I am a fan of Protea hotels it was the first time I come across a dirty facility like that,the towels I couldn’t use them they are cream white ,house keeping needs training,they join two single beds but not aligned properly I did not sleep well at all.

    8KefentsePosted on: 1-12-2025

    The breakfast was good. location is perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    A pool facility would be nice. The shower spills a lot of water on the floor. The coffee served in the rooms could be better

    9MmakgethoPosted on: 1-12-2025

    Great location, friendly restaurant staff, the receptionist were helpful could be better. Excellent housekeeping - I left R300 tip, please make sure they receive their tip. Again restaurant staff were 5 star

    Reception should keep same attitude even if you don’t use their people for sight seeing.

    The View

    the cleanliness standards were unacceptable. When we arrived, the room we were assigned was dirty, and the bathroom had a strong smell of urine. At breakfast, the area where we were seated was dirty, with stained carpets and chairs.

    6JohannesPosted on: 1-8-2025

    The location is good

    The facilities are poor and not well maintained. One would say perhaps it deteriorating. The towels are too old, hard and dry. Our bathroom had a leak they couldn’t fix. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. The quality and variety could be improved. The WiFi was poor, inadequate tv channels. You should consider upgrading to smart TVs and perhaps invest in a swimming pool.

    4BERELPosted on: 1-4-2025

    Good location for WB. Great view on the Pelican Bay.

    Staff with low energy.

    8TangeniPosted on: 1-2-2025

    The food & location were great.

    Property needs a revamp. Carpets in rooms need to be replaced.

    5DynahPosted on: 1-1-2025

    Chefs too few at breakfast. Overwhelmed especially at eggs station. My aircon did not work and the problem wad not resolved for the full 3 days i was there.

    Staff responsiveness can be improved. All rooms were twin yet i had specifief that 1 room should have a double or quee bed. Was only converted after i requested.
