The Dinner in the Restaurant was very enjoyable.
The suite were not freshly cleaned, the floors were very dirty. I had to ask for a dishcloth for instance.
Location was great
Furniture is very old Bathroom has no breath at all and always feels dampness
Clean and characterfulLovely staffYummy breakfastComfortable
Very clean well appointed and equipped rooms with great views. Lovely bar and restaurant. Great food and drinks. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good central location. Nice vibe overall.
Pool on the small side and not heated. However lovely beach not far away. Gym didn’t have much equipment but was adequate for our needs
The location
The room smelled bad at all time. Smell from the bathroom. The floor was dirty. The food in the restaurant was really lit fresh seas food. The hotel was also under renovation. Very not confortable at all
The location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Complimentary glass of apple juice on arrival and biscuits late evening were a nice touch.
We could not get enough hot water for a decent shower. Only lukewarm. This was disappointing for a 2K per night stay.
Think if you go to early breakfast hot food rewarmed not fresh cooked unlike other protea hotels Bread not that fr Reception staff wonderful so helpful
?
The location
The room was not maintained. The soap was empty, the remote was not working, the basin did not drain and the cleaning was not proper
Great facilities and perfect location for shark boat
Poor beer on tap
Pretty and tasteful decor. Good mix of facilities.
Unfriendly received at reception, booked a sea view room but got a view of a wall and mess. No hot water to shower, no bath, no cold drinking water just refilled water which was too hot to drink and too big to refrigerate. No gown or slippers. No biscuit with the coffee or tea facility. We paid a premium rate at a 4 star hotel which excluded breakfast and most of the important little things for comfort.
The staff were very helpful ,friendly and professional.
We had a wonderful stay and Daniesha at reception made us feel so welcome. All the staff were friendly.Our room had a balcony which overlook the harbour as well as the ocean. The sunsets were amazing from the balcony.There are a lot of coffee shops as well as a Checkers in walking distance from the hotel.There is also a lovely restaurant on the hotel grounds called The Gannet. It is very popular and always busy. We had some lovely meals there.
The pillows were too soft for me.
Fantastic chic, friendly staff, great food, wonderful location ample parking
Wonderful staff very friendly and welcoming always greeting you with a smile and happy to talk
Large room, very clean. Great breakfast, nice bar.
No secure parking. Restaurant on pricy side
Ideally located Onsite restaurant and bar serving nice food and great cocktails The staff were very courteous ?
Not that I didn't like it but the pool was rather small for the size of the hotel
Very clean property and the restaurant was outstanding, staff were helpful and friendly
Rooms were a little small
