10/10 Exceptional

It felt nice to wind down after a 37 days Safari in 5 other countries. Good location close the harbour, good breakfast. And at the harbor they had som very good seafood restaurants - specifically the Harbor House :-)
Johann, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful location and great staff. Especially Ricardo did extra effort to make sure we get a great experience. The hotel is close to the waterfront which is a main advantage. While the rooms could be slightly enhanced. Also, why ask about the arrival time if none of the rooms will be ready at that time?!

We had a shaky start to our vacation due to missing luggage, a very late check-in, and the rooms we booked not being available. However, Ricardo and Alan went above and beyond to make sure our luggage was picked up and we had great rooms! Love them! Would definitely stay here again!
Cathy, 3-night trip

We picked this hotel due to location to the Waterfront - it was a good choice just 5 mins walk from the Waterfront. Hotel breakfast was good - staff professional. Rooms a bit tired and could do with a refurb.
