Resorts in South Africa

"Most of the staff were very helpful and friendly (one guy at the desk was very rude). Nice pool. Nice stretch of water to swim in, with a pebble/sand area near the ocean entrance. Comfortable room (except they cut the power to air conditioning when you leave the room)."

The drinks, especially the wine was very disappointing. I guess I should plan on paying extra for higher quality. Real coffee (not instant) would be a nice alternative. Thanks.

"The property is located in a beautiful bluff overlooking the ocean. Great views of the coastline with well-appointed rooms. Service is good overall."

Restaurant service could be timely improved

"We absolutely loved our time here! The property is beautiful cared for and it’s clear the owners are invested in their guests and their enjoyment of the place. Great pool area and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was REALLY nice!!! Greeted with a welcome drink on arrival (whatever we all wanted). The staff were all so friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend this property!"

There is nothing, really. It’s a great place to stay. The only little thing would be the lack of clothes washing facilities, but we knew that before arriving and they gave some suggestions of where we could go.

"The room and facilities. The warm welcoming of the crew. The location. The band was amazing on friday night too."

Nothing really.

"Great atmosphere! Well preserved. Excellent staff! Breakfast was great!"

I didn't like the standard room but it was changed to a deluxe room for a small fee.

"Mostly everything but there are small things like the humidity on the walls"

It needs some improvements specially maintenance wise

"Great value for the money. The hotel is completely renovated with super nice rooms and facilities. Please ignore previous comments about not being completed. The entire area is beautiful. We had the pleasure to visit multiple restaurants and all of them had great food. Recommend to book them already the first night to make sure that you have a spot. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Our room was always clean and filled up with water, drinks and snacks. Pools and beach is great with plenty of options for everyone."

The only negative aspect is that a big portion of the staff doesn’t speak English, so sometimes it can be a bit tricky to communicate, but it is always sorted out somehow. The resort is huge(you have access to all other hotels under the palladium umbrella), sometimes it can be a bit tricky to navigate. You can take out how many towels you want, so people tend to book up a lot of spots without really using them. When arriving later to the beach, it was usually difficult to find something. Recommendation would be to limit the number of towels a room can take out.

"Amazing stuff , specially Hicham and great location"

"The attention to detail from the staff, how they make you feel well, and the installations are just fabulous!"

"Location being beach front. Staff was very friendly and costumer service very kind. Front desk very helpful! Didn’t stay long enough to see a show, maybe next time. Great place for families and couples!!"

The complex is getting old! I travels here about 25 years ago, and it seems that somethings stayed in the past! We stayed in room 324 with great internet!!! Bathroom needs work, but not a reason not to stay here. The food in general was good. Pool areas clean and staff always around. The clients as in other resorts, have this thing about keeping the chairs/sunbeds all day to themselves (shame on them) !!!

"The staff were wonderful, the views were amazing, and the rooms were comfortable and clean."

"Michael the doorman was very friendly and informative. He gave us plenty of information on the surrounding wildlife. The location was close to Fota wildlife park which was well worth a visit. There was a good selection for breakfast with a continental buffet and hot food from the menu. Lunch and dinner were also top notch. Swimming pool and Jacuzzi were nice and quiet during the evening."

"It is an amazing place. The best experience I ever had"

All was good

"Das Zimmer war überraschend groß und modern eingerichtet – man merkt sofort, dass alles neu ist. Besonders schön: die tolle Ausstattung mit Espresso-Maschine und kostenlosem Kaffee. Auch das Bad war sehr geräumig und hochwertig gestaltet. Über die Terrasse mit eigenem Strandkorb hatte man einen wunderbaren Blick Richtung Bodden – perfekt, um abends den Tag ausklingen zu lassen"

Das Zimmer ließ sich trotz der Verdunkelungsmöglichkeiten nur bedingt abdunkeln, da durch die Milchglastür früh Tageslicht hereinkam. Bei der Ankunft war es zudem recht staubig, was etwas den ersten Eindruck trübte. Außerdem war der Kaffeeweißer aufgrund der hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit auf der Insel hart geworden.

"Las instalaciones son super lindas y el hotel de ensueño"

"The location is perfect. The lake, the view, the village, thd island and the atmosphere are alk outstanding. Friendly and helpfull staff. True peace and relaxation."

The foir when arriving 35 min before closing time. Most was gone.

"The location is pristine!!! Isolated island with no villages, stores etc. The water is so blue and you have a chance to swim with whales"

A bit pricey, especially the meals.

"Stunning beach, fantastic staff. Enjoyed our stay very much!"

Aucun.

"The views, the food (in comparison to other all inclusive options, the food at the buffet, pool bar and Asian restaurant were great), the beach, variety of alcoholic drinks and the speed of the service. Specially, Panos the bar man was super nice and hospitable, and made great drinks!"

The towel situation (two per room), size of pool and amount of seating which wasn’t enough (this isn’t in regard to the cool living exclusive pool which we could not access and was much nicer) - and generally, seating - during the day the rooftop bar is not open, so can’t sit there. Size of the room we had was kind of small, our shower needed maintenance because the doors wouldn’t seal shut so water would pour out. Staff-wise, some staff members weren’t very hospitable, some of the bartenders and front desk.

"Quiet clean over 50 age crowd They take great pride in making sure you have a perfect holiday. Staff is amazing"

Bed to soft they did put a harder topper on

"The location was wonderful! I loved the hot pot on site and the sauna! The proximity to so many water falls and Laugarfell was great! We enjoyed the cute museum on site and appreciated the 50% discount! The staff was incredibly helpful. We forgot a suitcase and they quickly realized our mistake and called us before we had been gone more than a few minutes. It was a quick turnaround to be reunited with our belongings! So kind and thoughtful!"

"The view from the restaurant is beautiful and the whole place is so beautiful and peaceful. The linen was top notch. Breakfast was also very good. Me and my family loved it."

The glasses weren't clean.

"My stay was an exquisitely distinguished and memorable experience—truly worthy of being staged in a high-end film or luxury music-video production. I must also highlight the exceptionally gracious hospitality of Windward investor Mr. Andreas Kisslinger, who hosted a sumptuous birthday celebration for me at their exquisite on-premises restaurant."

Nothing

"Ubicación excelente, el personal muy amable. Las habitaciones muy cómodas. El personal es realmente muy amable y sabe tratar muy bien al huésped"

En el gimnasio no funcionaban las maquinas. La habitación está bien es limpia y cómoda pero se podría actualizar un poco la decoración. Por ser un resort en el precio podría estar incluido el desayuno

"My wife and I waited 15 years to go to the jade Mountain on St. Lucia. Who knew I would like windjammer much better. The rooms were fantastic, but Marcus and Bridget made everything worthwhile. I would stay here again 100 times before I stated any other hotel on island."

Lots of stairs on the side of a mountain

"The hotel reception provided early check-in to the best of their ability. Many breakfast options, including local Chinese, in abundance, and some international cuisine. Beautiful beachfront location, though somewhat overrun with street vendors, though the hotel has no control over this, the beaches are public-access. Convenient location within walking distance of local town center with shops, dining and souvenirs."

The room we booked was misrepresented on Booking.com as having a 'wonderful sea view' when in fact it turned out that this applied to the hotel in general, while our room had garden view. No animation team - beach volley, archery etc. - whatsoever.

"this place is heaven. the beachfront cabin we had was so close to the beach. the bay is so quiet clam and serene. there is a coral reef a short walk from the lodge. we snorkelled with turtles! this place is so relaxing and wonderful. would recommend!!!"

more variation in the food on offer would have been nice

"Great staff, great rooms. Dodgy Dock was a very good bar restaurant. Local cats very friendly."

Our only complaint was that we were the furthest room from the front desk. Other than that we were very happy with it.

"They were extremely kind and a member of staff even bought a bracelet for our daughter"

"Las piscinas.las tinajas,el lugar muy lindo Aunq sería bueno q cuando uno llegue al hotel le entregarán un folleto q tanto tienes derecho en el hotel y q tanto hay para disfrutar Es muy grande y uno no conoce todo"

La cama se movía se movía mucho y se corría del lugar muy incómodo de verdad El tv nunca funcionó Llamamos a recepción y nunca contestaron Mucha gente en recepción ala hora de la entrada

"The rooms are large and comfortable. The grounds are very well kept, and the pool area is wonderful. This was my third time at this property in ten years. The service was excellent."

The hotel organizes events on the grounds that go until midnight. The first night we were there, it was very loud and the noise was right in our room. The third night, there was another one. It takes away from the calm of the property to host these types of events, even on weeknights. This fact makes me reconsider staying here again because it spoils having a quiet evening in the room or hotel.

"Pros- value of stay is worth it. Very nice scenery feels kinda like a forest/jungle and a staying in a cabin. -nice big pool and chairs to lounge on around pool. -good breakfast eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, yogurt. Order the food freshly made. And cookie/muffin (wish it had more options like pancakes/waffles) -The rooms very clean and spacious, great tv lots of channels. -Supper/restaurant is good has a good amount of options(little pricy tho, room delivery for a few) -Beds comfy(but it’s 2 beds put together as one and so you can’t lay in middle. As you feel the separated beds) Kind staff"

Cons- The hot water last about 1min in the bathtub. Maybe 5mins in the shower. -Wifi didn’t work at all (connected but didn’t load nothing) -Not soundproof can hear people walking past. -The beds is not 1 bed it’s 2 beds put together and you can definitely feel the separated part in middle.

"The hotel is very nice, located right next to Petra’s main entrance. Based on the staff’s recommendation, we took a taxi (there is also a shuttle) to the other side of the park and walked from the end to the beginning. It was probably better than walking the whole long route twice 🙂"

"Wonderful staff. Always very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful open air lobby/atria so one can enjoy the cool breeze."

"Spacious room with great balcony view. Amazing pools. Lots of activities for kids"

We had a great time enjoying all it has to offer but The mini golf needs maintenance.
