Spectacular place ruined by Cold/White lighting
Pros:

Beautiful buildings in beautiful gardens with fabulous decor. Such a relief from the depressing modern white and beige soulless boxes we’ve suffered for years!

Cons:

Only let down by the beautiful gardens being awash with disappointing cold/white lights and illuminations, which warm lights would transform.

Other minor niggles were difference between designer images and actual ‘executive’ room, which was plain and awash with cold/white light; lack of vegan options; and being forced to return the TV remote to reception!

For the price - extremely happy we found this place 👌🏼 it fit in well with our adventure.
Pros:

It has taken years for the gardens to develop and grow so beautifully. It is so peaceful. We loved the ginger cat 🐈 that came to visit. The massage was impressive. There so many nooks and crannies to find a spot if you want privacy. It’s like you’re Alice in wonderland. Enjoyed the game of putt-putt. The art and decor is unique and sucks you in. It doubles up as a museum. Loved beating the African drums 🪘 as we entered.

Cons:

The coffee from the coffee pot was terrible. And I mean un-drinkable.
The ponds have been needing algae treatment for a very long time. You lucky if one of the gold fish come to the surface - otherwise you can’t see anything other than dark green water.

I absolutely loved the location, but if the staff can not keep coming to check on us that was very irritating, and the r
Pros:

The location is beautiful and peaceful

Cons:

There was a very bad smell outside not sure what it was. The staff also keep on coming to knock on the door, and we booked the stay to try and relax and sleep so that was not very nice . We ordered food at 17:35 and the food was delivered to our room after 19:00 and there was no communication in between that there will be a delay or anything.
