Fantastisch
Pros:

Prachtig hotel en wat een ontvangst! Je bent er zo welkom!
Het hotel is volledig geïntegreerd in de natuur en ligt bij de ingang Paul Kruger gate! Alles wordt zo geregeld voor jou! Enorm vriendelijke staff waarbij ze de bevolking werk geven! De sfeer elke avond bij het avondeten is onbeschrijfelijk! Het is genieten van de pure Africaanse cultuur! Het zwembad geeft uitzicht op de sabie rivier waardoor je zo laar olifanten ziet voorbij kolen terwijl je aan het zwembad ligt!
Wij hadden helaas geen goed weer..maar daae kan natuurlijk het hotel niets aan doen… de periode maart is het duidelijk dat het weer echt heel wisselvallig is….

Cons:

Niets..enkel het weer en de vele regen

Ideales Hotel für den Besuch im Kruger Nationalpark!
Pros:

Die perfekte Lage zum Skukuza Airport (17km).
Die kurze Entfernung vom Hotelgelände zum Paul Kruger Gate; nur die Brücke vom Sabie River überqueren (1,5km).
Das unglaublich freundliche und immer hilfsbereite Personal!!
Die schön eingepasste Hotelanlage in die Vegetation und das Gelände direkt am Ufer des Sabie River.
Das außergewöhnlich gute und vielseitige Essen!
Die tollen, vom Hotel angebotenen, Safaris.
Einfach Alles ohne Ausnahme!!

Cons:

Nichts…

Pros:

Schöne an die Umwelt angepasste Bauweise und Innendekoration
Essen war sehr gut. Grosse Auswahl am Buffet.

Cons:

Das Trinkwasser in Flaschen war zu stark gechlor. Sehr unangenehm und einem Hotel in dieser Kategorie und Preislage nicht würdig. Wir waren 4.5 Wochen in Südafrika und haben in 20 Hotels übernachtet. Überall bekamen wir Wasser aus gekauften Flaschen und nicht selber abgefüllten. Dies war auch in viel günstigeren Lodges der Fall.

Perfect hotel for Kruger visits and relax time.
Pros:

Nice and relaxed , even if it is a big hotel never had the "holiday factory" feeling. Lots of animal sighting from the pool area. Perfect combination of relaxed holiday and Kruger Park visits. Breakfast and diner are amazing with good food and so many choices!

Lugar extraordinário.
Pros:

Funcionários muito educados, muito receptivos e preocupados em auxiliar.
A área da piscina com a vista aos bichinho é algo fora da realidade.
Tinham bichinhos pela acomodação soltos ( maravilhoso)
O quarto era bem limpo, amplo. Banheiro tbm. Os cosméticos muito bons.
Café da manhã bem gostoso, mas precisam de exaustores.
Adorei os safáris.

Cons:

A área do café precisa de exaustor ou ventilação dentro. , se tomar café da manhã tem que tomar banho depois porque eles comem muitas carnes com cheiros fortes já de manhã cedo.

Pegamos todas as refeições no local entretanto não conseguimos jantar nem almoçar direito porque o gosto das carnes era muito forte ou a comida tinha muito tempero.

Excelente custo benefício comparado aos lodges dentro do Kruger
Pros:

Localização excelente com vista para o Kruger Park. Chegamos no hotel por volta das 14h e no mesmo dia já observamos alguns animais direto da piscina do hotel como búfalo, hipopótamo, babuíno.
O quarto que ficamos era excelente, bastante amplo e com instalações modernas. Sugerimos se hospedar nesses quartos. O atendimento dos funcionários também é um diferencial, aqui fomos muito bem recebidos.

Cons:

O buffet de entradas e sobremesas no jantar era excelente. No entanto os pratos principais deveriam ter mais opções sem pimenta e temperos fortes. Mas nada que atrapalhou a nossa hospedagem.
Outra sugestão seria aquecer a piscina que mesmo no verão a água estava um gelo.
