Excellent!
Pros:

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The staff are a real credit to the property, so friendly and professional. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained, and the underfloor heating was such a cozy, thoughtful touch. We also loved the beautiful surroundings and the breakfast was excellent.

Great views
Pros:

Great location
Breakfast great choice and staff very attentive
TC who was maintenance also seemed to be covering house keeping and was very professional.
Macdonald in Sansibar made our stay what it should be for the price and level of hotel… many of the other staff can learn from him

Cons:

Reception staff on check in not very customer focused. Waited over 15 mins for second key cut. Told pool closed and another member of staff that came in said it was open. Asked for conditioner and was told in the room and then sent maintenance saying issue with air conditioning. No apologies, just sulky staff member.
Didn’t mention anything about restaurants or wine tasting
Menu on website different to what being served in Sansibar.
No real atmosphere about the place
We first stayed 15 years ago and stayed many times since and the hotel has become just a conference venue

Lost $1,900 because of their untruthfulness.
Cons:

After advising me explicitly that I can change my dates ("You may proceed with changing the dates. Kindly advise which dates you would like to move to so that we can check availability."), I gave them dates that were open, but then they reneged and I lost $1,900. Deplorable.

Do NOT expect to be treated like a paying customer and do NOT expect therm to be truthful.
