It was wonderful. My crew and I which is 7 in total will be booking a stay on the 6th April.
Pros:

Everything, including the bar. Saphiso and his manager were awesome. Caring and kind. Could not have asked for better hosts. Checkin was weedless and the lady at the front desk got me sorted in seconds. Just awesome. The shuttle to the airport was easy and punctual. Great driver to and fro.

Cons:

Nothing.
