Home from home.
Pros:

Lovely staff, great restaurant, nice seating no area which felt like home from home, wonderful pool - great temperature, and altogether great place.

Cons:

Our room - No. 4 was a bit dark so being able to sit in it wasn’t the best.

A lovely hotel in a very nice location.
Pros:

Location and style.
The breakfasts were very good and the one dinner we had at Blues Restaurant was also very good.
The room was very nice with an excellent bathroom.
The Oyster Lounge had a very nice terrace looking out to the sea and sunset.

Cons:

Aspects of the location: the outside dining overlooked a cul de sac road, and a couple of staff seemed to have a haughty attitude. Some staff needed more training.

Pros:

Der Ausblick auf den Sonnenuntergang.

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage und die Minibar waren extrem laut. Wir musste die Anlage durch die Nacht leider ausschalten was sehr unangenehm war bei einer nächtlichen Temperatur von 26 Grad.
Auf dem Nachttisch war alles voller Sand, der nicht von uns war.

Cons:

The only complaint we had was that the rooibos tea was not replenished, so no early morning tea for us on the second day.

Pleasant Paternoster Hotel
Pros:

Having two restaurants on site is excellent. Good sized room with comfortable bed. Turn down service in the evening

Cons:

My wife experienced very slow service at breakfast. The entrance to the room is restricted - too close to the bed.
Sink height to high in bathroom. Rain shower too low.
