Service was not ip to standard
Pros:

Beautiful ocean view from my room.

Cons:

My linen had stains on.
No tea coffee on arrival
At night you could you water running above you must be some sort of pipes running above the bed. In results you end up not having a peaceful sleep.

Walked into breakfast room no person to receive me. I ate a bowl of musli and a glass of juice they charge me R220.00 how can this even be possible I asked the lady... she gave me attitude and said you dont have to pay. I'm from the same industry... you receive someone at the entrance of breakfast explain how breakfast works...

Shower water takes forever to drain... so while you taking a shower you stand in your own water...
