Pros:

Stuff was friendly,

Cons:

Breakfast not so good
When we were booking we wanted to go to the spa only to find out that it was closed for reservations, I believe that should be the first thing they let u be aware of 😩

Outstanding!
Pros:

Both restaurants were of exceptional standard, we eat out at least 5 x week so I think I am qualified enough to say they both deserve 5 Star rating.

Cons:

I just felt a little attention to the cupboards and bathroom in need of maintenance.

We had a brilliant, relaxing time away, and definately we will be returning.
Pros:

The staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and I genuinely felt a happy vibe within the operation. This was encapsulated by Onwaba who was just so friendly and engaging.
The breakfasts each morning was plentiful, and we had a very good selection to choose from.
We had a fabulous meal and experience in the Skyfall restaurant; this is an amazing setting.
Our room was tastefully furnished, and the bed was very comfortable with quality linen.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the spa was closed for renovations. This was a bit disappointing as it was our 10th year wedding anniversary, and we wanted to enjoy the complete spa experience. We booked a spa experience somewhere else, but it felt a bit strange to do so.
At the time of booking nowhere was it highlighted that the spa would be in fact closed.
Brahman Hills on asking did upgrade my room in lieu of this, so that was appreciated. That being said the bathroom whilst functional was very small.
