Um lugar tranquilo e excelente para descansar
Pros:

Da localização, da limpeza, da paisagem e principalmente da simpatia de todos os funcionários

Cons:

A falta de proteção das varandas dos quartos (muito mau para quem viaja com crianças pequenas que foi o meu caso), a comida podia ser melhor e no pequeno-almoço deveriam ter os nomes dos doces, dos sumos e indicação dos alimentos com potencial alérgico (e ter opções). Também achei mal que para alguns clientes houvesse welcome drink e para outros não, e que tivessem só informado alguns que se podiam pedir os ovos a gosto para o pequeno-almoço.

Ótima
Pros:

O quarto é ótimo, confortável, espaçoso e aconchegante. Sentimos falta apenas de um frigobar. Também seria bom um box no banheiro, pois ele se molha muito durante o banho.

A good value Pit Stop in Eswatini
Pros:

Staff were responsive. Compact but pleasant rooms. Restaurant could cater to large crowds and very responsive. The lodge has a good vibe. Idyllic setting, set in tropical gardens.

Cons:

The restaurant could do with some fans as it gets really hot. The bed mattress was too soft - Perhaps time for a change. Suggest more variety at breakfast.
