Pros:

I had the kings suite. Quite nice that in a large villa there is a shared space but you also have your own room or suite inside the villa. It was quiet and comfortable. The location in the Ezilwini valley is very beautiful and convenient if you have a car. Friendly personnel and a relatively good restaurant too. I tried the eggs Benedict for warm breakfast that was so so not the greatest but am confident that other warm breakfast options will be better. Overall I would recommend it.

Good stay in Eswatini
Pros:

It was a good stay, no issues to report. Everything worked well, bathroom was great, had all amenities. Was of course too cold to use the pool since it's winter. Breakfast was ok, probably expected more from this type of level.

Well trained Hotel Staff
Pros:

The hotel personnel was making sure that you are comfortable by asking me if there is anything else I need to make my stay more comfortable. They were very friendly. I was asked this question throughout my stay at Hotel.
