Pros:

The is a guy by the reception area. He was very welcoming and super patient with us. He attended to all of our request and ensured our stay was comfortable and we enjoyed value for money. The facility itself was beautiful.

Cons:

Had to wait 15 to 20 minutes by the gate upon arrival because there was no at the gate and it was late around 19h00. At one point even had to ask someone passing by how we gain access. The numbers provided on the net did not work!

Villa Paradiso is a very beautiful, clean, inviting place and the privacy is out of this world.
Pros:

The breakfast was very nice and fresh and the variety is accomodating everyone's diet.
As for the time you should at least extend to 10h00, because as a traveller you want to sleep a bit late sometimes.
The venue is next to entertainment facilities its a plus for travellers. Can you please send me details of any specials available.

Cons:

There is no onsite entertainment at the venue, to accomodate visitors who dont want to go out.
Also the music at the facilities can be at least adjusted to accomodate locals.

Wonderful for a short getaway from Joburg:)
Pros:

I had a great time at Villa Paradiso. The room was wonderful with an extra big bed, not what I was expecting for a budget double room. The site was lovely to walk around, and I can see how this would be a great wedding venue. They also make a delicious breakfast. The staff were so friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

I went during a quiet period, so it was understandable that the restaurant was not available for dinner, but the location is very close to try local restaurant spots.
