Mooie hotel, alles wat je nodig hebt.
Pros:

Top verblijf gehad in Golden Ridge! Prachtig hotel met alle faciliteiten die je nodig hebt! Heerlijk zwembad en een mooie skybar. Heerlijk restaurant en zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet.

Cons:

Ik vond het vervelend dat bij vertrek meerdere keren, opdringerig werd gevraagd om een goede review. Daardoor gingen we wel met een geïrriteerd gevoel weg.

סביבת מלון עוצרת נשימה
Pros:

ארוחות בוקר וערב נפלאות. צוות אדיב ושירותי. סביבת המלון מדהימה ופשוט נפלא לשוטט במרחבים המוריקים, לראות את המפלים, הרי הבזלת ובכלל לנסוע בטוק טוקים ולחוות הכל. חדר משחקים נחמד מאוד לילדים וגם להורים. בריכה מחוממת מקסימה על גג הבניין. חממת ירקות נפלאה שניתן להתרשם ולבקר בה.

Cons:

עיצוב הפנים של החדר שקיבלנו ניתן לשיפור. אין מיזוג אוויר בחדרים. מתגי התאורה לא ידידותיים בכלל למשתמשים ותלויים אחד בשני. היינו ממוקמים ככל הנראה בקומה שמעל המטבח והיה ריח חזק של אוכל. חדר הילדים היה סגור כשהגענו והמעלית בבניין הבריכה / ספא הייתה לא תקינה. חבל מאןד שיש רק מעלית אחת בבניין המלון המרכזי שמכיל את מרבית החדרים.
