Perfect Hotel near airport, Awesome golf course, super helpful staff
Pros:

Great hotel for refreshing after long flight and waiting for our Golf/Safari to start. Hotel went above and beyond to sort our party of 3 couples. Awesome golf course, didn't leave the hotel, everything was catered for. Safe and secure. Would highly recommend.
Hotel sorted transfers and picked us up from the airport with 6 bags of golf clubs etc... nothing a problem. Thanks to the Manager David.

Cons:

security so tight, hard to enter back from golf course to the hotel... sorted with existing residence, not a major but something to watch for out for new guests
