take a risk if they never respond back to your email
Cons:

i emailed for an airport transfer 5 months before the trip in both french and in english and they never replied back. i did not even know if i still had a reservation there so i had to unnecessarily take a chance of being homeless

Pros:

J’ai aimé le fait qu'ils m’ont trouvé les chambres adjacentes pour ma famille. Les chambres étaient grandes et propres, les lits étaient confortables, les salles de bain étaient propres . J' ai beaucoup aimé aussi le fait qu'ils m’ont envoyé un chauffeur professionnel et très accueillant me chercher à l'aéroport. Le véhicule était propre et spacieux.

Cons:

J'ai moins aimé le service de restauration car c'était long et le personnel du restaurant était moins accueillant que l'autre personnel.

Pros:

L'Hôtel Safari Gate à un excelent rapport qualité prix, un personnel gentil et très serviable, le menu propose sont de qualité, mais il manque juste qu'il soit proposé de la salade en accompagnements des plats principal.
Leurs salles de sport est très bien équipée et entretenue et avec piscine c'est au atout intéressant.

Cons:

Rien

Really recommend 6pm
Pros:

This is a great hotel, very clean and super comfy bed. I liked the calm grounds and nice pool view room. Staff are very good. Good place to chill for a day. I stayed in 2 other hotels in the city - this was by far the best one.

Cons:

My only suggestion would be to put some mattresses on the pool lounges - or get more of the comfy lounges around the pool area - 4 is not enoughh. Also snall thing - I ordered a 'fresh' pineapple juice but it was fresh from a can despite them 'confirming' it was fresh - it was not. Food was expensive imho.
