Beautiful green architectural sanctuary style private hotel with amazing food and a homely friendly service.
Pros:

Amazing location, stunning architecture and landscapes, wonderful food and very happy, friendly and helpful staff. The sanctuary style place feels more like a private residence with an amazing blend of modern architecture and Eastern and African architecture and interior design, than a hotel. The heated pool, private underground cinema, communal dinner experience, feeling of privacy, spa and gym are all very memorable moments. It’s an absolute must to experience, and I would definitely go back again. It’s a place you go to relax, instead of using it purely as a place to sleep. You really feel the passion and care from the owner and management to make this a wonderful experience for every visitor.

Cons:

Very little not to like. Shower water didn’t get very warm and had low pressure, even when turned to max. The entry gates are extremely slow to open and close, and unmarked as Future Found Sanctuary. It’s in essence 3-4 stunning houses on a very large plot of land in an residential area. And, if you stay at the Villa Verte (in our case) you get send to another gate higher up the hill to enter the property through another gate, making the arrival feel a little confusing and disorienting. It also doesn’t have your traditional reception, but rather a butler type approach where somebody greets you when you walk into the house. This could be guided better to make the arrival smoother.

One of the most beautiful and special places we’ve ever stayed. Every detail, every space and every person made the expe
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay, the property is breathtaking, but it was the warmth and care of every member of staff that made it truly special; every part of the experience felt deeply connected, nurturing and genuinely magical. The service was top, we’ve not experienced service like that anywhere we’ve travelled. We cant wait to go back!

Очень зеленый отель с красивой территорией.
Pros:

Отель расположен в зеленой зоне с перепадом высот. Из окон открывется вид на сад и горы. Красивое, уединенное место. Большая вилла с общей зоной столовой, бассейном и кинотеатром.

Cons:

Было очень холодно по ночам, камин в гостинной не справлялся. В номерах не сразу придумали, как нагреть воздух.
Сложно найти отель, такси не сразу находили наши ворота. Не хватало гигиенического душа в санузле.
