The villa unit was very comfortable and had lovely sea views from the main room and balcony. The housekeeping was good, just need more attention to detail when replenishing tea sachets for the next morning. Reception was initially not overly welcoming, but thereafter a gent named Nkosi was excellent in helping us.

Poderia ter sido melhor

Acomodação com dois quartos com boas camas e bem limpo, sala, cozinha bem equipada e varanda com um linda vista. Não dei nota máxima pois ficamos sem água quente, a energia caia a todo momento, e não tinha mais ninguém na recepção quando tentamos pedir apoio, um segurança que nos deu suporte e restabeleceu o aquecimento da água. O café da manhã se inicia às 8:00, achamos tarde.

Beim Abendessen ist die frisch gemachte Sushiplatte Weltklasse! Beim Frühstück ist der Cappuccino gesondert zu zahlen, die Brote sind so hart, dass alle Gäste mit den unscharfen Messern irgendwann aufgeben und nur den Belag essen.Das Omlett ist sehr fettig! Die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants sind bemüht, aber unorganisiert.
