5* rating - but need to hire more staff !

Hotel is beautiful - views across the vineyards from infinity pool are stunning. Rooms are very well appointed, great bathrooms and free minibar a nice touch. However - only negative point - the service was *excellent* by the staff - I cannot fault the effort by the people working there ... BUT - they felt understaffed across hotel. 1 poor guy/girl working pool service for 16-20 people on beds. 1-2 boys or girls on front desk with no porters to help luggage so they have to do that. At times they seemed over-run. Great shame because everything else was faultless - and the staff were great, they just had too much to cover

Sexy, Slightly out of Focus

The property is gorgeous: the vineyard, the pool and the interior common space design. The staff was perfectly nice but for example there was no one coming out to the parking lot to collect luggage as we arrived and left, they misplaced our car key briefly. The rooms seem to focus on design over function & practicality. The bedding was not as nice as other hotels at this price point. The breakfast was fabulous! Delicious, fresh and with excellent service. And the on demand in room popcorn was a nice fun touch. At a slightly lower price point it would have been perfect. At these prices it could have used a tiny bit more attention to detail.

There is so much to like about this property if you are young and into canned rap music! We for the three nights there and arrived Saturday mid afternoon. They had 3 Hens parties and the noise in the restaurant Rare Hare was intolerable! There was seating outside but not enough umbrellas and at 29 degrees just too hot. The bar which is lovely was also too noisy and again the canned rap music. We sat outside of there again no umbrellas with rap music blaring outside and we were the only ones there but they couldn’t turn it down. The good is absolutely delightful and could not fault this especially the breakfasts which are to die for ! We did the degustation menu on Sunday night (part of the Indulgence package) whilst the good was beautiful you either like them or not! This was served in Doot Doot Doot their signature restaurant. Doot Doot Doot is the only restaurant open on a Monday and only does deguststion so unless you want to pay the price or do the same dinner you have to go off site. They will make the booking and take you to/from the restaurant. Again the canned music which we asked to be turned down and then it was so appalling we had to ask them to change the music, WHY do restaurants/retreats think that everyone likes the music and likes it loud. They were a few oldies - 50 and over and I spoke to a couple who complained about the same thing.

It would have got five stars for everything but the service in the bar did not quite match the other brilliant staff. Personally we thought the dining room was a bit severe and too regular in layout but we are being super critical. And should have opened the net curtains for breakfast to enjoy the view- super critical again
