The place has lovely ambience, especially if you ate a long stayer. Thebstagg are courteous and the food is just amazingly innovative and tasty. Housekeeping obliged my request to not be disturbed while ensuring my supply of perishables. While the gym is small, it is adequate if you knoq what you are doing. It could do worj bettwr cleaning though as the mats are often dirty and equipment not wiped down. Will certainly continue staying with them and highly recommend.

Cresta Lodge presents a mix of thoughtful service and notable shortcomings. Arrival was efficient and welcoming, with the bellhop well-prepared and aware of my check-in. However, my assigned suite room was poorly thought out: the living area had no lighting whatsoever, making evening work impossible. Although the reception responded promptly with lamps, the solution exposed further oversight – there was no power socket to plug in the lamp. This necessitated a room change. The second room was better equipped, and I appreciate Olivia for ensuring it met my needs. WiFi quality was good but inconsistent across the room, something remote workers should verify before settling in. Dinner service at the main restaurant was disappointing. After being seated, I waited over 20 minutes without any attention while other tables were repeatedly served. I eventually left and had a far better experience at the coffee shop, where staff were attentive, professional, and welcoming. The room itself felt stuffy and insufficiently deep-cleaned, evidenced by a slipper left under the bed from a previous guest. On my final night, housekeeping staff entered my room while I was still sleeping, despite the door being locked, and left upon realizing it was occupied. During my stay, the Twenty20 Cricket Competition was underway, with two teams lodged at Cresta. Heavy room service usage resulted in food trays and plates frequently left in corridors, creating unpleasant odors. Overall: average.

Unfortunately my stay was quite unpleasant. I left to get some food after checking in but when I got back I saw used condoms on the floor next .. I am assuming these were from a previous guest but room was just not cleaned enough. I requested a change of room or at least bedding at the time but no one came to my room to even try rectify the issue …it just made me feel so uncomfortable, disgusted and totally unpleasant . The shower was leaking , there were cockroaches in the bathroom … the standards were really low for that price .

Rooms look a little tired but ok. Garden was not well looked after. (cut trees not completely removed, uncut lawn) I had a beer at the poolbar around 12:45. Tables were not cleaned. I had lunch at 13:50 at the restaurant. Outside tables were occupied by staff having lunch. Weird. IMHO Cresta Lodge just meets minimum standards. Not better, not worse.
