Great resort

The facilities were really lovely. I was a bit surprised that only one parking was allocated for a 2 bedroom unit that can sleep 6. The positive was that the security sorted out an extra parking bay in no time. There was also extreme noise made by guests on another floor. Perhaps staff could be more aware of this.

check in issues

Hi I had an issue 1) I had contacted the hotel and Expediaabout 1 day travel change. No one was able to help me and the buck was passed. I was charged for nights I was not there. Even though the request was made 2 weeks prior! Then when we arrived they had given away my room. And wanted to put us in rooms and swap half way through the stay. I am a platinum Client of Expedia we spend in excess of 40 000USD a month with them,and I have laid the complaint. I will also not be giving a good review for my international guests. I feel I was robbed and treated badly. And paid for a room that was not what I booked. And still was not compensated. Very shocked and perplexed.

Man kann diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Das gesamte Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Appartement war gut ausgestattet und sauber. Dass das Geschirr abgespült und aufgeräumt wird, hätten wir nicht erwartet. Auch mit Load Shed hatten wir kein Problem.
