Wonderful Desert Grace. 5 star.

Incredible place. Quality of the rooms, facilities and overall property was outstanding. My only suggestion for the Desert Grace is to make the plunge pools solar heated. They are too cold even to plunge in, and they get sun every day, so solar heating unit for each pool makes sense. It is frustrating to not be able to use a beautiful pool in your apartment.

Einfach traumhaft! Die Unterkunft ist stilvoll angelegt und sehr gepflegt. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer ist sehr schön eingerichtet. Leider konnte ich den Pool nicht nutzen, da es die beiden Tage sehr windig und kühl war. Ich würde die Unterkunft sofort weiterempfehlen. Einzig allein der hohe Preis für das Abendessen ist aus meiner Sicht etwas zu hoch gegriffen. Ich war in anderen Unterkünften der Gondwana Collection und dort war das Essen günstiger und genauso gut! Trotzdem war das Essen sehr gut! Der Personal war sehr freundlich und gut ausgebildet. Ich würde sofort wiederkommen. Es lohnt sich zwei Nächte zu buchen, um die traumhafte Unterkunft und den Ausblick auch zu genießen.
