Well situated, easy access from the airport, beautiful sea view from my room. However, no wifi at hotel. It would also be nice if hotel management can inform customers about load shedding schedule.

Not up to expectations.

I took a suite with the intention of treating my wife to something a bit special. The cleanliness of the suite was good but there were a few issues that irritated me. Considering the cost and the location, I was surprised to find that there were only two towels available. A small "hand-towel" and a slightly larger one. The water tasted bad but this was probably because we are not used to the EL water. This could have been somewhat offset with some complimentary bottled water, of which there was none. The rooms were a bit Spartan and there could have been some flowers (even plastic ones). The shouting and noises of the car washing that takes place across the entire front of the hotel were a bit disconcerting until we reminded ourselves that this, after all, Africa and that we should just live with these little irritations. Abandoning any ideas of a romantic evening on the veranda, we turned on the TV only to find a tiny (6 plus 2 snow) bouquet of channels that included news, cartoons and soapies. Thank goodness for an iPad and downloaded movies.
