Was able to add a day room booking when we were returning from our safari, rather than spending 8 hours in the airport. The hotel staff was so accommodating to make sure we had everything we wanted even for our short stay.

Prasad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The pool was heated and perfect, lots of outdoor dining. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the ala carte restaurants were fair, my husband was sick after eating prawns at the main dining room. Lacked space to walk outside safely. Too close to downtown but more suited for business travel.
