10/10 Exceptional

This is my second visit to the hotel, and I after having just stayed for 3 weeks, I must leave an enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The hotel's decor is a very pleasant and modern Afrochic. Its a real oasis after work, and having a room with a balcony overlooking the pool was a real plus. Great to sit out and relax in the evening. Breakfast is excellent with a good choice of healthy options. Staff service is friendly & very good.

Innovative hotel which does not forget the basics

Loved the ambiance and the attention to detail in the room. In-room dining ordering through the TV worked in some cases and did not at other times. The staff are wonderful and helpful! Breakfast was really good, they had a nice mix of local and international options. The only thing is it was a bit noisy at night.

Excellent but for the upstairs restaurant food (fair and service (inexperienced, poor).
Harold, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

While the property was fine on the surface, sadly it's clear a lot of the revenue comes from the bars and outlets at the hotel. Music every night we were there continued until 2am and it was difficult to sleep as the patio door on our room didn't lock or close properly. There was also a storm which was pretty heavy, but in the morning, there was water on the floor and water damage on the wall too. It looks great, the staff are brilliant, but it's a challenge to sleep there. Inca, the restaurant at the top also gets pretty smokey whenever they cook, and windows have to be opened, and we got bitten a few times, so don't forget your mozzie spray. All in all, it's a good property, but just needs a bit of TLC and consideration for their guests who are trying to sleep.
