South Africa
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location, not far from the beach and it is close to the restaurants, shops, fuel station, a taxi rank, spa's
Negative: The showers were a nightmare, one had lukewarm water. The other one had very hot water, when mixing cold water it is just impossible. You end up showering on cold water. We were not allowed to take photos or videos while dancing on the patio so we had to go take photos at the beach. Our room was across the dining area, and the lights could not be switched off, and I could not sleep due to the light reflecting on the windows.
