Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The Sunday Brunch is fantastic! A superb selection of local and international hot food, breads, fruits, meats, cheeses and more. The restaurant is beautifully designed in an African/Zebra motif. Then dinner at the Indian Restaurant exceeded all expectations. The delicious grilled shrimp were served on a skewer that was "hanging" above the plate, a very dramatic presentation to be sure!
Negative: Our group of 12+ arrived and we had to wait 20 minutes before our reservations were attended to. We were expected yet only one person was at reception. It took way too long to check in. Unfortunately, the beds are hard. Remodelling is ongoing so maybe new mattresses or a topper will be included in the renovations.
Summary: Delicious meals are 5-stars at this hotel!

Negative: I’m so disappointed, due to the fact that my booking was included SPA service but during my stay the hotel refused to offer a free SPA service as recommended in my booking. The hotel receptionist stated that, the letter from booking.com didn’t state about inclusion of SPA service in my booking.
Summary: Received the unexpected service due to the missing of free SPA service
