눉I did not find the downstairs bar to be particularly welcoming. There was an air of distrust throughout the entire hotel and everything (laundry, drinks in the bar, dinner in the only hotel restaurant) had to be paid for immediately (or at least that was what we were told by the people that served us). Whilst generally friendly, quite a few of the staff clearly had not been adequately trained.
눇The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the views lovely.

눇I did not pay for extra parking and my car was parked right on the hotel and got broken into, was badly damaged and had to be towed away. I had to take a hired car for one month to allow for repairs

눉The fact that we couldn't get iron for our clothes we had to pay R12 per item to get clothes ironed each day. Booking confirmed sea facing room but we got a side view. Room we were in I think was near were cleaning or staff kitchen but the constant noise of glass bottles being thrown was quite disturbing. The insistence to come into the room to deliver chocolate after 20h00 was irritating our first night they came in while we were fast asleep I felt that was really out of order cause we were all shocked to find someone
