I like the layout of the hotel, the room and it’s closness to the beach/souvenir shops.

The room is big enough, ample space for relaxation. Two sofas for my tired body was a bonus. The pianist/organist playing some Oscar Pdtersen number was superb.

On my first check in on Friday there was loadshedding so we couldn't check in at 2pm. I came back at 5pm and was told to complete a booking form because though electricity was back their system was still down so we couldn't be checked in. I had to leave and only checked in around 7pm. All my plans for the day were messed up since I couldn't bath or change into formal wear for my appointment. Surely there would be a backup generator if not at least a better way to check customers in especially after over 2 hour inconveniences.
The hotel is quiet and neat
