    I didn’t like when I was noticed the day of my departure to clean the apartment with dishes , while I didn’t find the dishwasher and told the cleaner and she told me is stock out she will bring when they receive order. All cleaning materials bottles empty

    The location was not bad as I got the with no problems to reach my destination

    The down side about this place is entering and exiting the estate. It is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to enter and exit the estate.

    The property is well located and secure.

    - Only two access codes were given, couldn’t even go out cause we wouldnt be able to access the facility again - You have to pay to access the lagoon - You have to clean and take out trash before you check out, I can’t go on vacation and be expected to clean - Electricity was limited, we were told to buy it if it finishes.

    The property had no issues.

    Sis Isabel’s reception and accommodation was exceptional. I booked for me and my mom for her birthday, and my mom is still speaking about the stay even today. She was just a call away whenever we needed something, I loved everything about her place.

    The couch in the apartment we stayed in was so uncomfortable.. It was actually painful to complete a movie while sitting on it. The cleaning detergents and the hand soap were all so little like someone was working on a budget The person who was assisting me throughout expected me to clean up the room before I leave... Kante room service ke ya eng?? 😳 😳 🥺

    The Blyde is amazing, I liked the water it's so clean and well maintained, the food at the restaurant was so delish it was just so refreshing ❤️♥️

    Our host Mrs Isabel was the best, she made us feel very welcomed. The lagoon and gaming area are also a great way to unwind and relax. We also loved the secure complex with 24 hour security. The apartment we were in was very neat and minimum noise even during festive season. We'll definitely be coming back to this awesome place 😎.

    Our unit didn't have a grill rack and pans for the oven and when asked our host didn't have an alternative for us.

    Everything was as shown on the pictures on booking.com and it was very comfortable.

    That we had to pay for entrance for swimming pool whilst we booked at the place. That really made sad we never even bother to go to swim.

    The place was so lovely 😍 even the lady that welcomed us she's a darling. Her phone was on 24hrs for incase we might need anything. Thank you mama for ur warm welcome

    Remarkable host! Isabel went out of her to ensure that everything is ok. She attended to all matters raised, with urgency and ensured that we had a comfortable stay. I give her 10/10 🙂
