Loads of potential
I would say the hotel is satisfactory and in definite need of an upgrade. The bedding and bed were awesome but the walls, decor, furniture all need updating. The aircon is loud and noisy and the hotel should perhaps in solar etc. as the aircon does not work when there is load shedding. A lot of the TV channels did not have sound, and the shower door did not close. I think for the price you pay, you can expect more. Thanks

Loved it
What a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend. Staff at the Hotel were amazingly friendly and professional. From Reception to room service to breakfast staff just outstanding!! The Auqua Dome was VERY disappointing. The staff open when they want to. Literally an hour after the board signs says and online times. The only slide is not always open as the life guard wants to chat to his friends so closes and opens at random. If you ask him to use the slide he will tell you in 20 minutes.
