Breakfast was fantastic

We were on NY night in Sante And there was nothing special There was no music or any entertainment The dinner was too early It was strange Because the hotel is small, you don’t see any people

Ein Wellness Hotel, dass man bei einem Südafrika Urlaub als 1.Station zum Stressabau buchen kann

8.0

Ein Wellness Hotel, dass wir bei jedem Südafrika Urlaub zum Stressabau für die 1. Woche buchen. Wir schätzen die sehr gesunde Ernährung und nutzen verschiedene Anwendungen.

Leider sind die Zimmer und die Einrichtungen etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Es würde ihnen eine komplette Überarbeitung gut zu Gesicht stehen. Funktionen wie Toilettenspülung, Föhn funktionieren nicht immer. Stromanschlüsse nicht für Europäer geeignet.

superbe endroit a decouvrir absolument

7.0

The Spa and facilities were great

Lack of other guests. Had Dinner in the dining room on our own.

Ian · ES · 2026-01-22

Not recommended. It's all about money there.

1.0

Literally nothing

In my opinion, my experience with this retreat was extremely disappointing and far below what I would expect from a property presenting itself as a high-end or luxury retreat.
