Everything except the bath.

The bath. It is hard to regulate hot and cold water. The temperature changes slowly and it is hard to regulate it to finally get just normal warm water. It sholud be improved fot such a high level of property.

Truly outstanding hotel

10.0

From the moment we arrived for our 3 night stay right to the end this hotel surpassed our (high) expectations! It is a beautiful hotel with a stunning backdrop. The food and wine are delicious, the rooms are luxurious. But what makes it outstanding in our opinion are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and special. A huge thank you to ALL the staff and especially Byron and Nuzaan who were just always “on it”, to William, Mario, Trevonia and Simone, and the drivers Garth, Grandley and Galant. We sincerely hope we can come back one day.
