The property was great with everything that someone needs for a perfect stay. The staff was very courteous. That was by far one of the best hotels I have stayed in my 31 years of travel experience.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was tiny for 2 people, 2 single beds squeezed in with a curtain separating the shower and one of the beds also ran out of hot water in the morning. You could hear everything that was going on in the next door rooms…..sound proofing not the best. Reception staff not at all helpful - booked with breakfast included but suddenly on arrival it wasn’t and there was no allowance made by them. The dining room staff at night however were amazing and the food wasn’t too bad. We stayed at the southern Sun on our arrival which was closer to the airport and was markedly better than the protea.
