The villa unit was very comfortable and had lovely sea views from the main room and balcony. The housekeeping was good, just need more attention to detail when replenishing tea sachets for the next morning. Reception was initially not overly welcoming, but thereafter a gent named Nkosi was excellent in helping us.

Our stay was wonderful. As a single mom, I felt security visibility would have been comforting. Maybe consider having securities at night during peak periods.

Watching dolphins

We booked this last minute as we had to cancel our other accommodation. The rooms are beautiful with balconies looking out over the beautiful sea. We had booked a superior suite but were upgraded to a larger one. We were able to lie in bed and watch the dolphins swim through the bay. The staff were extremely helpful and the on site restaurant offered fabulous food and views. You can also self cater here. Dispute there being many sized rooms, suites,cottages etc it never felt crazy busy and at times there was only us by the pool.
