I love staying at the colonial club and as a Ken‘s local do so quite often I was so disappointed in the food and beverage service. We stayed two nights. The breakfast staff were amazing. The night staff very poor English and understanding of menus drinks and service. It wasn’t the shortage of staff to French girls on the front showed appalling service. Speaking in their own language, rude There was no leadership tables were cleared not wiped. Very disappointing.

Last 2 stays and last night I noticed a few little baby cockroaches everywhere. Not sure if it's because of he weather change but I ant have them crawling around. Although the staff who checked us in was great and made the direction to our room very clear by pointing out which carpark was best and what block from thereour room was in. No one has made it so simple like that before out of all the times I've been there. He did great job
