Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is very nice and comfortable. However I had been on safari for a week and I really wanted to relax. The employees of southern sun were very rude. Which included not limited to questioning why I was at the hotel, rolling eyes, not wanting to help me at the desk, questioning why I would order a bottle of wine. Asking why my key cards went bad. Questioning why I’d share a bottle of wine with another guest. I wanted to sit on the patio and enjoy breakfast with my new friend and the waiter said it was inconvenient. I’m very disappointed and I will be telling my friends as I am a very popular influencer. You assumed wrong. Cheers
