This is my second visit to the hotel, and I after having just stayed for 3 weeks, I must leave an enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The hotel's decor is a very pleasant and modern Afrochic. Its a real oasis after work, and having a room with a balcony overlooking the pool was a real plus. Great to sit out and relax in the evening. Breakfast is excellent with a good choice of healthy options. Staff service is friendly & very good.

Booked thru Expedia, but they charged me extra at reception. Booked for one person, didn’t do two and they charged me extra at check in. The room is super small, very tight and there was no shampoo or conditioner. The top floor bar, however, was cool. Not too impressed.
