What a great hotel and hotel chain! From check in to check out the front house staff make you feel welcome. Benson was amazing as was everyone in the hotel. At the Pool Bar we had a great time and the staff are wonderful, as was the main restaurant staff. I really recommend the Tulia Spa. We had 2 treatments, the Tulia Ritual and a 1 hour massage each. Sheila was amazing!! She is sweet welcoming and professional with magic hands. I was lucky to have her for my 2 treatments and my mom for 1 and we both agreed that it was the best massage of our lives. She is very special the the Panafric is lucky to have her. We really enjoyed our stay!

Incredibly great hotel
This is a spectacular hotel. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was over the top great. The room and hotel has all the necessary modern amenities. And given that it’s off a busy room the rooms are sooo quiet.
