Horrible experience... so much potential!!
I was looking forward to wonderful weekend away but the hotel just does not live up to its pictures, maybe it did 10 years ago. The hotel needs a serious refurb as well as the grounds of the hotel. The pool is definitely not this clean and blue as in the pictures anymore - it needs a paint job and a proper clean. The bed I slept in made such a noise when you moved, it was terrible. The carpets were so marked, it was gross. The whole experience staying at the hotel freaked me out and I wont be returning. Some of the staff were really helpful, especially at breakfast but is so sad they have to work at a hotel that is literally falling apart. The hotel has so much potential, being where they are situated, right by the ocean but I wouldn't recommend staying here to anyone. So sad.

Outdated and run down
We could check in from 2pm, but when we arrived at 3pm our room wasn't completely ready. No pillowcases on the one bed and even though we'd booked for 4 people there were only 2 towels provided. The TV channels weren't working and it took a day and a half for maintenance to be called to fix it. (In fairness once he was called the maintenance guy was friendly and sorted it out quite quickly) The shower leaked quite badly and there's no extractor fan in the bathroom - also there was very little cold water pressure. Every morning breakfast was chaotic. The hotel seems to have insufficient parking so we had to park quite far away which was quite inconvenient with our toddler and baby. It's situated really nicely close to the beach but the outdoor shower is broken so you end up walking sand back into the hotel. There isn't much security at this hotel that we could see either - it's incredibly easy to just walk around and into the pool area and from there into the hotel.

Brilliant situation
Ran out of fruit, Honey, Marmalade and coffee. We asked for ordinary day to day items which we were told were out of stock. They were every day and the staff were unhelpful. They were not trained and there appeared to be no supervision. There were few guests--never more tun 20 out of 150 rooms. Most were of Chinese origin on bus tours of the Garden Route. Their were no facilities in the hotel that worked at all.

TERRIBLE SERVICE - BY INCOMPETENT STAFF
As I love visiting the Wilderness, this was by far the worst ever hotel that I have booked. Staff has absolutely no consideration for you their guests, noise level was terrible, room was full of bugs, no tv remote supplied, no bath mat, no hand towel, had to practically beg for an extra toilet roll.....I will never consider booking this hotel again, I also think Hotels.com should consider removing them from your site. Unless you don't mind having such an incompetent hotel added to your list......what should have been a relaxing stay turned into a miserable seven days......SAD !!!!!! A tiny, bad smelling, damp little room is where you will find Wi-Fi facilities....what a laugh!

The welcoming was not ok according to my understanding we were supposed to be told about the facilities of the hotel,meals available to purchase and about surrounding erea if we want to go out of the hotel so all in all we had to ask everything ourself so the service was not ok at all.
