Amazing Buffet Experience

I had a fantastic experience with the hotel’s dining options. The breakfast buffet was a good spread that catered to all tastes. I was particularly impressed by the effort put into the buffet setup. The variety was lovely, and I felt truly spoiled for choice. Special shoutout to Bafana for the amazing waffles. A perfect way to start our day!

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

I appreciated the family-oriented environment, perfect for a fun getaway with kids! The garden area was great for children to play, and the indoor games room kept them entertained for hours. The presence of outdoor activities, like mini-golf, offered quality time for families like mine. A win-win for everyone!

I had a lovely stay at the Wilderness Hotel, which features charming historical elements but could benefit from some updates. My room was comfortable and quiet, and I really enjoyed the impressive breakfast buffet included with my stay. The bar experience, however, was disappointing, with a sticky atmosphere and unfriendly service. Overall, while there's fantastic potential, especially with the beautiful pool and beach access, some areas need improvement.

7.4/10

My recent stay at the Wilderness Hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the hotel has beautiful renovations that blend old world charm with modern comfort. However, our time was unfortunately marred by noise from a group of rowdy guests that made it hard to relax. The staff were pleasant, but improvements in service efficiency would go a long way to enhance the experience.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were pleasant but definitely needed some carpet cleaning. We also faced a major issue with the hot water, which made showering impossible during our stay.

While the service was generally friendly, there were delays, especially in the bar service during busy evenings, which affected the overall experience.

Location

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of several restaurants and shops, which made exploring the area easy. The view from the main patio overlooking the lagoon was superb.

Dining

6.4/10

The hotel has a lot of potential with its spacious rooms and fantastic breakfast options. However, my experience was dampened by some cleanliness issues and poor noise control from other guests. While I appreciated the decent value for the price, it wasn't the relaxing getaway I had hoped for due to the noisy environment and some maintenance lapses.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms I stayed in were spacious and comfortable, with two double beds. However, I found several cleanliness issues, including stained bedding and a balcony that was not properly maintained.

Service

6.0

While the staff were friendly and accommodating, they seemed overwhelmed, and we didn't receive an apology for our room issues. Communication could definitely be improved.

Location

The location was quite central, making it easy to access nearby restaurants and amenities, which is a plus. I appreciated being close to everything we needed.

Dining

9.0

Breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay with a great variety of fresh options, which I really enjoyed.

Facilities

The hotel has potential with various facilities, but the overall maintenance did not meet expectations for a resort spa, and I think it needs some improvements.
