Nous avions la suite exécutive de 2 chambres et un salon, suite très spacieuse et agréable.
Petit déjeuner correct.
Belles prestations avec accès au parc d’attractions gratuit et navette gratuite à tout moment pour y accéder, de nombreuses activités au sein de l’hôtel casino, restaurants, bowling, cinéma…
We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. We had Great service and enjoyed staying inside a theme park. The included breakfast was delicious. We paid extra for the Jozi historical gold mine tour and were glad we did. Going down in the gold mine and later up on the large Ferris wheel were both highlights for us.
