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.

Beautiful Widerness
Rooms were clean. Staff friendly. Stayed on the ground floor with easy access to beach. Beautiful and convenient setting. Beach is also prestine with interesting rock pools and good fishing close by. Plenty to do in the area.

Outdated and run down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.

I like the fact that it is close to the beach. I didn't like the room cleanliness and lack of variety at breakfast.

Halal option in the Garden Route.
A beautiful location. The hotel is a bit dated but is an excellent option to explore the garden route from. Nice breakfast. Halal food services.

2/10 Poor

So disappointing. Pictures on website deceiving. Out-of-control school touring groups making noise all night.Smelly. Everything very run down. Totally disappointing. Stayed only 1 night then checked out early. Did not even stay for breakfast.

6/10 Good

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.

A shocker
Hotel needs attention: poor maintenance and in need of a general overhaul. Lights and extraction fan not working, tv fuzzy, no wireless connection in rooms, no sign of security and general management. Photographs on web page misleading. Avoid at all costs.

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!

Schöne Lage eines in die Jahre gekommenen Baus
Buchung und Rezeption funktionieren tadellos und sehr unkompliziert. Das Hotel selbst ist allerdings ein in die Jahre gekommener Betonklotz, der von der guten Lage und der glänzenderen Vergangenheit lebt. Für Gleitschirmflieger ist die Unterkunft genial, da man bei passendem Seewind direkt am Hotelrasen starten und landen kann, also quasi aus dem Bett in die Luft. Neutral als Hotel betrachtet sonst nicht unbedingt empfehlenswert.
