The ocean view was wonderful from my room. Room service was not very effective- I'd place an order on their app, but the app wouldn't always update if the order had been received or not (it's supposed to update the user with this info). I was required to use my CC on the app, but when my food was delivered, they'd ask again for payment. All of this made me uncertain if my initial payments went through or not, or if I'd be paying twice for my meals. The room service personnel did say I could send a screenshot of my order to the front desk to alleviate this uncertainty. The staff was happy to confirm my room service orders every time I called them, but I'd typically have to call to follow up on my orders after placing them on the app. Other than that, everything was great! The staff and room service concierge were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

If you'd like to stay on a construction site with a team of under 20 rugby players, then this is the place for you !! This is the second time we stayed at the courtyard, first time my partner got food poisoning, but we though we'd give it another go. Big mistake - the place is being renovated and we were not informed. So many things wrong - the in room safe can just be lifted out and taken, no privacy hole in the door, no phone to front desk which would have been nice when the fire alarm went during our second night. Lounge closed. Gym closed. Pool (technically) closed. Lounge in the lobby and stunk of building materials. Restaurant, which we had to share with the rugby team, was a mess, disorganised and meals were well under what we would have expected for what we paid. The staff really didn't semm to care about the problems. So very disappointing, especially as this was a very special occasion for us. We had another 2 bookings for the courtyard as part of our SA trip this time and needless to say - both of which we cancelled and found far better accommodation. Will we stay at the courtyard on our next visit to SA? Good question but I thnk you know the answer !
