Pros. The tents are OK, no a/c The pool is a hood amenity

Cons. They tried to pass me another food bill instead of mine. I only realised when I told out driver (local). He went back with me and they returned the money extra they had charged (around 2000 R). This is not professional nor welcoming for another visit.
