The Residence

The hotel is in the upscale Houghton area but I still wouldn't feel safe walking around it! We spent a night in the hotel before flying back to the UK. The hotel’s car picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and the driver efficiently sorted out where to meet our handler. Very impressed with the service. The hotel has a sizable footprint set in lovely gardens with two swimming pools and other pools with fish and running water. Very relaxing. We had a suite in the annex which came with its own hot tub and terrace. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The décor is colonial with an eclectic twist, sometime it worked but other times it looked a bit tacky! We enjoyed a pre dinner drink in the well stocked bar and chose local cuisine for our meal which made a nice change and was good to try something more traditional. The price of food is on the steep side compared to where else we stayed. There was a good choice for breakfast with a cold buffet and hot food to order. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only issue was with the safe which malfunctioned but they lent us a key so we could leave our valuables there. An oasis ideal for a night or two to chill out.

This hotel sets the standard for all others. Our spa experience here was nothing less than perfection.
