We arrived at the Jacaranda Hotel after an excellent flight with BA. The reception we received was freindly and affable. Welcoming soft drinks and and friendly smiles before being shown to our room. Twin bedded but clean and servicable which was all that we expected plus an excellent breakfast in the morning. We stayed for 3 nights prior to our... more

It also very expensive for what you get...i stayed for 4 nights and moved to another hotel (wassini) and would not... more

There is building work going on by the pool and it is noisy during the day, but no problem at night. The staff are friendly and even escorted us across the road to... more
