The Place overall is very nice. The receptionist Fifi was very very helpful. All the staff are respectful and very helpful, the come and clean everyday, which is a nice break for us when on holiday ##### Avril Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank 11 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience 10/10 The staff were really Helpful especially Kele who assisted me in switching rooms.

Fantastic stay. Highly recommended, especially for the price. Only thing is the shower is one of these where you can't close it all the way, so the bathroom floor tends to get wet, and the taps are a bit finicky. The shower head is also not great. But other than the shower, really nice, neat, comfortable little chalet, with air con, tv, braai, full kitchen ,wi-fi, and enough to do to keep the family busy for a good 3 nights. ##### Fabricio Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### mark jansen van vuren 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### Renovation The room was clean, but its been used to the extent that it need renovation ##### mark jansen van vuren Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 31 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Disgusting state of the Chalet's in the resort. The Chalet was in a poor state. The lounge furniture was dirty, kitchen cabinets broken, curtains were torn on the rails. Overall state was that of a building that the owner was neglected. Cant believe they expect someone to pay and stay in a Chalet!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Major 10 Nov 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Reconnect with nature I understand that those are old designed chalets, but they need to be kept in good condition. The interior infrastructure seem to be dilapidated and not taken care of. The sheets are clean but not up to the standard I had expected for such a place. Be that as it may, I enjoyed my stay and it allowed me to reconnect with the nature. ##### Major Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Linda 4 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Your front desk staff is badly trained and dont have a clue what is going on in the hotel booking system. This includes your front desk manager as even she did not know which rooms are available and which is not. the excuse was. We dont know which rooms are cancelled and which are not. That tells me they dont have access or they dont care or they dont want to do the effort. So I was told the hotel is fully booked. Then when I showed them on line it is not and that I can book a room, then all of a sudden there was a room available ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALEXIA 19 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Loved it What a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend. Staff at the Hotel were amazingly friendly and professional. From Reception to room service to breakfast staff just outstanding!! The Auqua Dome was VERY disappointing. The staff open when they want to. Literally an hour after the board signs says and online times. The only slide is not always open as the life guard wants to chat to his friends so closes and opens at random. If you ask him to use the slide he will tell you in 20 minutes. ##### ALEXIA Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thrishen 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Loads of potential I would say the hotel is satisfactory and in definite need of an upgrade. The bedding and bed were awesome but the walls, decor, furniture all need updating. The aircon is loud and noisy and the hotel should perhaps in solar etc. as the aircon does not work when there is load shedding. A lot of the TV channels did not have sound, and the shower door did not close. I think for the price you pay, you can expect more. Thanks ##### Thrishen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Raeesa 28 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Emerald Resort Units need a few more basic items The accommodation should atleast cater for a place to hang wet washing since the Aquadome is one of the main features Also just basic items in the unit, there is no broom or mop so after housekeeping cleans if the place gets dirty, you dont have anything to clean up with. Water from shower comes out right till the kitchen floor and nothing available to mop it ##### Raeesa Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mpho 30 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome stay We really enjoyed to be at Emerald .
