Unpleasant experience
First of all they only had one key to the room. This was never communicated to me until Sunday when evening when I found my room the way I left in the morning. I engaged them and only then I found out that I was supposed to leave my key with them. No cutlery, cups glasses in the room for coffee and or eating at night. I requested a breakfast pack on Saturday night for Sunday morning as I was going to run Comrades Marathon at 05h00 and was told that's not possible. Their contact number on their website doesn't work and they confirmed this when I finally managed to get hold of them after hours of standing outside at night before I check in. It was really unpleasant experience

I felt mislead upon arrival.
On arrival. The apartment and establishment was not very clean. Not sure if it is rated 3star,as this was not apparent. Security Gate was out of order and fixed 3days later. The establish is poorly maintained. Microwave not kept clean. However the position is beautiful and we note the place was starting to be uplifted upon reporting to the manager. Trust

Cleanliness needs attention
It was an overnight stop.....floors were grimy, cold showers, i suggest u take your own towels, fridge was dirty....breakfast tables were not cleaned...pool loungers were dirty. We came in late and there was no parking available for us. The amazing view and location is the only thing we were happy about

Arriving at Bentley on the beach, standing +- 20 minutes in front of the house waiting for someone to open the gate as there are no bell to ring. Phoned the office number 6 times and no answer. Asked another visitor on the deck where reception is and how to get in, he said park in front of the gate and lay on your horn they will open eventually. Walls in the bathroom are not clean, can see hand and dirty marks. Bed was nice to sleep on and must say breakfast was good.
