Very disappointing experience. We booked and were confirmed, and charged for a 2 bedroomed apartment. On arrival we were shown to a 1 bedroomed apartment. Told that there was a problem with the other one's geyser. No forward notification! Then, no wifi in apartment and TV had no reception. The manager, Elma never made an appearance during the 2 days we were there. Carmen was amazing and did her best to rectify all the issues. No word of apology from Elma.. All the other staff were great but we were stuck in the wrong apartment. Manager / staff should at least check that everything works in the accommodation before guests arrive! Very frustrating and we are unlikely to return or recommend to anyone else. Breakfast was fine but nothing special.

It was a short two nights stay. Staf was very friendly and helpful. I was greeted every time they see me. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Cleanliness in rooms very good and rooms were serviced. There was Lovely white Linnen on the beds. Perfect shower! It was a lovely stay. Thank you.

Ok we were 15 minutes late but they did not keep our reservation. The previous day we had made a reservation but called well in advance to inform the restaurant that we would not make it. The maitre’d actually told us very impolitely to basically F off and find another restaurant, and under his breath said everywhere is full. WRONG. This guy should fired. I will NEVER go back and as a home owner in Montagu I will inform the many people I know here to boycott this place. Actually the attitude was unbelievable.

We made a reservation at Mimosa and requested and received confirmation that the menu was as per advertised at the entrance to the restaurant. On arrival we were handed the evenings menu to discover that it included only a scant few of the advertised menu items. Only two steaks, no burgers, two starters, two deserts and on and on - so a very poor start to our dinner further exacerbated by poor and understaffed service. The staff exhibited little knowledge of the menu items so we were ill advised on what to expect. We were informed that the side salad was a Greek salad which it was not, the fish was dry and swimming in an undisclosed puddle and the rump steak arrived in two chunks, one of which was predominantly gristle. The Risotto was simply a pile of tasteless dry rice. We declined deserts as not worth the risk.
This restaurant was recently relaunched as a Grill Room which supposedly would offer great food at reasonable prices so as to be attractive to locals as well as visitors - it has failed miserably and the standard of fare is little short of disgusting.
