Pearl Valley Hotel by Mantis

We stayed for 4 nights and were playing golf there. Rooms are spacious with nice views. Comfortable beds and pillows. Rooms are clean. Security access is as described stupid. You could just give the access codes. Breakfast is good and you will get a proper meal+ drink for included price that is 180zar pp. Golf is very expensive. Worth it ofcourse but very expensive. These were the most expensive rounds we played in SA. Still would recommend as a must play course. In conclusion it was a very good stay and would definately visit again if we ever come back.

This hotel is an absloute beauty! Every morning i woukd sit on my balcony with my french press coffee and a cigar and just take the views of the mountains and the fresh air all in. My arrival and welcome were handled professionally, Bronwin made sure of that. It was a wonderful short stay that im sure has added a few years to my lifespan! Truly wonderful.

Amazing surroundings and on the world-class golf course. There is a spa called Camelot that is fantastic with wonderful staff! The main dining area is very good with wonderful views. The area is very spread out and you may have to do some walking to get to places.

Loved the apartment we got. Very spacious with plenty of light. Rooms had air conditioning however common sitting area didn’t have air condition. There was a small spare room in the apartment which could have easily fit a washing machine and dryer and been converted to a laundry room. The kitchenette was fully equipped. Bathrooms were clean. Food at the restaurant was very nice and staff very friendly especially Rohan who went out of his way to ensure our food would be served on time to us. Set on a golf course and not far from many of the well known wineries

I have stayed here before, reviewed the hotel, and this is a followup on other experiences. Not all is great. Complain portion at the bottom. Gym: Top facilities for a hotel gym. Everything you need in a gym. Backs Restaurant: Great little restaurant if you have a short stay (less than 5-days). Would be great for a “larger” menu offering at breakfast. Only a couple of options. But food overall good. Unfortunately the main restaurant is closed for renovations and that puts pressure on “Backs” yet again for dinner options. Still good food but limited menu. Entrance to the estate: Ridiculous! It is a time consuming exercise. Stop, where you going? cell phone number, scan driving licence and disc. Such a terrible process. For a world class resort, your systems must surely be able to cater for one code (entrance and exit) during your stay. You know when we depart so why not give one code for entrance and exit during this time? Don’t say it is for security and my (and residents) safety. Security should always be a priority but this is just a bad and inconvenient process. I stayed for 3-weeks and to follow this every time, twice a day, is just ridiculous. There is better ways! Unfortunately the complaints about the access procedure has been coming for years (as I read the reviews) and still it has not changed. Golf: Would still like to play (and review) but not at the requested rate. I have played at many other courses (of same quality) and they are just as good and exclusive but not this expensive. But Still a great stay Will go back

Excellent service and very friendly environment. I want especialy to praise the team at the Back's restaurant who met me with a smile every morning. They were charming and very helpful. Always ready and in a good mood even when t it was very busy.
