The staff at the hotel were just fantastic people and very patient. The rooms were very clean plus the housekeeping staff do not hesitate to help when asked.

The best thing about the Sarova is the staff. Everyone eager to help you and welcome you. The spa treatments were wonderful with Pamela and Caroline. Kelvin was the best waiter and Stanley handled a large group well. Our main problem was the lobby only holds 10 people so there isn’t a place to hold meetings. Fortunately the weather was good and we met outside at the poolside restaurant.

What a great hotel and hotel chain! From check in to check out the front house staff make you feel welcome. Benson was amazing as was everyone in the hotel. At the Pool Bar we had a great time and the staff are wonderful, as was the main restaurant staff. I really recommend the Tulia Spa. We had 2 treatments, the Tulia Ritual and a 1 hour massage each. Sheila was amazing!! She is sweet welcoming and professional with magic hands. I was lucky to have her for my 2 treatments and my mom for 1 and we both agreed that it was the best massage of our lives. She is very special the the Panafric is lucky to have her. We really enjoyed our stay!
