We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, our highlight was dinner and drinks at the Flames Restaurant. But sadly the spa treatments let us down. The treatments were not relaxing at all and my skin feels traumatised after the facial. Also, be aware of the treatment prices, they’re not advertised on the spa service menu, but for reference, the facial is R2800, and a massage is R2000, for a below-average experience. Booking at the spa is my biggest regret. I would not recommend it. At the restaurant, we booked the Celebration Package for our anniversary, where our dinner was included in our stay, Dinner was amazing! After dinner we settled our drinks bill, and headed back to our room. At 11pm, while we were sleeping, the restaurant waiter knocked at our door (even though we had the privacy sign up to get some sleep) and said we must sign for our food bill, I told him to please leave it with reception to look at the next morning. At check-out we were given our final bill that included R2000 for dinner, i questioned this as it was supposed to be included in our package. The receptionist then picked up a 2nd, already printed out bill (the correct one) that was on her desk, and we finally settled that. It all seemed a little dodgy, so please be aware of being over-charged this when you visit.…

I decided to surprise my husband for his 50th birthday and booked a “staycation” at the four seasons. From the time I called the reservation Manager Betty until the time we departed the hotel , we were made to feel special. The staff were all friendly, strict Covid protocols were followed . Our Suite had a beautiful view overlooking JHB, the bathroom was large with very good water pressure . There were tea and coffee making facilities in room and ample water bottles. They went the extra mile to put a few little touches to make my husbands birthday even better. A chocolate board was put in our room upon arrival and at turn down roses and decoration on the bed. We ate lunch at the Flames Resturant and breakfast there too and the food was fresh, well presented and of a high quality. I was not mad about the bathroom shampoo, conditioner and body wash products but the vetiver smell is not very ones taste. All in all it was a memorable stay. We were made to feel special and the hotel staff really tried to do their utmost best making it a fabulous stay. The four seasons is the four seasons and they lived up to their reputation. …
