We were very excited and looking forward to our stay at Santè Hotel and Spa. We have heard many great things about the hotel from friends but non of these things turned out to be true.  The best way to deal with the disappointments is to make a snag list. The only reason I am doing this is so that... More

If you have someone you wish to exterminate, take them along to Sante for a night. The place is rotting, stinks and is falling apart. There is damp all over the walls, and for this pleasure they will charge you R2500. If you whine and complain they may reduce the fee by R500 as they did with me, but it... More

My Husband and I stayed in a Spa Suite in October 2011. The room was lovely, very homely with a fireplace and kitchenette. The bathroom had underfloor heating and the shower was spacious. There was also a lovely bath tub that has views of the mountains. The room was clean. I did complain about the bedding on the 1 double... More

We arrived at the resort after a 3 hour flight and a 1 hour drive. The staff at reception were unfriendly, did not greet or smile at us. Be booked into a 4 bedroom villa. To my disappointment, the villa was dusty and untidy with cob webs and centipedes at all corners. The pool was littered with leaves. On day... More

I tried to redeem a voucher and at the time of my first call the staff was on training. Things looked promising as there seemed to be space for the day that I wanted. However, back and forth we went, I left messages, I even tried to book via email (I'm still waiting for a response....and waiting....) just to be... More

Midst the chaos of... More

We booked to go to the hotel as we were going to a wedding in Stellenbosch on the Saturday – we thought we would make a romantic weekend out of it and used 4 vouchers which I bought for just under R4000 to stay for 2 nights - vallues at 14,200 ZAR! When I made the booking I made it... More

We spent two days at the beginning of April in a Manor Suite, which was very spacious and comfortable and had wonderful views of the surrounding mountains, vineyards and vlei area with it's bird and insect life. This place is so peaceful and tranquil and there is a general sense of quiet in abundance everywhere - around the pool, in... More

We had vouchers for accommodation at Sante, and I wasn't too sure what to expect, as sometimes one is treated as a bit of a second-rate citizen with vouchers. However, it could not have been a better experience. We absolutely loved the hotel and the spa, found it incredibly relaxing and I think it is the nicest place I have... More
