Absolutely wonderful stay at Premier Resort Sani Pass. Will definitely be visiting.

Enjoyed every minute. Room was comfortable and of a high standard, and we had the most amazing views of the mountain. We were fortunate that it was snowing during our stay, which made our trip extra special.

Die omgewing is asemrowend mooi!

Ons was nie baie gelukkig met die aandete nie, hul het aangedui dat daar 2 sittings was maar nie aangedui wanneer wie met watter sitting eet nie, ons het gewag en met die 2de sitting aangekom, die meeste mense wat toe met die 1ste sitting daar, hul was nie gereed om ons te bedien nie, daar was nie meer van al die kos beskikbaar nie, dit was glad nie vir ons 'n lekker ervaring nie, ek sou dink dat hul moet aandui wie wanneer moet eet, die ontbyt die volgende oggend was egter baie lekker.

The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful!

We were not very happy with the dinner, they indicated that there were 2 sittings but did not indicate when who eats with which sitting, we waited and arrived with the 2nd sitting, most people who then with the 1st sitting there, they were not ready to serve us, there was no more of all the food available, it was not a nice experience for us at all, I would think that they should indicate who should eat when, the breakfast the next morning was very nice though.

Heerlik maar duur.

Behalwe vir geen warm badwater, net lou, was dit heerlik, dit was ook duur.

Delicious but expensive.

Apart from no hot bath water, only lukewarm, it was delicious, it was also expensive.

Die badwater is bruin en koud so bad of stort is nie baie plesierig nie.

Van die personeel in die eetsaal is uiters onbeskof. Dit was so 'n bietjie van 'n teleurstelling, maar overall was dit baie lekker. Daar is 'n ouerige man, wat by die buffet help wat nie weet om met gaste te praat nie. Dieselfde vir 'n groterige man wat ook agter die buffet werk. Andersins was dit 'n memorable kuier.

The bath water is brown and cold so bath or shower is not very pleasant.

Some of the staff in the dining hall are extremely rude. It was a bit of a disappointment, but overall it was very nice. There is an elderly man who helps at the buffet who doesn't know how to talk to guests. The same for a larger man who also works behind the buffet. Otherwise it was a memorable visit.

Very welcoming, wonderful breakfast and amazing women who gave us a memorable full body hot rock massage.

Wonderfully welcoming with a choice of lovely open log fire lounges. Excellent breakfast. Bedroom comfortable and clean, but bathroom seemed unfinished with refurbishing. Excellent relaxing environment.

Baie lekker gebly en geëet. Kos is baie goed.

Goeie blyplek om Sanipas te gaan ry. Die omgewing is mooi in die herfs en die museum in Himeville is 'n moet om te besoek. Bly, slaap en eet kon ons nie fout mee vind. Daar is baie om te doen by die hotel self ook. Aanbeveel.

Gaan ry Sani Pas!

Klein juweel, 'n moet om die pas te ry voor dit dalk geteer word. Die kos kan effens beter wees. Kort ekstra personeel wat die masserings kan doen.

Go ride Sani Pass!

Little gem, a must to drive the pass before it might be tarred. The food could be slightly better. Short of extra staff who can do the massages.

Ligging is ideaal om omgewing te verken.

Kry egter die gevoel die hotel is ingestel op die oorsese toeris wat tariewe aanbetref. Nogal duur akkommodasie vir plaaslike toeris. Teleurgesteld in aandete. Andersins lekker gebly en naby die Sani-pas wat dit 'n goeie keuse maak.

Location is ideal for exploring surroundings.

However, get the feeling the hotel is geared towards the overseas tourist when it comes to rates. Quite expensive accommodation for local tourist. Disappointed in dinner. Otherwise nice stay and close to the Sani pass which makes it a good choice.

Baie mooi plek wat heelwat aanbied om te doen vir 'n gesin. Diens kon beter wees.

Die hotel was baie skoon en netjies alhoewel die meubels nogal ouerig is, maar kamers lekker groot. Uitsig oor die berge was pragtig, ontbyt en aandete baie lekker. Die diens in die koffie winkel/kroeg area kon beslis beter wees. Ons het gehoor by ander gaste dat daar onlangs nuwe bestuur aangestel is en die personeel is baie ongelukkig daaroor. Dit was duidelik sigbaar in van die personeel in die kroeg area. Die Wellness Centre Spa was ongelooflik lekker - beste massage wat ons nog gehad het!

Not at all what was advertised on the internet.

We paid the most expensive R2800 for 2 nights for 2 adults. Our room was extremely poor for the price. Last upgraded in the 80s. Bathroom reminds me of ablution facilities at campsites, bathtub overpainted and rough. No aircon. No comfortable bedding. The main building and dining room were very impressive, but we only stayed 1 night and the next night instead went to sleep at Protea hotel with beautiful facilities, aircon, underfloor heating, very durable interior and bedding...for R850 per night for 2 adults.

Beautiful hotel. Just a pity no family rooms.

Apart from the lack of family rooms, refurbished garden cottages, or hotel rooms with inter leading doors, the hotel is beautiful. What can I say about Sani Pass Hotel? Well run, friendly staff, clean, refurbished, world-class food, excellent and friendly waitrons, beautiful location. All in all a lovely getaway. Unfortunately though I wouldnt really recommend this hotel to families with slightly older kids who are not quite teenagers yet. Our kids (9 & 10) are too big to sleep on the double sleeper couch in our room, but we weren't too happy for them to sleep alone in their own locked room down the corridor, even if it was just next door. An inter leading door would be very easy to install, and I believe should have been done during the recent renovations (though they do cater mainly for corporate clients). I believe they are refurbishing the family garden cottages at the moment. This certainly would solve our dilemma in future as it is a lovely hotel that we would go back to, but only if they have family-friendly rooms.

Wonderskone ligging, heerlike verblyf, goeie diens.

Die personeel was altyd vriendelik, gasvry en bereid om te help. Die ligging is fantasties, en die restaurant kan werklik aanbeveel word. Daar is tekens van verval by die buitegeboue, maar die hoofgebou was baie netjies.

Great staff, very good hotel. Stay spoilt slightly by the lack of wheelchair facilities

The hotel is very well run and all the staff very kind and helpful. My only complaint was that the hotel is not at all wheelchair friendly. We asked for and was given one of the two "wheelchair friendly' rooms. Unfortunately, you have to go down a set of stairs to reach the restaurant, bars and lounges in the main complex. And there are no alternatives, like a lift or ramp, to use to reach these facilities. So each night my wife had to be carried up these stairs - but as I said before, the staff were brilliant and did it with no complaint. The bathroom had a shower that was not enclosed, which meant the water sprayed onto the surrounding tiles, making them slippery and dangerous. There is no seat or support rails in the shower either, so I am not sure how they expect a fully disabled person to use this facility. They are building a new entertainment area next to the pool, which is down a steep hill. I hope they give some consideration as to how the disabled and the elderly guests will reach this area.

Wonderful location, charming staff, great potential but still a way to go

Once the hotel realizes its considerable potential it will be a wonderful, value for money resort with a range of activities and leisure opportunities to suit all ages and tastes. At present its public rooms are superb, the staff are a delight and the bedrooms spacious but possibly a tad low on quality especially the cottages that are still to be renovated. And of course the mountainous surroundings are magnificent. The kitchen staff appear to be most competent although their dining fare is lacking in the range of choices one would expect. One minor grudge is the quite exorbitant price for the very ordinary wines they have on offer. 3-4 times bottle store prices is a rip off and there are few if any quality wines on offer.
