This isn’t me being overly effusive, I’m a Virgo, I’m critical by nature, but there is simply nothing to fault here. NOTHING! Back in the UK I do a hotel inspector job on the side of my main job. I get to stay in various places in the UK and sometimes abroad consisting of accommodation at mainly 4-5* level. This place blows them all out of the water. I put my...

"We stayed at the Cinnamon Boutique for three nights, using the hotel as a base to explore the Garden Route. Although we used the hotel as a base, we could have easily have spent more time around the hotel pool. The hotel room was very clean, large and comfortable. We chose a room that had large patio windows which opened onto an upstairs balcony. The rooms had a “luxury” feel about them. Breakfast was great...everything you could ask for. We could not fault the hotel accommodation. Please note,...
