My stay at Majeka House was enjoyable overall, with excellent service and a calming atmosphere. However, I encountered a few issues that detracted from the experience, such as the need for some upgrades in the room and the Wi-Fi being inconsistent. The spa experience was genuinely relaxing, and the breakfast spread was delicious and plentiful.

Rooms

The room was spacious and comfortable, but it could use some TLC. I noticed some wear and tear, and the shower had issues with water pressure despite its multiple settings. Additionally, the towels felt a bit worn out, which could be improved for a more luxurious feel.

Service

While the general level of service was friendly and polite, I had an issue with communication regarding transport that left me feeling a bit unsettled. One staff member provided mixed messages about transportation to a winery, and there seemed to be some disorganization in fulfilling requests outside the norm.
