Review the louise Nice enough facilities but run by back packers mainly Awkward , difficult moments occur often, where staff are overwhelmed Our room was north facing so 6am sun streaming into bedroom around blinds (see pic taken at 6).facilities otherwise good. Clean. Tiny tv not in main room where bed is, but in side room. Gym laughable. Treadmills(2) so old and weak, when you stood on the moving mat, the Mat would stop because either the friction was too great or the motor was too weak. Both were the same. There was a stationary bike that was literally a low use domestic type of bike. I’m 6 foot three and looked like a monkey peddling it because it was so small. The fact that no Manager had ever checked them out or tried them themselves means the standard is just not Up2scratch I asked for a toothbrush because I forgot mine. I knew the answer before they told me. No The deal at the Louise is that it’s all inclusive. But if you have a cocktail like a Negroni, it’s $25. You can have a cheap house wine or a beer. I am unaware about something like a gin and tonic. Probably extra. At the prices you’re paying at this place. They should be giving you everything because the type of customer comes here doesn’t even drink much. No nuts or chips to snack on in room. Think these have to be ordered from the main desk At the degustation dinner, you have to continually ask for some more wine because the glasses were small and they were not eager to refill them. They also served a white one that was un drinkable by everyone, but we were told it was a Style and we didn’t appreciate it because it was six years old. In my 40 years of drinking wine, I never tasted anything like that. . It looks like a urine sample from a dehydrated person. I asked for some extra bread and I was told there was still one slice in the basket and before she asked the kitchen to make some more bread(apparently they baked it) would I take the last piece instead? My point for asking was that I didn’t want to take the last piece so there was still bread on the table All inclusive should be generously offered I always felt like I was asking for a little more Sadly Won’t be back

We had a fabulous stay at The Louise. On arrival we received warm towels and drinks, whilst reception gave us information about our stay. We had a lovely unit with all amenities, coffee, wine, port, soft drinks, tea, snacks, cheese and home made biscuits showing off local produce. The unit was amazing the view was relaxing and I was just disappointed it was too cool for the pool, but the sauna was warm. We had pre dinner drinks and starters and then a degustation menu with wine pairing. Loved everything, except the dessert, just not to my taste but hubby enjoyed seconds. Got back to our room with a calming oil burning in the diffuser and chamomile tea laid out ready for hot water and pouring. Not a Chamomile tea girl a left a note for staff the next evening as I hate waste and did mention a French Earl Grey was more to my liking before bed, and night two it was there. The staff were fabulous the stay was wonderful, just wish I could have afforded another night or two. Thanks to all the staff who made this an experience we will never forget.
