ACCOMMODATION: 5 STARS

Our room was equipped with all the modern amenities you would expect. Including a few extra surprises, such as the addition of USB ports in the wall sockets! The bedding was ultra-luxurious and the bed itself comfortable beyond belief. Bottled bedside water was also a welcomed surprise! The décor was gorgeous and set the mood for a night of relaxation and rejuvenating sleep!

Our room’s private balcony and seating area provided 180o views, an ideal area to enjoy their room service.

SPA: 5-STARS

The Blueberry Hill Hotel spa is second to none and offers treatment and facilities you would expect to find at a private high-end luxury day spa!

The staff’s knowledge of the treatments on offer was exceptional! The Spa is laid out with separate manicure and pedicure areas, three incredible jacuzzies, a huge steam room and multiple single and couple spa rooms! But the cherry on the top must be their ultra-luxurious special occasions couple’s spa room! Which we had the pleasure of enjoying!

TREATMENTS WE TRIED:

Guest are spoilt for choice when it comes to their wide range of indulgent treatments that include facials, tinting, waxing, massages, body treatments and so much more!

Anti Stress – Back, Neck, Shoulders and Indian Head Massage
This amazing treatment purely focused on the back, neck and shoulder areas to relieve the tension in these commonly overstressed muscles! The Indian head massage was a more relaxing holistic treatment that made use of acupressure massage to release additional stress! Leaving us feeling completely de-stressed, relaxed, and ready for action!

CONCLUSION

Blueberry Hill Hotel has an offering of world-class amenities and services at accessible prices. Whether you are staying for business or pleasure Blueberry Hill Hotel has it all!

Their phenomenal rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar is open to the public and is not only exclusive to guests, which makes it the ideal venue to celebrate a special occasion or simply as a destination for a mouthwatering meal with friends and family!

Our only criticism would be that their 5-star customer service makes it almost impossible to leave. But when you have to leave, you will not only leave with the luggage you arrived with, but you will also leave with happy memories!

COVID protocols are strictly adhered to and in so doing ensure the safety of its patrons and staff alike.

If you have not booked a stay and experienced the exceptional hotel yet, we highly recommend you do!
