Myself and Keith - my husband, arrived at the hotel and we were greeted by friendly and courteous staff. Our check-in was smooth and efficient while sipping complimentary champagne. Our luggage was taken to the room by a chatty and informative bellhop. The room was fabulous. Spotlessly clean and large enough for an entire family! The sumptuous bath, the large soft king-size bed, and two TV's both able to view different channels. The bathroom had two basins, taking into account that a couple, no matter how much they try, will always have more bathroom items than you have at home (in our case its my husband as I carry all my camera and technology kit!)

 

We filtered out onto the property to enjoy an afternoon and evening of glitz and glamour...The Soulstice spa was our first stop and we lazed around in the pools. The hydro pool inside was warm and again I appreciated that there wasn't the usual Spa music (I would rather listen to Prince and David Bowie than that whispy music!). Soulstice reserve that for the actual massage rooms so we could chat and have fun while floating in the pools. The inside pool has a great view of the Silverstar piazza. Downside was it also overlooks the yard of the Thai restaurant which is filled with debris.

 

Not to be deterred, Keith and I then decided to try the outside pool and delighted to find it warmer than the inside one and filled with jets. We tried them all. It should be open to hotel guests to use the pool facilities as the Silverstar Hotel pool is tantalizingly close to the Spa. We noticed that the pool bar is perfectly situated between the two making it convenient to take your cocktail into the spa or Hotel.

 

Soon it was time for the Movies. We were quite excited and couldn't believe how cheap the popcorn was - R23 for a Large Box and under R50 for a movie ticket if you have a Silverstar Card. Great seating ... we could sit anywhere.

 

Then of course was the wide choice of restaurants. We couldn't decide and eventually settled on Vigour and Verve. Superb cuisine and great service. I am fairly critical when it comes to service and delivery and yet so far we had nothing to complain about. Everyone went out of their way to just be nice. I threw a curve ball to see if they would cater to my strange combinations...Curry and spaghetti...and sure enough it was served with a smile and I loved every mouthful.
