8.0/10

I had a fantastic experience at this park hotel! The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, making it perfect for a comfortable family getaway. The location felt like a slice of nature, with plenty of outdoor activities available. On the downside, we found it a bit challenging to walk back from the activities with kids, and some of the dining options could use improvement. However, the kids loved the splash pool and the resort's amenities, making it a memorable stay!

The hotel boasts beautiful lawns and an interesting boat trip. However, our experience was marred by issues such as non-functional safes, cleanliness problems in the room, and unresponsive service. The upkeep of the fishing areas and chalets needs attention as well.

We had a fantastic time at Magalies Park! The resort offers beautiful surroundings, and the golf course was in excellent condition. The staff was super helpful and pleasant, making our stay even better. The only downside was the early morning maintenance noise if you're near the golf course. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway with great facilities and activities.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. On one hand, the facilities are well-maintained with beautiful gardens and multiple pools. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, and I was disappointed by the lack of special attention for my daughter's birthday. Overall, while the resort has potential, it fell short in customer service, especially given the price we paid.
