Borislav Milev, Bulgaria, 27 Oct 2009
Our stay at Purple Palms was very good. Very hospitable staff members. The rooms very immaculately clean. The environs, ie the gardens and the bar are nextto none. I have stayed at other lodges in SA, but yours is top of the list in terms of conditions. Keep it up. Will call again!
5/5 points!
