"It was a great place to stay to be close to our event we did there. Our room had issues with the shower drain not going down fast enough, so water got all over the bathroom floor. The AC vent flap wouldn't stay up so we had to use thick paper to shove in the side to help it stay up."

"We had a most marvellous break from the rat race of Johannesburg. Peace and quiet notwithstanding it was school holidays. Breakfast was a buffet of every one would expect and much much more. The staff were amazing. I am currently looking at the calendar to find another break time to be enjoyed at the Pearl. I am 71 and my girlfriend is 58. We both had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the restaurants on the premises. Thank you guys."
