The location of the Mandela is close to the Prikley Bay Marina, a place with really great food, a fun bar, and a lot of different activities. The hotel itself is set up as a condo, which was unexpected from the descriptions and pictures. There is no front desk, the general manager is only in during certain times of the day (the cleaning staff let us is and we didn't speak with anyone for hours), and the room itself is structured as a live-in condo; complete with a full kitchen, dining area and living room. The room was spacious, clean, but not as comfortable or welcoming as anticipated. Would not recommend as a hotel option, as we stayed for only 1 night, but rather as a place to live for several weeks!
