The resort is set in a stunning location with breathtaking views, and the chalets are well-decorated and spacious. However, several issues with maintenance, staff training, and service efficiency detracted from my overall experience. Despite the beautiful surroundings, the need for improvements in various areas, including the bar service, prevents me from giving a higher rating.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, which was clean and had plenty of activities for kids, making it a perfect family getaway. The kitchen was well stocked, and the breakfast offered a good selection. However, I did notice that some facilities seemed outdated and could use improvement. Overall, it was a nice weekend break, but there's room for enhancement in certain areas.

Staying at Alpine Heath Resort was a mix of relaxation and fun for my family. The picturesque views and family-friendly amenities made our time enjoyable, but the service lapses and some facility issues really impacted our experience. Overall, while we had a great time, there's definitely room for improvement in certain areas.

Our chalet was clean and comfortable with breathtaking views of the mountains. However, we found the lack of air conditioning a bit problematic, especially during particularly hot days.
Service

While the staff were generally supportive, I experienced significant delays in receiving basic supplies. I had to reach out multiple times without any response until much later, which dampened my impression of their service.

The resort is beautifully situated in the Ukhuhlamba Drakensberg mountains, providing amazing scenery and good family activities. However, it could be challenging to move around, especially with a stroller due to some areas not being very wheelchair accessible.

The dining options were hit or miss. The menu was limited during our stay, and while the few meals we had were quite good, overall dining experience was below expectations.

The resort offers great amenities such as a pool, bar, and various activities. However, the pool could definitely benefit from heating, and our chalet would feel much better with air conditioning.

We had a lovely family getaway where the kids enjoyed the pool and activities throughout the day. The staff was fantastic and made the stay enjoyable, but the accommodation was a bit basic and needed some improvements. The dining experience varied; while the bring-and-braai night was great, the pizza place fell short with confusing service and disappointing food. Overall, it's a good choice for families, but there's room for enhancement.

I had an amazing time at Alpine Heath Resort! The clean, spacious rooms offered breathtaking views, and I loved the variety of activities available for my family, including hiking and horse riding. However, I was disappointed with the inconsistency in service from some staff members, which detracted from the overall experience. Also, a heated indoor pool would greatly enhance the amenities offered.
