A small gym and multiple room categories add practical depth for longer business or family stays.

How we would book Cresta Lodge
If pool/garden time matters, request a room location that suits the outdoor areas. Families should compare suites against multiple rooms. Business travellers should check whether breakfast and airport transfer are included. For more boutique romance choose Amanzi or York; for central landmark luxury choose Hyatt Regency.
Why we’d book it
- Two pools and gardens.
- Refreshed 171-room property.
- Multiple food-and-drink venues.
- Good business/family crossover.
Trade-offs
