“Heaven on Earth”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

There's really no other way to describe Kings Camp .... it's heaven on earth. Full Stop. End of Story. All the staff there are warm and friendly, caring, helpful to the utmost degree, and all of this is not an effort for any of them - it comes naturally. We felt at home, and part of an easy-going, exceptional family.... More

Kings Camp is nothing short of mind blowing AND what sets it apart is the consistency, an area where many 5 star hotels and resorts fall down. What this means...well the staff love working there. On arrival we we're led to our... More
