"Shibula was a wonderful retreat when the Klomp family owned it- we visited twice.Now it is very disappointing. The highlights were the waiters- friendly always, the ranger, Janie, very exceptional with kbnowledge of plants, trees, animals environment etc.....No maintenance, little managerable guidance and the food???The spa was as far as we are concerned non Operational."
