Two New Suites

Our lastest development at Casa Rex is the imminent opening of two new Courtyard Suites which will provide guests with the luxury of 5 star accommodation but still with the signatory personal touch they have come to expect from Sol Resorts hotels
16-Sep-08
 Each new Courtyard Suite will have an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, minibar, tea & coffee making facilities, ADSL wireless internet access and unsurpassed ocean views.

We are planning a painting session of the shade cloth with some of the kids from the orphanage (and the volunteers of African Encounter) within the next two weeks (new volunteers arriving next week and that will be their first assignment). We are going to paint the shade cloth as a garden (continuation of our garden). This will cover the construction site more and might be a wonderful happening for us, our guests, volunteers and most of all, all the kids.    




WELCOME TO CASA REX

Regulars at Casa Rex might speak of the homely, world class accommodation, with air conditioning, wireless internet access and the individual style of each of our family rooms and suites.

Our professional staff would outline the conveniences - laundry, airport shuttles, secure parking - then tell you about our elegant pool, the terrace overlooking the harbour and offshore islands, and our popular a la carte restaurant, with its fresh seafood and imported wines. with full A la Carte menu available for Lunch & Dinner offering a combination of cuisines.
We concentrate on sourcing local, fresh produce and as a result several of our dishes use seafood caught in the tropical waters just off shore and our divine peri peri chicken is testimony to the incorporation of our Portuguese heritage.
