Where do cheating lovers go?

Cheating couples are no longer going for the cheap, dodgy motels.

According to Cheaters website AshleyMadison.com, cheating lovers now favour ‘high-end haunts’ to conduct their affair trysts.

A poll conducted with over 6500 South African cheaters registered as members on the infamous dating site showed that that 67% elect to conduct an affair in a hotel room and reveals that most choose luxurious ones where they can discreetly conduct their shenanigans. 

The survey found that The Mount Nelson in Cape Town, was the most popular choice for adulterers.

 Nothing says "you're so special to me" like booking a hotel room for a sexy time, right? Well, it seems the picture of a dimming vacant sign at the seedy motel down the road isn't really how cheaters cheat these days.  Those with a wandering eye aren't afraid to splurge on their misbehaving.

The poll revealed which hotels were their go-to spots for their, err, extra-curricular activities, and mostly high-end haunts made the Top10  list. 

However all was not lost for the more affordable places. Budget chains like City Lodge and Holiday Inn made in the Top15.

 “Personalised and prompt service matters when time may be your enemy,” says Noel Biderman, founder & CEO of AshleyMadison.com. 

“Especially when one’s spouse expects you home at a certain time, and the hotels that made the Top 10 list are well-know for their discreetness, another key factor for infidels when selecting a hotel to conduct their affair.”

Here are the hotels mentioned in the poll:

1.           Mount Nelson (Cape Town)

2.           Singita Boulders Lodge (Mpumalanga)

3.           Fairlawns (Sandton)

4.           The Oyster Box Hotel (Umhlanga, Durban)

5.           Cape Grace (V & A Waterfront, Cape Town)

6.           Vineyard Hotel & Spa (Newlands, Cape Town)

7.           Fairmont Zimbali Lodge (KZN)

8.           The Michaelangelo (Sandton)

9.           Ngala Game Reserve (Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga)

10.        Pezula Resort Hotel and Spa (Knysna)
