This hotel is ideal for a family holiday. We had a great time. Both Robberg and Central Beach were on our door step. The staff were very helpful and friendly. More

A memorable experience as we reminisce over our long weekend stay at this unique location. A pleasant surprise as we entered the newly renovated rooms, tastefully done with a stunning view of Robberg beach. The rooms come equipped with a bar fridge and kettle, which really comes in handy especially with the appetites of our kids, who were kept busy... More

This hotel has been recently renovated and the rooms are stunning. A place to do as much as you want or just relax as dolphins dance through the waves while you leisure by the pool. Really recommend a stay or even drink in the bar with stunning sea views. More

When I first went to the Beacon Isle more than 10 years ago, I didn't much care for it, but over the years, and particularly since it's major renovation last year, I've really come to appreciate this resort. Refurbished with clean and modern lines (although the bathrooms are a little cramped), the service levels have been raised and staff are... More

We have just spent a week in Plettenberg Bay and the holiday was idyllic. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the staff pleasant. There are a number of restaurants with upper moderate prices and moderately good food (do not buy the ridiculously expensive muffins!). However, more than excellent restaurants and coffee houses in the town. One of the lounge areas... More

We stayed here the first week in February and must say that it has definately improved from when we stayed there 10 years ago. The staff were very helpful even parking our car. My suitcase somehow got damaged and I was concerned about getting it back to the UK with my clothes still inside. The mainenance department kindly repaired it... More

Having never having been there before, I left saying " Now why did we never bring our children here???" (OK so we had a holiday house closer to home.) Stunning location. Magnificent beaches next door.... but you don't have to leave the premises to have a good time. Several restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools plus entertainment plus lots for the... More

Recently stayed there through a timeshare exchange. I seriously think they need to change their chef as most of the food is really substandard. They do not tell you when checking in that you cannot sign for food and drinks and that all catering is outsourced and whats more they do not advise you that you can purchase a prepaid... More

We used our time share points for this destination. It rarely comes up as available but when it does you should take advantage. Its location is superb and Plettenberg is a good location for a week's relaxation. Plettenberg golf course is excellent as are many local restaurants. Would not recomment Plett Bay Game Reserve though - most of the animals... More

We spent the last week in a suite at the Beacon Island and I cannot rate it highly enough. The suite is huge and when we stood on one of our three balconies we were literally hanging over the water with waves crashing on rocks under us. The shower overlooks the water and is in effect, an outdoor shower with... More
