Fantastic place! Great location and minutes walk to what is a fantastic beach. We were really impressed with how spacious and clean the suite was when we arrived, the room was also serviced daily to a really good standard. The staff were really friendly during our stay and any requests have never been too much trouble. Food in the restaurant is fab at both dinner and breakfast. Can’t really think of anything bad to say… and I can be fussy at times! We will definitely be coming back here again on our next trip - thanks so much!!

Beautiful resort and friendly staff. This was our second visit to this beautiful and well run resort. It is a happy place and everything is clean and well maintained. The only disappointment is that the service at breakfast in the Blu Restaurant is worse than pathetic - and this was our only point of criticism after our first visit a year ago. In future we'll make bookings exclusive of breakfast.

Resort in a great location just above the beach We had the very nice apartment No.1, which was very well equipped with everything. The beds were excellent, the bathroom generously sized, the terrace large, and finally the kitchenette with fridge, stove and oven perfect. Cleaning was perfect every day (although a 3-day rhythm was mentioned in the documents), even the toilet paper did not have to be bought yourself after use as was said in the instructions. Also the garage space was easily accessible and secure. Small minus: the pool was very small, but in the morning at 8 o'clock nobody used it except me, so you could swim halfway well. Overall everything almost perfect - except for breakfast: Unfortunately, there were only a few "fixed menus" here, the cappuccino should have been paid extra, the water as well. Fruit was only available in connection with yogurt pre-packaged, but fresh and delicious. With the fried eggs, I only got what I wanted once with 5 orders, and a few times the 2 eggs with 2 bacon strips took up to half an hour. We would still come back here, moreover it is only 15 minutes to drive to Knysnya

Go! It's worth it! Everything was excellent. From making the booking, all the way through to check-out. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean and well equipped, and the scenery is to die for! The GM, Mr. Grobbelaar, was very welcoming and I must say, this establishment is very well run. Well done!

Very Nice Weekend Away Very Nice Weekend Away. The views were something so special. Being able to see, hear, and smell the sea from every angle. The resort is on the beach, so daily morning and afternoon walks were in order. The accommodation had everything you could possibly think of or need. The resort staff was hopeful and courteous. The restaurant meals were exceptional and were a treat every time. I did find the restaurant menu prices to be slightly expensive. However, I would gladly pay it again.

Excellent We were here for a few nights in June 2024 and the hotel is fantastic. Serves a good breakfast. We overall had a good time in this hotel and I recommend this hotel. Rooms are spacious and nice. For a relaxing experience highly recommended. Next to the hotel is a small Deli which is highly recommended
