sadly a very disappointing dinner last night This is not our first visit to Plattenberg bay we have been coming here for the last 18 years, this is why I feel it very importantant that this review is written. Always on a special occasion we would book the Sands restaurant for dinner, unfortunately we now have to think differently for... More

Best features of this hotel were the restaurant ("The Sands" I think) and the views. Our dinner meal at the restaurant was top notch, with excellent seafood and service. Views from the hotel, including the restaurant, were memorable and impressive. We visited the spa next door which was surprisingly small. Apart from excellent service at the restaurant, overall hotel service/attentiveness... More

We enjoyed a very pleasant week end in this hotel. the location and views are stunning, overlooking the bay. The room was pleasant, clean and well laid out.

All the staff were friendly... More

My wife and I had our honeymoon in South Africa, and were looking forward to our one night stay in the Plettenberg Hotel as it had come highly recommended. We had a noisy room overlooking the entrance and parking and the service was always short. We've had the privilege of staying in some lovely hotels during our stay in SA,... More

Brilliant views, excellent service, lovely rooms and tempting cocktail list at the stylish bar. The restaurant is great and service is attentive - the food is probably a little too heavy/rich to want to eat here more than once but is excellent nonetheless. More
