This was our first stay at Beacon Island and I was overwelmed by the reception, services and room throughout our stay. Plettenberg Bay offers so much for the adventurous. Our hike round Robberg was very hard but we made it in 5 hours and although we were sore thenext day,the scenery was well worth it. I can truly recommend this... More

The bathroom has both a bath and separate shower. The staff were efficient and friendly and went out of their way to please. The location of the resort is unparalleled and the views... More

March 2013, 2 nights, What a fantastic, modern & clean room we had with a balcony overlooking the estuary & the sea! Our 11th Hotel in a 6 week driving trip around S.A. was a dip into luxury from our budgetted B&Bs. Luggage taken to your room, the hotel and it's location met all high expectations.

Stayed for 2 nights- last minute booking - room , pool, lounging area, hotel is still incredible after all these years ( last visited in 1977 !!) Only issue was the mouldy smell when walking down the stairs - I guess unavoidable because of the location - otherwise superlative hotel.
