Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The sea view, the breakfast , the dinner,the room , and the staff, especially the welcoming on day 1 ,at the reception from the porter
From reception till end of stay was excellent
地理位置不錯,房間也寬敞明亮舒適
The food was exceptional, from lunch all the way to the breakfast. Our favorite was the breakfast. They were willing to keep our bags for us to continue with our itinerary even after checking out. We also loved the bedroom set up with roses, even the extent the manager took to bring is our chocolates and roses.
In as much the food was exceptional their I believe hygiene should be considered as one of the outstanding conciouse whenever you used white plates and cups for the tea.. white expose how hygiene is tge place..
Great beds and pillows Good shower and towels And the breakfast has been updated and much improved food
The coffee machine at the breakfast spits out terrible coffee It really is bad and warm Back rooms are noisy with the Air Con Fans
Location easy to find and the view and food delicious made
Carpet
Room was ok. Not what was paid for and booked
The fact that my booking was for a sea facing room, room hadn't been started to be cleaned and the fact that we were put into a Non Sea Facing room
Very nice location. Friendly staff. Rooms are good. Food is good
The other guests in the hotel were so loud we could not go for breakfast. It sounded if there was a rugby match in the dining room. The same group had a big gathering in the parking area and was singing loud. Nobody tried to make them behave. The televisions in the rooms are old and not smart tv's. One does not have the channels one want to use

The smell of Paint, paint stains on the bathroom floor

Clean room and spacoius room. The beach view
The light switch next to the door for the room needs to be fixed
Everyone as nd everything excellent.
The location was on point and we had a sea facing room, the hotel was clean and the staff very friendly
The breakfast not much of a variety.
I love everything about it, the location, friendly staff and the lovely breakfast
N/A
This hotel and its staff are exceptional We had a truly wonderful stay.
Scenery and friendly staff
Dirty carpet in my room
Rooms look good, a short distance from beach
Given a keycard to a room that someone else was staying in, if this was done with other person, how easy is it to duplicate the key card, and give it to someone else, and that someone else entering my room and taking my personal belongings. Shower was not properly cleaned. Dirty. Air-conditioner, not working correctly Only blowing HOT air. Wall plugs, loose, almost falling out. Passage carpets dirty and warn out. Incorrect information given at main desk with regards to breakfast.
Great hotel …comfort, facilities, value and staff culture. Well done
All good
The shower and view from 7th floor.. room was clean.. I like the gym room. Bed was comfortable. The pillow was soft. Some staff were friendly.
No Netflix's in family room. Room service didn't get order correct also takes long to deliver and Teas coffee served in disposable cups. Don't cater for vegetarians.. some staff are not friendly. This hotel does not fit the Tsogo Sun Standard. I paid for breakfast in my stay and because I had to leave early was told they cannot pack a take away..no room service menu in my room no tea spoons in my room. Room lighting was dull.
The staff is super friendly and accommodating.
I liked everything
excellent
everything
Conforto e espaço.
Clean
No microwave & Netflix
We really appreciated how accomodating the hotel and staff were in setting up the room and accomodating our family travelling with a 1 year old.
Perfect location. Close to the beach.
The room we had the window fitting was loose and some rain was entering the room. Also it was very cold because of the window not sealing properly
The staff were friendly and the rooms was clean
The breakfast did not impress - the "sea view " was partial - the main view was directly into rooms on the other side of the hotel
The staff was nice and welcoming and the breakfast was exceptional 👌
The rooms was not what I was expected as I booked 2 executive rooms but it was not I expected for executive rooms
The friendly staff. There were always nice and willing to help
The rooms. We booked 2 executive rooms but according to my experience with other hotels I have visited the rooms we got is too far to meet standard of executive rooms. I think it needs more improvement
Grande chambre et bon petit déjeuner. Parking pratique en bas de l’hôtel. Bien situé, proche des activités de Port Elizabeth. Jolie vue.
La chambre était grande mais sans décoration, avec une salle de bain minuscule et disproportionnée. La vue n’était pas vraiment sur la mer, puisqu’on voyait surtout les autres chambres en face. Personnel agréable, mais aucun service pour nous aider à monter les valises.
Comfortable stay.
The hospitality from the moment I stepped in and the overall stay.
Nothing that comes to mind.
Absolutely everything

Basin in the room seems blocked
Sea view
Was a bit shabby the furniture
Location, comfort, nice breakfast and cleanlines.
The television was not clear. Consider investing in smart television on which we can use our dstv and Netflix accounts.
Very Nice Hotel. Nice Location.
I Requested A Cot For My Baby Which Was Approved. Nothing Provided. Even At Reception, I Had My Baby And They Didn't Even Ask If I Required One. NOT GOOD AT ALL.
The breakfast buffet was outstanding and the friendly staff at the reception.
The service in the evening Restaurant was very poor. We ended up collecting our own drinks from the bar service. The waiter was no where to be seen. The quality food at dinner was not nearly as excellent as the buffet in the morning.
1. The clean room and beautiful view 2. Breakfast had a lot of variety
Location, right infront of the beach 👌🏾
Nothing
Lovely breakfast with exceptional chef. Very friendly
No hand soap by basin in bathroom Shower head was loose which we fastened ourselves Toilet seat also was loose.
Location. Quality
Facilities was good. Location wise, it is close to the beach and close to the shops. Rooms were nice and clean.
I was not allocated the room with a sea view as booked. I had to query my room booking when I saw it was not sea facing. This was fortunately corrected. On the 2nd day, there was a power failure and the generator wasn't working until late that evening. I asked for breakfast packs to take away for our stay. My son's order was changed the one day without consultation and on the last day, there were no more plastic utensils to eat the yoghurt with. When I enquired I was told they are waiting for their order. The staff was in all instances very friendly and helpful. The gym is very basic, there were no towels, no water and only a few free weights.
Worst hotel ever
No electricity - advised had a generator but did not. Service was poor. Breakfast below average. Telephone in room did not work. Safe did not work. Rooms only cleaned after 13:00.
Nice hotel. We stayed here fore 1 night to continue our road trip. We liked it!
Nothing
Very nice hotel, staff was friendly and room was lovely. Breakfast was also great, and staff went out of their way for us! There was electricity although most of the area did not have!
The couches and carpets definitely need a good cleaning! The place was cleaned very nicely daily but the old marks that needs more than a vacuum would make a huge difference!
Breakfast was so nice, securities were very friendly
None
Good hotel with very friendly Staff.
Furniture, Carpet Kind of old, Restaurant Food is Not good
Everything. What an Amazing Hotel.
