From the security to the kitchen staff, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The place is so clean! The food was also delicious, their fruit was fresh, which is never the case at most places.

The rooms are very neat ,and most of the stuff are really friendly and professional expecially the kitchen stuff and Noluthando or Luthando was exceptional and the manager or supervisor who was on duty on Wednesday dinner time, she's a tall lady I just forgot her name,can't say the same as the food, I didn't enjoy it ,it wasn't tasty even the lambs chops that I ordered on room service thinking that it was gonna be better than the food by the dinning hall,it was bad and cold ,infact their food is cold even their breakfast except for the eggs,on and there's this particular lady from the reception who called me on my last day of my vacation and told me that I need to check out and I informed her that my flight was in the afternoon ,she told me that she will to charge me per hour and she very impolite,I was then called by a gentleman who told me that it's ohk he will give me up until 12:30 ,that girl really spoiled my day, then there's the Casino,I played everyday since I arrived,but I was going back to my room empty handed.no win up until my last day on Saturday,it's difficult to get a free play and if you get it luckily...it will not pay😄 either than that I really enjoyed my stay,I felt very safe in my room and the room was up to standard and very neat wish the was a heater and that the cleaning ladies can lower down the noise in the corridor as some of us are still sleeping in the mornings,thank you for accommodating me in the Eastern Cape

This is hands down one of the best places I have ever stayed at in my life! I cannot wait to go back. There is so much to do, not only within the resort, but in the area as a whole. We were blown away by the great service, the prices, the food at the restaurant was fantastic, top notch! Everything was really great, but best of all was meeting ABBY the gentle giant giraffe!! and hand feeding the sable. It was a real slice of heaven on earth!

The place itself is fantastic. Its away from the beachfront but backs onto a river with some great views. I stayed in the Riverfront suite, and its impossible to reasonably find fault. Once booked in, it was an absolute pleasure and I will re-use on all trips to the area. I bumped into the owner on leaving and he was v appreciative of the feedback, which I believe he will address.

Cinsta lodge is a lovely b&b, with great views and a very nice breakfast. Heidi was a good host but we had a very bad experience, on Christmas Day, when Gerhard was extremely rude to us. Unfortunately, this ruined our day and the remainder of our time at the lodge was tainted.

So clean and very pretty with lots of benches to stop and contemplate - the boardwalk and promenade was so nice. Very quiet and one of the best kept resorts in SA I think. Not much to do but relax and swim, but in easy reach of East London and suburbs and Chintsa etc.

Our stay at Purple Haze was fanstastic!

Our stay at Purple Haze was fanstastic! Louf and Thembi were warm and welcoming. Purple Haze is so peaceful and a perfect escape from our busy lives. The rooms are clean, comfortable and fully equiped. We were surrounded by breathtaking views of the beach and the Cintsa landscape. We would definitely visit again. A perfect mother and daughter vacation stay. Thank you Louf and Thembi ( MamZangwa).

I have worked here as a SAPS Officer, Station Commanders we would visit different areas from time to time so I know the area but was in hospital on this trip. I ordered in for my family and they enjoyed the different meals delivered by Uber Eats. I asked my hubby to go out with our little one to Hemingway's for retail therapy and entertainment just so she has beautiful memories as bonus

I had a lovely stay at *Bunkers Hill* — peaceful, clean, and felt just like home. The rooms were neat and well-equipped, and the environment was quiet, perfect for relaxing. Special shoutout to Lisa, who truly made the experience unforgettable. She went out of her way to help with décor, organizing, and even took beautiful photos for us — all with a warm smile and incredible patience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a personal touch. I’ll definitely be back! Definitely coming back

Its people, the overall view and location of the city. facelifting could help revitalise it to its full potential. the upgrading of the beach front has improved its look and feel but more development is required around the beach especially in Quigney to lighten up the beachfront.

Bad weather otherwise good. Versailles, if signposted not visible from street. Chinese place dreadful for takeaways. Pancake parlour not good either Should have eaten at bed and breakfast but pricey. Otherwise ate with relatives. I'd avoid the above and eat a breakfast at the b'n'b.
