very good appearance and very large size suite we only used it as an overnight stop in a long drove . The amenities were mostly wasted on us as a family holiday for a week it would have been great

No assistance at check-in with luggage or orientation. Beware that 3 rooms are on the 2nd floor & you must navigate a steep, winding staircase with your luggage (up & down) A potential mishap waiting to occur. All of the emphasis is on the bathroom - extremely well-appointed. Bedroom was dated, tired - carpet should be replaced. Breakfast was excellent & the staff were very pleasant. Overall disappointing experience - poor value for $$$$

Stayed for one night in May 2017 but would have stayed more had our travel plans allowed. Booked on hotels.com and we were given a room in the villa. Very nice Two bedroom room. Downstairs there was a full kitchen and garage for the car, pool table, living room. Didn't use the small pool or grill. Other people were also staying in the villa in different rooms so the kitchen etc was a common area. Breakfast in the morning was very good. The hotel is right on the beach and the sunrise view is gorgeous. Service is excellent.

Most amazing room
Wow we were greeted by warm friendly staff with umbrella to keep us dry. We stayed in the Presidential suite it was fantastic pure luxury. We look forward to staying there again. Great walk along the beach from a staircase at the hotel. You do need a car to get to town for the shops and restaurants.

Luxury on the beach
African Oceans is a really lovely hotel. We were allocated a whole suite to ourselves, and it was gorgeous. Very high quality, modern furnishings, really comfortable bed, and the fruit and sherry in our sitting room wa a very nice touch. Set up on the cliff with easy access to a long sandy beach, the location was great. We wished we were staying for more than just one night. A beautifully presented hotel, with lots of luxurious touches, Bert friendly and helpful staff, and a fantastic breakfast to send us on our way.

Beautiful Rooms and Views of the Ocean
We booked the Presidential Suite, room 5. It was really beautiful, with an amazing view of the ocean. I'm guessing since we were there in the off season, the staff was paired down. One evening, the fireplace wasn't even turned on. We were supposed to get a parking place in the garage the first night, but someone else was allowed to park behind the garage, so we were told we couldn't use it until the second night. Be sure to read the instructions for the room as soon as you check in- It would have been good the know about the check out policy in advance (early check out needs special arrangements), and that we could request an early breakfast.

Excellent hotel 5* quality
I have stayed in many hotels but never has a suite had me saying wow so many times upon entering the room, The quality of furnishings are far superior to any of those 5* chain hotels, with scented fresh flowers in the living area and the master bathroom, I say master bathroom but it was more like a spa with an abundance of toiletries. The room came with a fully stocked fridge of wine, larger and soft drinks, along with a kitchen area. Breakfast in the morning was also a 5* experience with an abundance of choice from their menu, freshly cooked to order, and always served with a smile from their friendly attentive staff.

We were so happy when we saw our room. The view of the ocean was magnificent. Every detail was just right. There was also a Nespresso machine in our room - my favorite. They allowed us to check out a little late which was very nice. The breakfast was very tasty. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome - book it if you can
One of the nicest places we have ever stayed Huge L shaped room , bedroom, couch & chairs, then a dining room area with cooker ,microwave ,fridge, table & chairs, Nespresso coffee machine etc Separate toilet, great shower, deep separate bath & double sinks. Balcony outside leading down to the beach. Plunge pool area with plenty of sun beds scattered around. Fantastic breakfasts including a special starter each day, eggs benedict, smoked salmon and lots of other choices. Lots of little nice touches - too many to detail, you will need to check for yourself !

A real gem.
From the time we arrived the staff were excellent and responded to our every need. The hotel is in an excellent position overlooking the beach. We stayed in Suite 4 which had a balcony overlooking the beach and sea. The breakfast was first-class and set you up for the day. The recommendations for restaurants in the evening were very good and we particularly enjoyed Route 57. The quality of the hotels furnishings was first-class and the general maintenance extremely good. Would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Excellent.
Exceeded our expectations, a beautiful place, very well appointed, in a quiet area with great views over the beach. Lovely rooms, terraces and garden with small pool area. We were in what their website calls "standard room 9" - but this had two double bedrooms, bathroom and a large terrace. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly welcome on arrival. Secure garage parking. A point to mention though is that there are no bars or restaurants within easy walking distance so you need your own transport, or the services of André can be booked for the short taxi ride into town. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Good for one night
We stayed here on a journey from Plettenberg Bay to Sanbona Wildlife reserve so the hotel had a lot to live up to. We found it ideal for a stopover with great service from reception until departure. Not sure that the area of the hotel lends itself to a longer stay but may be wrong! Facilities and condition of premises is superb and well equipped and stocked with essentials.

Confused
On arrival we were met by a friendly member of staff who showed us to the suite. We booked Suite 7 which is actually located in a house next door to the Guest House. This suite is outstanding although we ended up being confused whether this was a self catering unit or a B&B Guest House. It does feel remote and disconnected from the main building. The Breakfast was excellent and staff offered advice and assistance on local restaurants and attractions.

Trevligt hotell vid badvänlig strand
Bodde i presidentsviten som var rymlig och fin även om den är lite nedgången. Hotellet ligger precis vid lång och badvänlig strand vilket är ovanligt i SA där vattnet oftast är för kallt eller svårt/farligt att ta sig ner i.
