The breakfasts were good with a nice range of options. The swimming pools (cool and heated), and their surrounds, are lovely. The activities for the whole family make for a fun getaway. The area of Plettenberg Bay has a lot to offer.

Wir hatten uns die Unterkunft von den Bildern her ein wenig anders vorgestellt. Scheinbar werden nur sehr wenige Apartments über Booking vermietet, der Rest sind Südafrikaner oder Pensionäre, die die Apartments über ein Punktesystem mieten können. Das Personal war sehr nett und der Waffelladen zum frühstücken sehr gut. Auch der warme Pool war super, da es an unseren Tagen geregnet hat und frisch war für Februar.

Room was a standard clean room. Morning at 9 while we were busy getting dress someone climb up with a ladder to clean the braai. Wanted to play games had to buy balls but they had no coins and we had to drive to fuel station to get coins. Should work on client service skills.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Formosa Bay Resort. Great amenities, friendly staff all round. Properties are neat and spacious. Looking forward to the next stay! Nearby activities: Gym with Sauna, semi heated pool with a cool water slide to keep the kids and adults entertained for hours. Waffle house restuarant on site, great value and great food. Safety: All rooms fitted with smoke alarms, property behind a locked gate and security patrol. Walkability: All properties are easily accessible. Food & drinks: They have an on site Cafe that sells refreshments and snacks at reception and restaurant.

We had a wonderful stay at Formosa Bay Resort in Plettenberg Bay. Our self-catering accommodation was comfortable and well equipped, it had everything we needed for a relaxed family holiday. Housekeeping was excellent and consistently reliable. The location is truly ideal, with close proximity to everything in town, which made getting around very easy. We also had good, reliable internet throughout our stay, which was a big plus. The facilities are fantastic, especially for families with young children. Our nearly three-year-old son was in his element! Highlights for him were the heated pool, the jump pad, and the playroom. We also absolutely loved the bunnies! Such a sweet touch. The only downside for us was the restaurant. While the portions are generous, the service was consistently slow and the food itself was a bit of a letdown. Overall, we had a great stay. We were there for a week at the end of January, and it wasn’t too busy at all. There was ample parking and the security is excellent. We would definitely return.

Nice hotel but absolutely no communication (in spite of trying to contact them 3 days before arrival) about a change of plans and possibility to checkin later. E-mails are not being answered and at the reception the employees are hiding behind the HQ.
