Set in wonderful tropical gardens with access to the sea. Days at Sea was very enjoyable, particularly the staff, who went out of their way to ensure our stay was effortless. Cindy, Sizwe and all the staff were superb and made us feel very welcome. From the warm welcome to the even warmer good bye, we had a lovely time.|The food was delicious too. Breakfasts were freshly prepared and extensive. The muffins and flapjacks a particular favourite.|The only 2 drawbacks were 1.) the rooms were a little dated. I get the owner had a particular style some years ago but things change and people want a bit of beachside chic, especially if it is deemed 5 star. The room we were in had holes in the white arty chairs and there were buttons missing from the seat. That should not be the case at a 5 star establishment. The floors were also pretty old, with the silicone sealant old and dirty around the shower. The curtain also had a stain on it and it didn't quite fit the window width. The outside table was very badly scratched and looks like it was decades old. A handy bowl, filled with shells placed over it. These rooms are expensive and you would expect them to be top notch, at all times. |2.) The drinks are way too expensive for a South African beach lodge. You are charging more than the very best SA hotels, akin to European prices, if not more. You want guests to relax and enjoy themselves at a beach lodge, not disappear into their rooms.||
