Stayed here with my wife for four nights in January 2013. A most enjoyable experience. The hotel is extremely well run, with a relaxed but efficient atmosphere. Staff were wonderful, and management visible and attentive. Dining in the restaurant was good, and breakfast was excellent. The location above a beautiful beach is fantastic, though a less precipitous path down would... More

Hotels in South Africa aren't cheap. They charge per person generally and this can be initially misleading when looking at prices. The Plettenberg certainly is not cheap but it is wonderful. Our room had a garden with a patio set and two sun loungers.

We had an excellent three nights stay at this classy and beautiful hotel. The decor is superb and the property is well maintained. Our room was spacious and extremely comfortable. Staff were very attentive and Lisa, the manager, clearly keeps a close eye on things to ensure that your holiday goes smoothly. We had two evening meals in the hotel... More

Fantastic stay! Stayed for 2 nights on a whirlwind trip. Loved the property and very much enjoyed the "boutiqueish" feel. Service levels all round top notch! Loved the pool setting which made for great photographs and the views are simply stunning. Would most definitely stay here again!!

Hadn't planned on stopping here for two nights during our recent stay in SA but sadly our original hotel was overbooked and the nice people at Virgin arranged this as an alternative........we are so pleased that they did! First impressions were strong - very friendly personal welcome from the ever attentive Lisa Knight and the standards were maintained throughout our... More

The view is amazing and the lap pool is very good and our suite was large but tired and badly designed. The staff were so helpful and the breakfasts were great. Just something missing. I can't fault the stay but I would not go there again.

I am happy to have gone back here. We didn't stay here last year (we just had dinner) so we made a bit of a change. As a hotel it is pretty good and the views are to die for. Food is more than ample and delicious, so you don't need to go out. We go to SA quite often... More

Our great regret was that we only stayed for 3 nights. We were with some of our family celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. The treatment we received was outstanding, the service was brilliant and the staff helpful in every way possible. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We have nothing but praise for this hotel.

This is a great hotel! The hotel is essentially located in two buildings on either side of the road both with great views. The main building has a pool, lounge and restaurant and houses the standard rooms. The building across the street has a verandah/loung area and houses the superior rooms. Both buildings have infinity pools with one being heated.... More
