The Plettenberg

Kates report on The Plettenberg 4*

By Kate Added: 17 October 2007

"The Plettenberg is on the way towards completing a transformation from a country house hotel in a beachside location to being a proper luxury beach hotel. This is mainly seen in the public areas – the foyer is light and fresh, the bar is now distinctly funky and modern and the restaurant has a glass atrium leading out onto the garden so that many diners can now have an Oceanside view (so you should definitely book a front table if you can). The garden and stunning rimflow pool haven’t changed, and nor have the rooms yet – still a little too formal and traditional for my taste given the beach setting. Try to book at least the luxury rooms (2nd room category up) and preferably the luxury sea facing rooms, if your budget allows."

We also stayed at Plettenberg Bay hotel which upgraded us too! It was superb and gave us a wonderful experience, we even saw dolphins from the bedroom, which is a memory we will always treasure.
