Reviews
Our unit was neat and clean,very friendly staff,the pool areas are very relaxing and scenic,just didn't enjoy the waffle it was very though we really looked forward for the waffles and the milkshakes, I truely enjoyed the milkshakes had a blueberry cheesecake shake it was delicious 😋 and we tried the Thursday cheeseburger special it was awesome Rooms: Neat,big. Nearby activities: Yes. Safety: Yes. Walkability: Yes. Food & drinks: Restaurant on-site my opinion I think the waffles need attention didn't enjoy it.
What a lovely experience and exceptional friendly and accommodating staff

We will be back here for a longer trip and stay. Fantastic staff and resort.
Good hotel
Last minute booking but will stay again. Reception lady was superb, all staff efficient and friendly Great breakfast, even better cappuccinos. Only down side is the rooms we had didn’t have aircon but they will change the listing to reflect that
Mooi ruim appartement gelegen aan een rustige tuin. Ontbijt was geweldig
Loved their breakfast choice and quality, have stayed here a few times and that has remained good.
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.
Las habitaciones
Noteworthy details: Partner was heeltyd siek
The cleaning in die mornings of our room... loved it - seeing we on holiday i did not have to worry about that and then brekkies at the restaurant was great, variety of meals great
It was everything one could ask for for our 50th wedding anniversary. Staff treated us like celebrities. Wonderful facilities to enjoy along with our dear family.
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 play room, we stayed in a nice 2 bedrooms apartment with a nice and spacious patio.
The rooms are nice with all amenities. The breakfast is a bit of a let down though. Very limited options. But otherwise a good place!
Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, die Innenstadt von Plettenberg Bay ist mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. In der Umgebung gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants. Die Unterkunft war sauber und bietet viele Möglichkeiten für Kinder wie auch für Erwachsene, darunter ein sehr gutes Fitnessstudio, einen Tennisplatz und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
Sehr freundliches Personal, super großzügiges Zimmer, leckeres Frühstück
Really great experience the staff are very and kind and helpful as well. Would definitely return for another holiday getaway. Rooms: The rooms are stylish,modern and very accommodating. Allows one to be able to truly relax. Nearby activities: The beach and shops are central to our accommodation which make it so much easier to enjoy our stay. The facility itself provides activities to do when one does not want to leave to go outdoors. Safety: Its very safe we have had nothing to worry about since we have arrived. Walkability: Its very walkable everything is close by.
Staff and amenities was super.
The facilities on offer, friendly staff,
Tolles Apartment, groß und geräumig. Viel Angebot vor allem für Kinder.
The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Excellent amenities and perfect for the kids.
Value for money.
Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Hotel ist auch etwas für Familien, da es einen großen Garten mit Hasen und Spielmöglichkeiten hat. Das Frühstück war soweit auch gut die Portionen sind sehr riesig. Safety: 24/7 Von Security bewacht
Large well equipped room with comfortable bed and balcony. Great breakfast
Facilities were great, the heated pool was a bonus.

Mega gutes Frühstück
Formosa is really a bliss. Will def come back soon for another stay. Def a very good family resort.
Kontinentālās brokastis, vienveidīgas. Patālu no centra.Ir nepieciešams auto. Bezmaksas parkings.
Absolutely everything. The room, the staff, the facilities, everything was 10/10.
So good for the soul. Rooms: Spacious
What a lovely place. There was so much for the kids to do.
Clean, tidy and great staff. Also off road gated parking.
Habitación muy grande y espaciosa. Cama muy grande. Bañera en el cuarto de baño.
Perfect for family outing with kids
Abgeschlossener und bewachter Hofraum,
Honestly everything , everyone and everything contributed to the amazing experience. Exceeded my fiancé and I expectations.
the breakfast was very extensive. The apartment was comfortable and clean.
Tranquil with much attention given to comfort. Incredibly spacious unit with new appliances. Brought back good childhood memories of the original Formosa Inn in the 70s.
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.
Perfect for family holiday. Wonderful outdoor area. Close to the main area. Look it's not 5 star but it's a good vibe
Accomodation, friendly staff, price, location, clean,...
Rooms: Good. Nearby activities: Great. Safety: Safe. Walkability: Good. Food & drinks: Good
All the facilities that they have. Our son was able to really enjoy himself and play around.
Nice location, great for children
We had a very nice experience and will definitely return with more of our family members so they can also experience the fun we had
quick and friendly

The resort has everything you need - convenience store, gym, pool and even down to a hair salon
A real treat - lovely waffles at their restaurant (The Waffling Whale Cafe) and a comfortable stay. Lots of fun activities for the family to enjoy!
Resort has lovely kiddies activities and rooms, service is fair, some staff are really warm while a few of the older staff members give off a more cold vibe and not the friendliest, resort and the people moving the bags around had a great attitude and vibe.
Excellent quick weekend breakaway destination from Port Elizabeth. Central to visit surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay with the friendly and helpful staff.
Rooms: Water temp in ensuite shower problematic(irregular)
Easy to find place,very comfortable,it was a home away from home
