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.

Tolles Apartment, groß und geräumig. Viel Angebot vor allem für Kinder.

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
What a lovely stay we had here at Formosa Bay!!! ❤️❤️❤️ From our apartment to the gym and pool... every was perfect!!! And the bunnies were a welcomed delight!!! 100% would recommend booking your next holiday in Plett at Formosa Bay!!! ❤️❤️❤️
An excellent hotel with helpful and friendly staff. They could not do enough for us to make our stay pleasant and comfortable.
Beheizter Pool, tolle Spielmöglichkeiten für die Kids , super freundliches Personal
We had a great time. All facilities are family orientated and the beach is near too!
Excelente escolha.. bonito, Excelente infraestrutura, ótimo pra criança. Falou uma piscina aquecida.mas ótimo
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
We had an amazing weekend at Formosa Bay, friendly staff and a surprise Anniversary setup by the Cheff 🌹 we'll be back again
Friendly staff, clean room
Clean , quiet resort impeccably kept. WIFI great and the people as very friendly and welcoming. Central for sightseeing
From beginning to the end of our midweek stay, the experience at the resort, is just soo memorable, that I wish I didn't have to return to the city's rat race. The staff delivered service of top notch quality. Absolutely commendable + appreciated. We had friends over for one evening + they were so impressed by the facilties, they're more than interested in investing in the Beekman Group.
Formosa bay was a great experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and they have some great amenities for all ages.

Rooms were a good size and very clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. Lovely grounds and pool and play facilities for children. Located off main road, just outside main town, so would recommend a car to get to restaurants, shopping and beaches.
Beautiful place with trees and plants. The putt putt are really nice. The swimming pool are clean. The gym are well equipped and have a sauna. The pool and tabel tennis room are cousy and young people and elderly can both enjoy it. The little rabbits are a so beautiful and we enjoy to feed them carrots. We had a great time. The bingo and welcome afternoon was a hilight. The staff are friendly and very helpful and professional. Looking forward to our next visit.
I really enjoyed the available activities, the prompt response from the staff, and the spaciousness of the room
Had a lovely stay! Love this resort. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Everything is very tidy and clean.
Not great... the reception staff were rude (when walking around the other staff where amazing) the unit was small, they said there is a sleeper couch when all you do is sleep on the couch. The appliances were old and almost broken (the toaster was about to catch on fire) Overall, it's not a great stay. The bunnies were nice, though Rooms: Small
Very nice and cetrally located resort with plenty of activities for the children to take part in. The food was good, but inconsistent in terms of portion sizes and the same dish would differ from day to day.
Room was very spacious. Massive living area with full kitchen, massive bedroom as well. Felt like a full one bedroom apartment. Very lovely.
This is a fantastic resort. Massive grounds. Clean and tidy. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The resort offers a lot. Very safe and conveniently close to Plettenberg Bay. This was a business trip but will be back for a pleasure trip
Everything. Absolutely LOVED it. The kids really had a exciting time.
