Reviews
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.
Formosa bay was a great experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place in clean and 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.
All above were good
Absolutely love staying here, we will be back. So much to do for the children and adults alike.
Breakfast was OK. Nothing spectacular, very little choice, no cereals and only one cup of coffee. .
Excellent service, friendly helpfull staff. Clean and comfortable with everything needed in the unit.
Clean and comfortable accomodation
The room was very spacious, and the breakfast in the morning was lovely.
Liked the size of the room, was spacious. Cleanliness was okay. Staff friendly and kind and helpful.
Great location on the N2 walking distance to garage where the long distance bus drops off. The unit is fully equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Lovely peaceful atmosphere, loved the trees and plants and birds chirping in the morning. Service and cleanliness was absolutely appreciated. Lots of space for kids to play, and braai area, hot pool, gym. An amazing resort to go and relax.
Good location and good facilities. BF was v good. The staff was supportive.
Staff is super friendly and helpfull .very clean . Top notch . Will go again soon!!
Lage und Ausstattung
Great place
Wir hatten insgesamt drei Zimmer gebucht, die alle sehr groß und komfortabel waren
A hotel very much aimed at families, however the walls are so thin you can hear those families, and tv’s and snoring coming from next door and across the hall. Luckily it quietened down before midnight. For couples the B&B offer may not provide the quiet we were looking for depending on your neighbours. Otherwise the twin room we had was huge with a similarly huge bathroom , with full bath and separate shower. Plenty of storage, a fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Foreign plug sockets and modern decor. Two issues, bedside light to window side does not work, and standard lamp in seating area likewise doesn’t work.
La amplitud del aparta hotel y sus instalaciones.
Always nice to visit Formosa Bay. Easy to find location, central to many of the surrounding attractions and wide range of on-site amenities. The Pools, Multi court, Putt-Putt, jumping pillow, kids outdoor play area, games rooms, gym, braai areas and the surrounding grass and gardens are kept in excellent condition. They also have a small self-help laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. (Take some R5 coins with for the laundry machines). There are also some rabbits naturally grazing in the garden, so take some rabbit food or carrots with:) Parking is safe and secure with 24 hour security on site. All in all, a very nice place to unwind and relax.
Great activities for kids. Absolutely loved the heated pool.
The resort and facilities were clean and neat. The unit was spacious and accommodating. The kids play area was really nice and offered several options to get the kids going, despite the pool water being extremely cold. The staff were friendly and kind. Room service was very affective.
Perfectly located for site visiting from Tsitsikamma right down to Knysna. Comfortable accommodation for self catering and restaurants nearby. Friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.
Very good stay. Would definitely book in again!
Very nice but not as neat as previous visits. Rooms: Very comfortable and well equipped. Nearby activities: Anything and everything. Safety: Great. Walkability: Not advisable. Too close to the Highway. Food & drinks: Good value. Noteworthy details: Lot's of activities for young and old on the resort.
