"What a fantastic stay in Plettenberg Bay area. You should have seen my wife's smile when she saw the Garden View Deluxe Suite. The room was stunning! It was quiet. Very clean. Turn down service was very nice. Breakfast was very good with lots of selections on the buffet or off the menu that was included. The staff members are truly amazing. Very helpful. We especially enjoyed talking with our waiter at dinner who interested in our travels that day. I know we convinced him to go visit Monkeyland! We enjoyed the walks along the coastline, unfortunately with the recent storm we could not go down to the beach. We look forward to a return trip here. The only issue we had was Google Maps took us to Gate B and not the Reception entrance, but we did find it. Plus that was the gate we would go in and out of for our room location."
