"Everything about the hotel was lovely - the room decor, comfort, position, service, food - my only complaint is there was a lot of noise early in the morning from the restaurant. "

"Really impressed with the spacious rooms, wonderful service, great facilities, excellent food and lovely indoor and outdoor pool and spa. Rooms are a little dated but still comfortable and elegant. Hotel definitely has improved since a previous stay and look forward to returning."

"Beautiful views and great potential, but the experience felt rushed and a bit flat. The property sits on expansive land with roaming wildlife, including zebras — a real highlight. There are colour coded hiking routes across the property, which are a nice addition. Staff were friendly, and dinner was delicious — a beautifully cooked beef dish followed by dessert. However, it was a fixed meal with no menu or choice, which didn’t match reviews praising a full restaurant experience. This could be...

"The unit itself was very nice. Much farther from the beach than the picture show. It's also on the main street which is busy. Lots of street noise in late into the night."

"This was part of trip where we had a longer stay of 3 nights we really enjoyed it here the hotel had a lot of character, rooms were nice not huge but had all that you needed. It was a good location for very good nearby restaurants, and a nice but busy beach within walking distance, also boat trips within walking distance. The food was amazing very large portions. Anything you need the staff will help with bookings for boat trips and restaurants. Very enjoyable stay. "

"The breakfast was first class and the staff were friendly and helpful- even coming out from behind the desk to hold open the doors.
The Ebony room we stayed in had a good sea view beyond the public car park. The situation was very close to the beach and the excellent Fat Fish restaurant."
"This was the most beautiful hotel we’ve stayed at in a long time. We are frequent travellers and we stayed in some lovely hotels in South Africa but this was most definitely the top.
The rooms were stunning as was the whole hotel.
The service was excellent and friendly.
Perfect stay! "
"Our night at Amanzi Island Lodge was a highlight our trip to South Africa. We can’t wait to return. Outstanding service from the friendliest team. Loved being able to use the canoes and bicycles on the property. Highly recommended "
