Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I dined at Joe Fish Restaurant, where the calamari was mouthwatering and a must-try. The staff were attentive and the food presentations were world-class. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience at the resort!

Comfortable and Spacious

Our chalet was very spacious and well-equipped for our stay. It provided all the comforts we needed. Although there wasn’t a sea view, the location was perfect for walking to the beautiful beach. It felt like a home away from home.

My stay at the resort was truly wonderful! The room was spacious and well-equipped for self-catering, which made my experience quite enjoyable.

My experience at this resort was quite mixed. On the positive side, the beach was absolutely stunning, and the conference facilities were well-equipped and enjoyable. However, I was disappointed with the accommodation quality, as the standard rooms fell short of expectations, and I found both dining options to be lacking in variety, especially for vegetarians.

Rooms

6.0

The units were generally clean, but the standard room I initially booked felt more like a basic setup with a few cleanliness issues. After upgrading to a 5-star beachfront villa, I noticed that it still needed some improvements, particularly in terms of maintenance.

The service was commendable, with attentive staff who went out of their way to assist and provide a pleasant experience during the conference. They offered great assistance with meal requests and overall support.

Location

The resort is conveniently located just 1.5 hours from the airport, and having direct beach access was a highlight for my stay. The lighthouse nearby provided a nice scenic touch, and the sunsets were breathtaking.

Dining

While the food was tasty, the lack of vegetarian options was disappointing. Breakfast was lovely when I opted for the bed and breakfast plan, but for dinner, I found the choices to be rather limited.

Facilities

The overall facilities were decent, but the pool area could use some upgrades and attention. It was enjoyable, yet felt like it could be improved with some basic maintenance work.

My stay at Cape St Francis Resort was truly unforgettable, thanks to its incredible facilities, stunning ocean views, and scrumptious dining options. The accommodations were well-kept, although I did notice a strong scent of air freshener in our chalet. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience, but there were some inconsistencies with the service regarding payment methods. Overall, this resort is an ideal spot for families looking for fun and relaxation by the beach.

8.4/10

Our stay was quite the mixed bag. While the service was outstanding and the location breathtaking, I felt that the accommodation didn't quite match the 5-star label it was given. The beach front villa we upgraded to was beautiful but showed signs of wear and tear. However, the friendly atmosphere and delicious breakfast made the experience enjoyable overall.

Rooms

We started in a basic 3-star room, which felt more like a British 2-star. After upgrading to the 5-star beachfront villa, we found the room spacious but a bit tired, with cracked tiles and rusty handles.

This resort is a fantastic family-friendly destination with a lovely beach area and spacious rooms. I enjoyed the cleanliness and the variety of food options available. However, I was disappointed with the Wi-Fi issues and that swimming wasn't allowed at the private beach. Overall, it's a great value, but there's room for improvement.
