Fantastic Food Experience

The food at Joe Fish Restaurant was absolutely good! I highly recommend trying their calamari, which is the best I've ever had along the coast. The dining experience was complemented by efficient service, making it a must-visit during my stay. The chefs were accommodating to our dietary requests, which made the meals all the more enjoyable.

Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in a beachfront villa and it exceeded all my expectations! The rooms were spacious, immaculately cleaned every day, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The en-suite bathrooms were a lovely touch, and having a full kitchen was great for self-catering.

Perfect for Families

Cape St Francis Resort is an ideal family destination! The kids loved cycling around the resort safely, and there were two swimming pools for them to splash around in. Everything was family-friendly and the atmosphere made it easy to relax while also keeping the little ones entertained.

Relaxing Retreat

The pool area at the resort felt like a luxurious retreat. I spent my afternoons lounging by the pool with a sundowner in hand, enjoying the atmosphere. It was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the beach, making it my personal favorite spot in the whole resort.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
