Went to hotel for breakfast. Cappuccinos made with long life milk. Terrible. I then asked for an Americano black and got the most vile tasting, bitter coffee. I am used to a strong blend, but this was nasty tasting. Our toast with the omelette was super thin. We like a decent piece of toast… Egg Benedict slightly too cold and also overcooked. 
Very sad that a hotel/testaurant has a beautiful location and just doesn’t get it right. Luckily Plett has some fab coffee places but BI is not one of them🥲

Another bad experience at BI hotel/restaurant

The Captain's Table is exclusive, vibey, romantic and has the best food in town. The fish was fried to perfection not over cooked and so tasty and was probably just caught that day. Only drawback was that we had to wait quite a while to get the food on the table.

A Restaurant which is exclusive and has atmosphere

An absolute stunning location. Set on the central beach of Plettenberg bay. Southern sun masterpiece of Sol Kerzner. Great restaurants. Comfortable rooms. Kids activities. Indoor and outdoor pools. Close to all amenities   Originally a whaling station.

A gem of a hotel right on the sea

I won a church raffle affording me a one night stay. I was not sure what to expect and what I was allowed to do with my voucher. On arrival, I was warmly greeted by Shahieda who checked us in and gave us all the info we needed. She was great and very helpful. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and I was able to enjoy the amenities. I had an experience of a lifetime and would like to thank Beacon Island Resort for allowing an ordinary person like me to enjoy a bit of paradise!

A bit of paradise!

LOCATION: Probably the best location in Plett. Still need a car to explore the surroundings.

APPEARANCE: Seems recently refurbished. Lovely seaside feel about it

ROOMS: Stayed in a standard 4-sleeper. Modern, recently refurbished. Slightly cramped for 2 adults and 2 kids. Bar fridge and kettle. Stingy with amenities - only provide soap bars in the bathroom, and a handful of teas/coffees which are not replenished for the rest of the week. Very clean. Excellent quality of sleep.

SERVICE: Excellent throughout. Staff are great with kids.

DINING: No breakfast buffet. A few dining options. Only tried the Beacon Island Cafe in the lobby which was very good.

ACTIVITIES/FACILITIES: Kids enjoyed the kids' activities/program. Ideal for a relaxing holiday even if not venturing away from the resort. Indoor/outdoor pools; Steam room; Spa; Gym; Kids club; Games room; Tennis and squash courts...
Evening entertainment - the "staff show" was particularly good and an excellent welcoming gesture.

MY BOOKING AGENT: RCI point swap

ADDITIONAL COMMENT: Ordered Halal food from Garden Route Meals which is close and convenient.

Will I recommend/stay there again? YES definitely

FANTASTIC SEASIDE RESORT. EXCELLENT SERVICE. STINGY WITH IN-ROOM AMENITIES

The hotel is very well located. It is great to sleep with open windows hearing the waves. The rooms are rather small if you stay with two children, who have to sleep on the sofa-bed, but they are very convenient. The only reason not to give 5 stars is the long communication back and forth regarding the reservation and payment.

Great location. Very convenient.

What a beautiful and perfect position. Magnificent beaches, great view, super entertainment for the kids and very nice rooms. Very well maintained gardens, public area and facility . A few pools, one for adults only if you are looking for a bit of quiet time. The only area where it can improve is the food, quality is average

Great family resort

My wife and I visited Beacon Isle, right after I had a health issues and expected a nice peaceful stay. It however was marred by me carrying my luggage up a flight of stairs since nobody came to help. I felt undervalued as a customer. The next day we went into town to experience Plettenberg bay only to return and have no parking at the resort. I tried to take it up with reception, but was met with smart remarks and thats the way it is. How can a resort not have enough parking for its customers and then have a smart arse answer to you customers. I feel I could have spend less and then stayed at a B&B and at least have a parking and not have to deal with management helping me see how the it was my fault. I felt I wasted my time and money and thus cannot recommend Beacon Isle to anybody, because I can assure you at the " Beacon" the customer is always wrong...even when they are right.

White plastered gravesite

Food is horrible, service is even worse, only thing you will get is the views. On arrival it was packed due to long weekend, but they couldn’t manage crowds, a lot of us agreed that food was horrible,  reviews on google are scary! Please explore other places 

Horrible experience

Beautiful, excellent and well mannered  hotel, with everything you can hope for in a hotel. The Poters and staff very friendly and helpful. 
The gaming room for kids excellent, my son did not want to leave that gaming room.
The kids activities are excellent and the live music in the evenings great.
It would be great if breakfast was buffet rather than order system. The choices are bit limited on the ordering system as my older son wanted some food which I believe would have been available on the buffet style of breakfast.
But overall, we enjoyed our stay there and everyone was sad when we had to leave.
Will definitely come back again (next time I want a room facing the see).
