My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Formosa Bay. Generally, my desires in booking accommodation are minimal. There must be cleanliness, space in the room and at least, access to Wifi and a decent amount of channels to watch on TV, beyond the basics. Formosa Bay provides all of this. The resort also has a small restaurant set up and breakfast comes with ”vouchers” which off sets some of the costs. You can also order alcoholic beverages and set out on a deck overlooking a beautiful, natural landscape. I found the service to be kind, from reception through to those working in the eating area. The food was also of a good quality. I admit we did not take full advantage of all the facilities. There are 2 pools and a gaming area. There are also tennis courts. The location is also a 5-10 minute drive from the sea. It's located right on the N2 for travelers passing through Plett. We stayed there during the Christmas season and enjoyed ourselves. If interacting with diverse guests are your desire, then that is not what I experienced. I do not know why. But this could also have been the timing of our stay, which was during the Christmas season. I would definitely recommend this resort. We stayed on the eastern side of the resort. Not all rooms have self-catering services so ensure your booked room includes this if that is what you need and desire. Oh, something strange happened for a Christmas traveller. We requested clean bedding but the staff were away for the special days. We received a note saying no cleaning was allowed. I understand respect for Holy Days but do believe that service should continue nevertheless. Pay staff more during this time. What if the bedding was cleaned with spilt coffee or something? Does that mean no cleaning or clean blankets or sheets? I went to reception and eventually got service, even though I was told they ”might” help me ;)

This hotel is in a great position only 2 mins from Plettenberg beach, which is lovely. We felt safe walking on the beach on our own in the day but were told not to do so at night. Breakfast was fine and dinner was OK but we felt that choices were a bit limited Room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was really good - nice and powerful. One issue with the room is that there is a glass partition between the sleeping area and the bathroom/loo, with the loo not having a separate light. This means when one of you gets up to go to the loo in the night you have to switch on all the bathroom lights which then wakes up the other person.
