The 4 star Krystal Beach Hotel is situated on the waterfront of the paradisiacal Harbour Island peninsula, nestled along the Western Cape shores of Gordon's Bay. The Krystal is a gem, exuding a quiet sophistication without any trace of snobbishness, in harmony with tranquil décor conducive to relaxation, and all our rooms have truly spectacular views. We really do offer unrivalled value for money, and our staff love to please, not merely because it is our job to do so, but because it is our calling. Cape Town International Airport is only 40 km and 35 minutes’ drive from the Krystal Beach. We are only 1.5 km from Gordon's Bay Village and the walk there is usually a highlight for our guests. Bikini Beach (Blue Flag) is only 2.7 km from the Krystal Hotel. The Strand, with its magnificent beaches (Blue Flag) is virtually on our doorstep, Somerset West about 5 minutes, Stellenbosch about 15 Minutes, Hermanus about 45 minutes, and Cape Town about 40 minutes. The Krystal Beach is at the start of both the Wine & Whale Routes. The safety of our guests is of paramount important to us, and our security team remains ever vigilant, highly motivated, and absolutely professional. Our numerous internal and external CCTV surveillance cameras further monitor people traffic 24/7 for absolutely peace of mind.

What a splendid surprise. The hotel feels dated on the outside but she is beautiful. The staff are well trained and friendly. I loved my room and its view of the beach. All the rooms have balconies and it’s beautiful to sit outside sipping an iced cold beer or a wine spritzer. The food is standard hotel fare but there are stunning restaurants in Somerset West if you want to explore the local area. It’s a value for money visit and families especially the children will love the pool, the sea and all the outdoor activities.

It was wonderful and we are coming again next year. Buffets, live music, friendly faces, interesting setting, spacious accommodation - it ticks all the boxes. We really enjoyed our stay. We will come again because it was good value for money.

So normally you see all these wonderful pics and you arrive and it’s not what you saw, well this was exactly what was advertised and was exceptional, from the staff to overall stay. The hotel is positioned so perfect with restuarants just a stone throw from the hotel. Good was great and staff were so helpful and friendly. Thank you so much

This place is fabulous. We had stayed for a week in central Cape Town and moved to Gordon’s Bay for the last three days of our stay. The rooms are amazing and being directly on the Marina gave a real chilled vibe. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and always greeted us with a smile.Great breakfast and service together with the location means we will return when next in CT.

This was a great stay. The maintenance on the Hotel is abut behind and we were not able to use the first or second coffee machine. The suite was large. Breakfast was ok. Staff was not too friendly. The detail in the Hotel is amazing!!! Lots to see. Loved the Art all over.

Everything was great, reception service check in and out was excellent but service for food and drinks on the outside patio was below par and extremely slow. Room service had 2 levels - excellent to replace towels that were no in my room but exceptionally bad when I order food and a drink - took 45 minutes!

I went here with my wife for a weekend away. The hotel had all the amenities I was looking for i.e. gym, restaurant etc. It's in a great location and there are some nice views of the harbour. Staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. Only downside was that some of the restaurant staff were a little grumpy and not very friendly but I guess they were having a bad day. All in all, a nice relaxing stay. I enjoyed it.
