I was there a few years ago and I was blown away with the service I recieved when I went back in November. Thank you to each one I interacted with and the level of care was felt. The staff is great, friendly and helpful. The gentleman that drove my car up thank you. The lady in the restaurant and my waiter was amazing. The breakfast was great. Love the new reception area. Thank you again.

Beautiful place. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent service. Wish for it to be more inclusive of little ones in terms of food menus. Food is amazingly scrumptious and affordable. The views are therapeutic.

Had an amazing stay, staff who checked us in was friendly and just the right amount of chatty. Our room was ready early & it looked gorgeous. Had a lovely chat with house keeping staff and the owner. The restaurant was amazing and that smell from the wood oven is just to die for. We were too busy enjoying the beautiful ocean views and surroundings to bother with pics. But next time!

As a couple we have spent many days at this beautiful 5 star Hotel in Amanzimtoti. This hotel has many levels with a story of a family and how they have grown a 2 bed room home into what it is today. #Georgios# literally has the best Pizza we have ever eaten and a Fillet to die for! Everything is fresh and yes maybe the pasta is not handmade ( who even does that in SA) but the pizza bases are Rolled to order and so is all the sauces and toppings. #The Spa# you walk into a stunning , relaxed feeling , you now have some time out , everything is first class pamper . The salt detox pool is mind blowing as a couple to just float in . #Rooms# the owners know how to pay attention to detail with all the little extras like pillow comfort, good linen, white towels , gowns and the amenities. #Staff# from booking with Ashley, Lucky the lovely chef , Lucia making breakfast for us , Chis on Night Audit and Abigail who does our turndown, you make us feel like super stars. Waking up in the morning is also such a pleasure , yes you not on the beach but its called The View because of the "View " a 360 degree delight of the Indian Ocean one that I miss everyday not being there. Rates are very well priced with breakfast included how they do it I don't know as living in Cape Town you would be lucky to be able to afford the experience and quality. Until we see you again thank you for always making our experience one to always remember.

We were promised a 5star hotel villa and private beach and pool from the villa .when we arrived there there was no such .that place is not even close to a hotel its supposed to Rate 1star, We asked for a refund from the hotel manager by the name of Ronald and he was very RUDE he told us he will look for better room for us and made us wait from 5pm till 9pm in the evening only to tell us that the rooms were burning there's power failure and we told them we can't wait anymore we wanted our R20000 refund back. He made us sign the refund form however till today there was no refund 😐 whenever we call he keeps promising to get back but he doesn't. WE are very DISSAPOINTED

My 4th visit and I love this hotel. Has everything one could ask for and if you enjoy the gym and spa like me, its really all inclusive. This is how I've always enjoyed it but unfortunately there has been some deterioration in 6months. It's small things like poor maintenance, damp and housekeeping which can build-up to a bigger problem if not addressed. On a very positive note, I've given this feedback to the staff and management and to their credit they have acknowledged and committed to addressing it. This alone is enough to make me return immediately.

We had a really lovely time at the Spa and I can honestly say its been a long time since I've experienced such an organized, professional, friendly service. I can't find fault with our experience on Saturday! Thank you!

A 3rd trip to The View and it seems to get better. Great room with all the amenities and spotless. Wonderful view. Tried the spa for the first time and the experience was just as good. Great food at Georgios and staff all round were great. Thanks
