Hotel's Favourite
There isn't enough space in this paragraph to adequately explain our stay at St Andrews. From the moment we arrived we were only given the best treatment. From the warm, welcoming, professional, generous staff to our beautifully appointed suite and all round decor of the hotel - we were blown away. I never thought I'd spend an afternoon in my own private spa bath, eating chocolate covered strawberries and drinking wine! After a wonderful dinner at The Thistle we returned and found our room had been dolled up to the nines with turn down service - thank you Priscilla! The room was so comfortable we nearly missed breakfast (which would have been a tragedy! - again - fantastic food and service, Patrick and his magic 'vaatjie' filled with champagne.) Difford, Robin, Louis and team - thank you for the most amazing treat and making it such an unforgettable experienc. The Royal St Andrews is an asset to and icon in Port Alfred and the Eastern Cape.

A very smart, modern hotel with an immaculately clean ,well stocked room. The breakfast and dinner were both excellent. The pool looked very good although we didn't use it. Staff were friendly and helpful. The parking was easy and the area felt secure.

The rooms at the Royal St Andrews are spacious and truly luxurious, and the service was exceptionally good - it actually seemed as if all the staff love working there. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide range of options. Definitely worth a visit!

Great venue for those of us with children and for those of us without. Pool was amazing and as long as the children could keep their noise down they seemed welcome. Highland pub was tolerant of well behaved children too. Thank you!

Good Value for money and best holiday destination when going with kids. Has a play room that operates during the day and evening so that parents can be able to relax or go out and do other things or go on a date.
