A balm to our souls…

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Nov 2024
This hotel was like a balm to our souls! Such a beautiful place, right on the coast and so calm. The lovely staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.
Special mention to Claudia, on reception, such a lovely person.
Marley, in the spa, who gave me the best facial I have ever had and the ever so helpful manageress, whose name we didn’t get. She arranged for another bed in our gorgeous room and we slept like babies for 3 whole days!
The breakfast was second to none and the pool was warm and such a pleasure to swim in.
We loved Hermanus and The Marine Hotel. We will always have special memories of this…

Our stay at the Marine was excellent. A very relaxed atmosphere with excellent service & wonderful staff. All meals we had were excellent, with an amazing breakfast buffet & cooked options. Our room was spacious, comfortable & quiet. The hotel is right on the cliff top so you can whale watch from the patio. It is also a very short walk to the shops & restaurants of Hermanus. Private parking with security is right next to the hotel.

This wonderful hotel oozes old-fashioned charm and service, all to forgotten in the fast pace hotel world. Beautifully situated on the cliffs overlooking the ocean this wonderful establishment shows its true pedigree, with its outstanding team members, lead by the attentive general manager Melissa Theron and backed up by her Management team with the charismatic and Jovial duty manager Patrick, who is very much part of the fabric of this establishment, and the warm and caring nature of Tammy the food and beverage supervisor. Everything from the security on the front gate all the way through the establishment, the beautiful smiles reflect the dedication to the hospitality industry, all are a credit to the Marine hotel and are ambassadors to tourism in the beautiful town of Hermanus.

As a former hotelier, I would be proud and blessed to have every single one of these team members as part of my team.
As a regular user of the facilities even from a cup of coffee through to the fabulous meals they offer, they always welcome you with open hearts and open arms.

Thank you so much, for keeping the pride in your craft.

The staff were exceptional. Very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel is beautiful and the food was amazing. A wonderful experience that we will treasure. We only wish that on our trip around South Africa we couldn’t stay longer.,

It was a privilege to be a guest at this superb hotel just recently.
Attention to detail was second to none. I only wish had been able to stay longer. Extra excitement at seeing whales in the bay whilst having breakfast.
Bedrooms were well appointed, had all the little extras that make a stay so pleasurable.
Breakfast was a great experience, well served with a great choice of food.

Room tip: Duvet quite warm for outside temperature
