    No showers in the rooms...that was a real disappointment for me. Try to address this and you will have more returning guests.

    I didn't like the fact that you first pay then they sent through thier policy and that we must swim with dogs in the pool. I will book again in the future at the cottage where pets are allowed

    The stay at Blue Bay Lodge was good and it was enjoyable, but however, on Booking .com it display that pets are available, but once you booked and done paying then Blue Bay Lodge sent their policy through and say, that the rooms you have chosen is not pet friendly you must book in the cottage, there are pets allowed. that for me was very disappointing as my daughter came all the way from Johannesburg with her little Yorgi then we have to look for a dog sitter. At the Lodge we were sitting at the pool side and ejoying ourselves when dogs came and also swim in the pool which was very disturbing that my daughther was even afraid to swim with the dog and got out of the pool I even made a video of it.

    At check in, they require 500 bucks in case you lose your key. I didn't know this and I don't know if it was mentioned in any of the correspondence I had prior o my arrival. I didn't see it. Anyways, you can use your credit card and they put a old on the amount. A credit card not any other card. So I produce my credit card as I did not have cash, I don't carry cash. So the lady a reception calls the manager o assist as my card was not written credit card on it. So I told them it is a credit card. The manager said no they can't assist. She was rude and dismissive, offered no solution. I had to log into my banking app to show that the account is a credit card account. I found that interaction unpleasant. The only interaction I had with staff.

    I was only booked for one night. The place is beautiful. The room was very big and clean. I travelled alone and I felt safe. I think the place is perfect for group travel, whether it's with family or with friends.

    I didn't like where our rooms were allocated. It was way too close to the kitchen/store room. And it also didn't even had a bar fridge. Our drinks was forever hot.

    I liked the view while having breakfast or dinner.

    There is really not much not to like. This venue seems to be very popular for companies who host events/conferences and all the entertainment areas (restaurant, bar and pool area) can get quite busy and noisy. It does take away a bit from the tranquil environment. Other than that, everything was great.

    The unit was quite spacious, with a well-equipped kitchenette. The sofa and coffee table creates a nice living room atmosphere and there is even an additional table that could be used as workspace by business traveller's. This a perfect self catering unit with the added bonus of rooms being serviced daily. It was located right by the pool and also close to the restaurant that has amazing sea views.

    The location of the pool did not feel communal.

    The breakfast menu had variety and was appealing although we did not enjoy the spread as the view from our room waking in the morning relaxed us too much.

    I cannot write 2 sentences in this section. Sorry

    We loved absolutely everything at Blue Bay Lodge! It was the perfect place to just relax. From a delightful (halaal-friendly) continental breakfast at the beautiful restaurant, to having a dip in the pool, a braai for lunch at your cottage, lounging at the bar area, overlooking the beautiful bay, having dessert and a coffee and then a walk on the beach as the sun goes down. And then finally creeping into those crisp sheets for the best sleep. The staff is truly the heart of this resort.... did everything to make our stay the best! Thank you!

    Wish I was told in advance about the refundablw key deposit of R500. I had to inconvenience myself to drive to an atm to withdraw cash.

    The surroundings were beautiful. Being on the beach was definitely an added bonus. Room was very spacious and clean. Comfy bed also.

    Not really anything to not like - however they could improve on the units perhaps getting air conditioning units - or at least a few ceiling fans would help as they were very hot during the day and only opening / working windows on one side - so no through breeze. Every morning a walk on the beach was very SAD and disheartened by the dead baby seals & birds laying there - Saldanha community needs to do something about cleaning this up everyday - its a not good for tourism.

    The location - close to the beach - fairly quiet surroundings (children on the playground just outside our unit) The sun rise & Sun sets were stunning
