Saldanha Bay Hotel

The location was great, however going on holiday is about relaxing and getting some shuteye. The bed was slanting on the sides and bulging in the middle. I had a horrible experience every single night in this place. For the money charged for my stay, doesn’t match the poor mattress which overwhelmed my holiday experience. I’m certain this was previously brought to their attention but as always will they make some diplomatic excuse for messing once holiday up. I booked this place from Saudi just to be disappointed.

I’m honestly heartbroken and appalled by the state of this place. What was meant to be a peaceful and restful stay turned into a horrifying experience that left me feeling deeply upset and uncomfortable. The lounge carpets were so dirty and stained, I felt uneasy even walking barefoot. It was impossible to relax in such unhygienic conditions. The bedding was old, worn-out, and broken — there was no sense of comfort or care. The towels were equally disappointing — used, stained, and far from clean. It felt like we were using leftovers from a place that had long stopped caring about its guests. The breakfast area was a disaster. Tables were untidy, floors not cleaned, and the hot buffet area was simply revolting. Food was left exposed with no clear hygiene in place — it was honestly stomach-turning. This experience left me feeling completely let down. I had hoped for rest and peace, but instead left with stress, frustration, and a strong desire to warn others. No one deserves to be treated this way. Hospitality should feel warm and welcoming — this felt careless and cold.

There are wonderful sunrises. Unfortunately, this is where it stops. The restaurant is sub-standard. The hotel will not entertain changing or swapping of items on the menu for dietary requirements e.g. changing carbs for salads etc. I received a dry, tough steak alone on a plate. The room had leaking water pipes that made the floor constantly wet, making it difficult to occupy the room. I found the staff unfriendly and not prepared to assist. For a more pleasant stay, I would suggest choosing an alternative hotel

Lovely comfortable space with a door to the outside overlooking the beautiful bay. The Mussel Cracker restaurant served a delicious meal. All the staff were lovely and extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our short stay at the hotel.

Nice and clean - friendly staff - awesome food - and beautiful views - fishing and lots for the kids to do- close to the harbour to do a visit and see the fishing trawlers and close to shopping centres if need some shopping - spa and hairdresser on the premises

Awesome getaway! Relaxing. Good good and ambience. Staff is attentive and kind. Rooms are clean and neat. Views are amazing. On a Saturday they have a one man band who is awesome . Should there be a soccer or rugby game on, they either screen in the bar area or in a sub hall at the bottom of the property. The breakfast buffet is comprehensive and fresh. A good way to start the day!
