A lovely resort! At least a 45-minute drive from the airport and you'll want a rental car unless you want to pay very high cab rates to get there and about. Only surprise -- internet access is wifi only -- no computer -- but I made do w iTouch. VG on site restaurant and lots of others in easy walking distance. The eastern cape is only 12-minute drive, and the access road is wide enough for safe running Some great birds right on site -- including hummingbirds and kingbirds. Pleasant staff -- somewhat English limited, but we managed just fine. Great pool, totally underused. The beach you immediately see isn't theirs, but theirs though smaller is more quiet.

This hotel is actually three hotels right next door to the pricey but lovely L'Hotel Creole Beach Resort. We paid 1/4 of the price and enjoyed the same beach, a much more "fun" bar and a clean, cold room with free wifi and breakfast. Staff was VERY helpful and provided a power converter for free! There is a trio of great local restaurants across the street near the Casino, but we found the onsite dinner buffet really pretty good - we just weren't' hungry enough for the whole shebang more than once. It may not look like much as it's in a pretty urban area - but we are coming back again. We used this as a stop before getting on a sailing adventure. Cab to hotel is 30Euro. There are car rentals avail across the street. AND there is access to a luggage room and shower if you need to hang out while waiting for your flight. Pool, beach, spa - what else do you need?
