I recently had the pleasure of staying at the East Coast Boutique Hotel and it exceeded my expectations in every way! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, the rooms were modern and immaculately clean, and the amenities were top-notch. The hotel's central location made exploring the city a breeze, and the balcony offered a stunning view of the ocean that made the stay an unforgettable experience. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable stay – 5 stars isn't enough, it deserves 10!

    The breakfast was nice I just wish they had a small menu of what they are offering for English breakfast so that a person can select what they would like to have. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and our hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

    So clean and very pretty with lots of benches to stop and contemplate - the boardwalk and promenade was so nice. Very quiet and one of the best kept resorts in SA I think. Not much to do but relax and swim, but in easy reach of East London and suburbs and Chintsa etc.

    Our stay at Purple Haze was fanstastic! Louf and Thembi were warm and welcoming. Purple Haze is so peaceful and a perfect escape from our busy lives. The rooms are clean, comfortable and fully equiped. We were surrounded by breathtaking views of the beach and the Cintsa landscape. We would definitely visit again. A perfect mother and daughter vacation stay. Thank you Louf and Thembi ( MamZangwa).

    I have worked here as a SAPS Officer, Station Commanders we would visit different areas from time to time so I know the area but was in hospital on this trip. I ordered in for my family and they enjoyed the different meals delivered by Uber Eats. I asked my hubby to go out with our little one to Hemingway's for retail therapy and entertainment just so she has beautiful memories as bonus

    Its people, the overall view and location of the city. facelifting could help revitalise it to its full potential. the upgrading of the beach front has improved its look and feel but more development is required around the beach especially in Quigney to lighten up the beachfront.

    Bad weather otherwise good. Versailles, if signposted not visible from street. Chinese place dreadful for takeaways. Pancake parlour not good either Should have eaten at bed and breakfast but pricey. Otherwise ate with relatives. I'd avoid the above and eat a breakfast at the b'n'b.

    We were well and very friendly received. We had a lovely spacious clean room with a bathroom on suite Coffee, tea a kettle and milk was provided, but they went the extra mile by also providing the most delicious rusks. Breakfast was optional. as we were still travelling quite a way we unfortunately had to decline. Would like to use the facilities again.
