We had a very nice holiday, staff friendly, polite and helpful. Unfortunately, on our last day the service was very poor (maybe because it was busy). Drinks by the pool took over an hour to arrive, drinks were warm and part of order was missing. Additionally a burger that we had ordered was very very undercooked. The staff did rectify our order but all this took time which was a big shame on our last day.

Late checkin

We arrived at 3 pm which is after the 2 pm checkin start time. Our room was not ready until 4:30. That was disappointing and frustrating as we wanted to unload and go. We had to check our bags at the front desk. Other than that, the stay was fine.

Most Disappointing

A disappointing end to a wonderful trip to SA. Room was on forth floor, no elevator from 3rd to 4th floor. Had to haul our luggage up and down. (other hotels in SA had porter assistance). No hairdryer in the room, requested one from reception it didn't arrive. The television screen had two big white spots - internal lenses broken. Room was the smallest we had in SA. There was an issue with the sewers in the hotel and the underground carpark was flooded with a foul smelling water. Patrons transferred this on their footwear into the lifts which stank for the 3 days we were there. We had a nice meal one evening so invited 3 guests to join us on our final evening. Without doubt this was the worst, most disgusting dinner I have every had in a hotel anywhere in the world. I ordered a pork fillet, I got a lump of uncuttable gristle, on a sloppy gloopy mound with burnt vegetables. I was inclined not to make a fuss to avoid spoiling the evening but my guests noticed I wasn't eating. A weak apology from the manager worsened the situation. An offer of a replacement came too late, the 4 other diners had finished their main courses. Our servers remained courteous throughout, it was not their fault. I would probably not have written this review, except the Krystal doubled down with a weak, wringing hands apology the following morning - My meal was not charged on the bill seemed to be the cure all remedy. Not so Krystal this was a most disappointing event which spoiled our evening and stay.

Family Eight Night Stay at the Krystal Beach Hotel

We are a family of four who had an 8 night stay at the Krystal Beach Hotel which we consider to be a five star rating (for a four star hotel). Excellent location with fantastic views over Gordon's Bay. Many great aspects to the hotel to support the five star rating including: the family room was very spacious for the four of us, comfortable bedding for excellent nights sleep, daily cleaning/maid service, friendly staff, healthy and filling daily breakfast, good range of meals and drink at competitive prices prices served in the restaurant, access to a gym and many other positive aspects
