Well worth it - great value for money
I recently stayed at Krystal Beach Hotel and had an amazing experience. The check-in process was easy and quick, making for a stress-free arrival. The hotel offers great value for money, and the room was large, clean, modern, and very comfortable, with an excellent view. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The shower and bathroom were nice and well-maintained. The hotel is located in a great area with many different restaurant options nearby. The buffet breakfast was superb, and the live piano music created a relaxing and smooth atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I will definitely visit again!

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.

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.

A hidden gem and accidental find but so glad we came here to stay. Outstanding family room, which I felt was incredible value for what we paid. Very clean and comfortable, plentiful toiletries and amazing view. The communal areas of the hotel could have been cleaner but overall was acceptable. Breakfast was the only downfall for the duration of our stay. Very crowded, lack of tables, cutlery, food was sparse. Long waits for the coffee machine/chefs section.

Before arriving, we requested a cot for our little one. When we got there we had to remind them and they just put a single matras in the room. My husband ordered room service and waited and hour, when we phoned to follow up they never put the order in. We had no towels after the room was being cleaned so once again we had to go to reception. Overall our stay we did enjoy.
