Exceptional service but room quirks
Waking up to the sound of the waves and the aroma of fresh pastries was a delightful start. The staff were genuinely attentive and always eager to assist.
However, we encountered inconsistencies with the shower's water pressure, which was disappointing for such a luxurious stay. It slightly bogged down our experience.

great stay but some room for improvement
The attention to detail impressed me during my 3-night stay. Breakfast featured a fantastic selection, including oysters each morning, which was a delightful surprise.
The shower could use a better water pressure.

Staying at the Oyster Box was a delightful experience. The sea-view room offered grandeur and charm, while the attentive staff, especially during breakfast, truly shined. Although the bar service could improve, the overall ambiance and location make it worth it for any traveler.

This hotel suits me perfectly with its amazing spa, delicious dining options, and attentive staff. I remember my first stay when they helped me find parking, which was a great start. I highly recommend enjoying the curry buffet!

The Garden-Facing Loft Room was pretty cool! Super comfy bed, and the ocean views from the balcony were a real treat. The decor was charming and had a cozy vibe to it. They even included a small bed for my nephew, which he loved. I did wish the air conditioning could’ve been colder, but it was manageable. Overall, a pleasant spot to kick back and relax!

I loved the breathtaking ocean views from my room! 🌊 The staff were super attentive, making everything perfect. My only small letdown was the air-conditioning, which didn’t cool as much as I’d hoped.

The dining scene at Oyster Box was a delight! The ocean terrace breakfast—with its scrumptious spread—offered everything from light salads to hearty breakfast fare. Plus, the iconic Lighthouse Bar is just a stone's throw away, perfect for sundowners while spotting passing dolphins! The staff, especially Wesley and Clive, were top-notch and made us feel right at home.
A minor hiccup was the mix-up with my friend's wine—no one likes extra charges for what’s already been paid!

I stayed for two nights in a Classic Room with Sea View. The staff's attention to detail was magnificent. Zanele at reception went above and beyond by giving me a tour of the property. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach, with stunning ocean views to wake up to. However, I faced some issues with the water pressure in the bathroom and the wifi connection. Overall, the extraordinary breakfast and friendly service made this trip a memorable one.

Exceptional service stood out, with a personal welcome and thoughtful gestures like wine upon arrival. The spacious garden-facing loft room was immaculate and provided the privacy and tranquility we sought, while the dining experiences were top-notch, especially the extraordinary curry buffet. The only drawbacks were finding limited nearby pharmacy options and some food prices leaning towards the higher end, but overall, the attention to detail made for a truly memorable stay.
