About this hotel

An infinity pool over the sand

An infinity swimming pool sits above the beach with a sun terrace and gardens behind it, and direct beachfront access below. Wedge Beach is the stretch of sand in question and Goose Valley Golf Club the nearest inland attraction. Rooms are air-conditioned, which earns its keep in a February heatwave.

Spa, steam room, yoga

There is a spa with a steam room and yoga classes on the schedule, which puts this at the more deliberate end of a Plett holiday. Rooms have private bathrooms and modern fittings, and a 24-hour front desk handles the late arrivals without making a performance of it.

Mediterranean, with a gluten-free option

The restaurant is Mediterranean and family-friendly, with vegetarian dishes on the menu. Breakfast covers continental, full English and gluten-free, which is more thought than most hotel kitchens give it. WiFi is free throughout and so is the airport shuttle, which is rare enough to be worth saying.

The numbers behind the hotel

A hundred and forty-three guests have rated it 9.3, and couples scored the location 9.6. Those are the guests' figures rather than our verdict, but a hotel holding that average across that many separate stays is doing something consistently right. The spa and the kitchen do the rest of the persuading.
