We had a great 2 night stay at The Lofts. The apartment had so much space and was really comfortable.
The location was perfect for eating out in the evenings on the Island.
The complimentary kayak's and free Corona fridge (1 hour every evening) is a nice touch.
Our apartment had a small balcony but not a great view, we didn't mind too much for our short time there but check the rooms if you want a sea/lagoon view.
The facility is beautiful, in a renovated historic building. Our apartment was spacious and well decorated. We enjoyed sunset overlookimg the bay in tne deck. The staff was very helpful, especially the concierge Dylan. He was so welcoming, friendly interesting and helpful. He suggested some fabulous hikes one in Wildnerness and one in Plettenburg Bay.
Everything about the hotel was lovely - the room decor, comfort, position, service, food - my only complaint is there was a lot of noise early in the morning from the restaurant.
This place gets 10 stars from us. The room was our best yet, both restaurants were amazing, the staff was at our service for anything we needed. We made use of both restaurants, our balcony, the deck and the kayaks. We would definitely recommend the Lofts!!
Stay was amazing. Actually extended for an extra night. The staff were courteous, welcoming, friendly and professional.
The views from the deck were exceptional, especially at sunset.
The rooms were clean, big, with an outside patio.
The ambience & feel of this hotel felt very comforting & pleasing. The staff is very helpful & amiable. We stayed in the lagoon room which had a very good view of the lagoon. The room was big and comfortable. The breakfast served was wonderful.
Overall, highly recommended.
Perfect in every way. Lovely lagoon location on Thesens Island, welcoming staff, personal attention, beautifully appointed and decorated, and gorgeous breakfast.
The Lofts is excellent- very friendly and helpful staff (Carla at reception in particular), the room is extremely spacious and comfortable, a large patio with chaise longue and a large walk-in shower. Breakfast was superb quality. All in all a great place to stay.
