Find the Cheap Saldanha Hotels

This was an awesome spot in Saldana to stay out. The lodge was spotless and the dining was very good. Staff always accommodating and went out of their way to assist us with a xmas table although we did not book and they were fully booked. Tikka was so helpful in arranging this.

1. We checked in on Friday I think just before 18h00. The gate did not have a security to give us direction, we had to find our way and the was no parking. I was told to park outside and wait for the function to finish so that I can bring in my car when the parking is available. Apparently the parking was taken by customers who were attending a function. I was tired from driving almost 4 hours and wanted to rest and sleep early but I could not because my car was outside of the premises . I had to get my car into the premises just after 22h00. You must reserve parking for your sleep over guest and those attending the function must park their cars outside where I was directed to park my car. And I am pretty sure that the people who book your hotel for function are people from around the area and they are familiar with the area. I was not comfortable to leave my car in that open space of the shopping centre especially that the was NO security at all. 2. Room 25 that was allocated to me did not have a telephone. Each time I needed something I had to go to the reception because I can't phone and this was inconveniencing. I expected your hotel to have a telephone like the other hotels do. 3. Our room did not have a microwave to warm up our food, again I had to go down stairs to warm up my food. 4. We were told that the breakfast is from 09h00 – 10h00, we went to the kitchen around 08h30. I wanted more food but the was no food at 09h20 and we were told that the kitchen was closed. Same story on Sunday morning, breakfast was finished around the same time, the was NO fod. 5. On Saturday we ordered room service dinner and I was shocked to see that our food was not covered when it was delivered. I didn’t want to be difficult. 6. The food was nice, though thumbs up to the chef and the team

Crystal Lagoon Lodge is in a great location, right on the beach. We booked a room with ocean views which are breathtaking. The room is however tiny, barely big enough to swing a cat. There are no cupboards, just inadequate shelving so if you are staying for more than a few days be prepared to be cramped. The room has no aircon, something you would expect from a 4 star establishment. The room gets very hot and uncomfortable in the afternoons. Do not stay here if you are older or have a fitness issue - there is a very narrow round staircase you need to get up with your bags. The check-in staff were less than friendly and made no effort to assist with our luggage. The day we arrived there was no power. They do not have a power backup solution. We arrived with food items we could not refrigerate. Again unexpected from a 4 star establishment. The breakfasts are satisfactory however the service is below standard. Several days the cereals were not put out. When we enquired the one day we were told that they were doing a stock take. It was 8:30 in the morning! We will not be staying at this venue again. There are nearby venues which are competitively priced which offer a significantly better product.

Self check-in was convenient. The cottage is beautiful and has all the extra things you would need from a self-catering facility (dishwashing liquid, salt pepper and even board games). Surroundings are peaceful and the springboks on the property are a pleasant surprise.
