The hotel is well located and absolutely gorgeous, while its size also makes it fairly private and serene. The restaurant staff and menu were pristine (I had the daily breakfast and dinner, twice and was satisfied) - I would go back again and again just for that part alone. The curated entertainment by the pool makes for a great addition as well.

The placement of the pool by the restuarant/bar area that is accessible to the public isn't ideal. A separate facility for hotel guests would be great, to allow for relaxation for whatever desired periods; without the fullness of people and the overall noise levels of outside patrons.

The stay at Coco De Mar was superb . From the warm hospitality of the staff to the cleanliness of the restaurant and pool area was magnificent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, Fabien has done an excellent job in that regard. The overall experience was fantastic, a truly world-class gem in the heart of Ballito on Compensation Rd. This is the prime-time boutique hotel in Ballito to stay at.

The noise over the weekends due to the bar area being a local watering hole for Ballito resident can be slight annoying sometimes.

The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect environment to unwind. As a single woman, I felt very safe and comfortable. The staff are all amazing. The double bonus is the restaurant on the ground floor! Breakfast is superb, actually all their food is top notch. Well done Coco De Mer & Fiamma Grill. I’ll definitely be back!!

There’s nothing to not like about this place.

The minute u walk in , an exclusive sense of paradise with charm galore. Delightfully, always booked luxurious elegant seaview rooms, so worth it! Everthing about Coco De Mer is of the finest quality from plush decor to the delightful restaurant to the irresistible sea views! Enjoy our stsy everytime! Ideally just a few steps away from the beach, a romantic walk is always a must everyday. A really exceptionally special beautiful hotel. Love it! ❤️

❤️ always love Coco de Mer!

Breakfast was very tasty, a great variety to choose from and they have pancakes my favorite. Aesthetics of the room was wonderful. Loved the room service , loved how they have complimentary ironing who does that wow. I enjoyed my stay. The spa is right down stairs and they bring you a blanket when having fruits and drinks outside there is even an option to bring it to your room. Restaurant staff was great as well.

I booked a table for dinner but I wasn’t aware I need to mention with or without a table cloth. I found that very weird as no one communicated this to us.

We liked mostly everything about this hotel especially the staff who were all wondeful. From the general manager to the reception and restaurant staff. Everyone was, always smiling and said hello. The food was very good and the fillet medallions were the best we have had anywhere. If we go back to Ballito we would stay there again.

The pillows were to hard but were changed on request. When people left the pool area the waiters could have cleared glasses and plates away quicker. I hated the fact they have real glasses and crockery at the pool. Glasses were often broken and the consequences could have been serious. Plastic would be the best alternative.

Lovely hotel so close to the beach front. Very clean with excellent parking and security. Room service was very good and food was excellent.

There was a quite loud mechanical humming noise in our room that we couldn't quite pinpoint. It stopped when loadshedding arrived to be replaced by the generators starting up. There was also a rather loud obnoxious woman in the foyer cursing and arguing with people for a long time and we could hear her from our room. Maybe she should have been dealt with quicker as we were trying to sleep for an early flight in the morning, so not necessarily the hotel's fault.

The breakfast options and service was incredible, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. A great small hotel close to the beach. Very spacious rooms with all the necessary facilities one would want.

The parking situation is a bit hectic. Some of the parking is parallel parking depending on your room, its quite tight and not something everyone comfortable with. The music at night is at times a bit loud but didn't last too long. And the shower drains may need a bit of maintenance as the water was rising but no overflow out of the shower so manageable.

We had a forest facing room and the jungle is amazing. A bird watcher’s paradise. It feels like you’re in Cairns Australia there is so much old jungle, and in the middle of the town. Yet at the same time you can get a sea facing room. The hotel is beautiful and very modern. The staff were fab and the location is so close to the beach. Perfect spot for a romantic getaway. Seems a sort of child free place which when you need timeout is so important.

Renovations but that’s to be expect

The location,the venue gives all views nature and modern amenities. There is a spa in the premises. The breakfast was great,it included veges and meat plus a choice to order from the menu. Their cappuccinos are the best. The staff take requests. I requested that my oats is soaked overnight and cooked it was done like that. I liked that the floors are tiles it was perfect as the weather is humid and carpets get stuffy.

With the hotel being this level,it doesn't have cellphone USB ports in the rooms.The hotel did not provide loan phone chargers to connect the cables but one staff in reception landed me his. ,face clothes but not a big deal as they have enough towels. They also didn't have pool towels so pack wisely.
