Formosa Bay

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Formosa Bay. Generally, my desires in booking accommodation are minimal. There must be cleanliness, space in the room and at least, access to Wifi and a decent amount of channels to watch on TV, beyond the basics. Formosa Bay provides all of this. The resort also has a small restaurant set up and breakfast comes with "vouchers" which off sets some of the costs. You can also order alcoholic beverages and set out on a deck overlooking a beautiful, natural landscape. I found the service to be kind, from reception through to those working in the eating area. The food was also of a good quality. I admit we did not take full advantage of all the facilities. There are 2 pools and a gaming area. There are also tennis courts. The location is also a 5-10 minute drive from the sea. It's located right on the N2 for travelers passing through Plett. We stayed there during the Christmas season and enjoyed ourselves. If interacting with diverse guests are your desire, then that is not what I experienced. I do not know why. But this could also have been the timing of our stay, which was during the Christmas season. I would definitely recommend this resort. We stayed on the eastern side of the resort. Not all rooms have self-catering services so ensure your booked room includes this if that is what you need and desire. Oh, something strange happened for a Christmas traveller. We requested clean bedding but the staff were away for the special days. We received a note saying no cleaning was allowed. I understand respect for Holy Days but do believe that service should continue nevertheless. Pay staff more during this time. What if the bedding was cleaned with spilt coffee or something? Does that mean no cleaning or clean blankets or sheets? I went to reception and eventually got service, even though I was told they "might" help me ;)

Spectacular accommodation. Home away from home. Absolutely clean. Beds are a dream. Relaxing atmosphere and the most friendliest hospitable Reception welcome and staff ever! Will definitely be back......Benjamin Family

This place is absolutely FILTHY! For anyone wanting to stay at Formosa Bay Resort I highly recommend that you do not waste your time. After we arrived and weren't happy with our chalet they moved us to another chalet which the people didn't arrive yet. we still complained and the resort manager said that unfortunately the cleaning staff will only be back about 3 days before we left. We left early as we have a 8 month old baby and did not want to get her sick in such a filthy environment. We are now struggling to get a refund on our stay as the resort management says that there was nothing wrong with our chalets. NB These photos were taken in TWO separate chalets. I still have a load of pictures, but unfortunately I don't have the time to upload everything. Please do not waste your time, money or expectations on this place.

We went during school holidays so resort was fairly quiet. Ideal for families but as a couple we enjoyed it. We had a large comfortable room with good a/c. Very convenient position. Staff friendly and helpful. Overall we thought it was good value

What an amazing Resort and perfect location close to town and the beach. But far away to ensure a quiet and peaceful stay. Safe and secure with easy access to the main road. Lots to do for the entire family. Even during loadshedding they provide lights to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Formosa Bay is timeshare/self catering resort in Plettenburg Bay. With well appointed chalets, clean and well looked after. There is lots activities at the resort even a warm water pool. Lots of furry visitors are there looking for a carrot to eat. The resort is not far from the beaches Lookout and Central, also the town is only a few kilometres away.

This is a very friendly family orientated venue that is very nice and secure. The room we had was vast and very modern and comfortable with a nice balcony. Lots of fluffy bunnies running around, great for kids and very safe. As a couple we still enjoyed it, although the restaurant does shut very early (6pm). Plenty of car parking, very friendly staff and the food is very good. Very nice resort, no real complaints.

The resort is very neat and well maintained. Easy access to all amenities, via a paved walk way. Chalets are very modern. No wifi in chalets which is a downer especially if you want to work while on holiday. Sleeping space for children under 12 not suitable. Would prefer a proper sleeper couch or bunk beds. The benches are not safe as they can roll off. On site restaurant very nice with the most divine waffles and friendly staff.

This is a good and accessible option to visit Plett. The staff are friendly and efficient. The cottages are a full one bedroom house, with lounge / sofa sleeping options for children. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a gas stove and there is a generator for blackouts. The bedding is high quality, the TV full package, but one negative the wifi is weak and another one has to leave one's bed to switch off the night light. The wifi is not sufficient for serious internet use. The patio with a great braai which is cleaned early every morning. Buy carrots for the bunnies, they're not that interested in cucumbers or tomatoes or lettuce, but are cute. The pool near the shop remained hidden till my last day, and is warm water. There is also a gym with a cupboard type sauna. Its a good venue.
