After a horrible night in JBayholidays owned and managed by an unprofessional owner, we left after one night as the place was smelly and a weird set up! We drove onto Southern Sun the Marine, where we were met with very professional friendly staff and a wonderful clean room and clean linen was provided. The entire experience was fantastic especially after a very bad night before. Highly recommend the hotel. All the people that work in the hotel are exceptional and make it a marvellous place to stay, Thank you for making our trip great!

Disaster from start to end. With the exception of Phumena who was extremely professional, helpful and friendly, the whole staff and management on duty was a disaster. They advertised a swimming pool which in fact is a bathtub on the roof, the rooms supposedly available on their websites were in fact not available, the ventilation in the bathroom was so noisy that we had a technician visiting four times till he gave up without fixing anything as it wasn't fixable. The AC was a joke, impossible to use as it was as standing next to an air jet taking off in terms of noise. A big thanks to Phumena who tried to fix some of the calamities of her colleagues and helped us finding a great city tour!

Verbleven 1 nacht bij groepsrondreis. Kamer met zicht op zee met slecht afsluitende ramen in enkel glas (wind vloog er door) wifi ok. Groot onpersoonlijk hotel. Avondeten in buffetvorm. Vis en vlees. Ontbijt ok. Paar broodsoorten en croissants. Bediening en afruimen ondermaats. Zwembad op dak is voetbadje.

Tried the Sunday Lunch buffet. Average spread. I expected alot more from such a high rated hotel. Not much for pescatarians. The seafood pasta dish lacked flavour. Salads and desserts were quite a disappointment. Drink service was slow even though there were a few diners.

Sea views were mostly hidden behind the salt spray on the windows and even then it was just a glimpse if you stand right at the window. Room was spacious but noise from showers and taps did carry through to the bedrooms.

Accomodation and rooms decent and comfortable. Lobby captured Christmas spirit with a nice Xmas tree but all the goodness was killed by the restaurant experience. 19:30 tried call room service and ended up going in person because noone picked up. Placed the order and waited. 22:00 Went to enquire why the food order never came. By now , everyone is at dining area , shouting to get food manager to account. She is hiding in the kitchen. 23:00 its too late to get alternative delivery options. We drink fridge water and sleep. Next day : 06:00 Am not risking my family to venture included breakfast in this horrible place. We gonna go out and look for a Wimpy. If you travel with diabetics and younger children do no book here.
