A great stay, at a well-maintained, comfortable unit. Amazing view of the beach, with a short car ride to most of the popular beaches.

Good, but could definitely be better. Very good location with a breathtaking sea view. Very good facilities, but the agent clearly did not check beforehand whether everything was in working order and sufficient. On the second night I realised that the lighter for the gas grill had been nerfed, and when the gas finally caught fire, it literally caught fire in my face (minus the eyelashes and arm hair). The next morning the agent brought a new lighter, and when I asked for it, soap bars for the dishwasher (there were none in stock). Wasn't needed anyway, because later that day I discovered that the dishwasher wouldn't drain. The agent said someone would come and fix it. And on the third night I discovered that the gas bottle for the same gas grill was empty. The agent's reply that I could have let them know at any time that the gas bottle was empty, in any case only confirms that the agent did not check the facilities beforehand to make sure everything was sufficient and in working order. This unfortunately ruined what is otherwise a fantastic holiday destination.

Goed, maar kon definitief beter. Baie goeie ligging met asemrowende see-uitsig. Baie goeie geriewe, maar die agent het duidelik nie vooraf nagegaan of alles in werkende toestand en voldoende is nie. Die tweede aand het ek besef die aansteker vir die gasbraaier is nerf-af gewerk, en toe die gas uiteindelik vlamvat, het dit letterlik in my gesig vlamgevat (minus ooghare en armhare). Die volgende oggend het die agent 'n nuwe aansteker gebring, en toe ek daarvoor vra, seepblokkies vir die skottelgoedwasser (daar was nie in voorraad). Was in elk geval nie nodig nie, want later die dag ontdek ek die skottelgoedwasser trek nie water nie. Die agent het laat weet iemand sal dit kom regmaak. En die derde aand ontdek ek dieselfde gasbraaier se gasbottel is leeg. Die agent se antwoord dat ek enige tyd kon laat weet het dat die gasbottel leeg is, bevestig in elk geval net dat die agent nie vooraf die fasiliteite nagegaan het om seker te maak alles is voldoende en in werkende toestand nie. Dit het ongelukkig afbreek gedoen aan wat andersins 'n fantastiese vakansie-bestemming is.

We had a wonderful stay, the unit is truly on the ocean! Unbeatable view. We had a wonderful stay, the unit is truly on the sea! Unbeatable view. The complex was peaceful and we were able to rest wonderfully. Wish we could have stayed longer! See 8 The Islands again hopefully soon!

Ons het heerlik gebly, die eenheid is werklik op die see! Onverbeterlike uitsig. Ons het heerlik gebly, die eenheid is werklik op die see! Onverbeterlike uitsig. Die kompleks was rustig en ons kon heerlik rus. Wens ons kon langer bly! Sien 8 The Islands hopelik weer binnekort!

Excellent, spacious, safe and very well maintained. Positives: Very welcoming, clean and spacious. Amenities were great. Excellent condition and all items in the flat were of excellent quality. Negatives: Daily cleaner came in very late - we left to go out in the morning and when we came in the afternoon, the cleaner arrived. She was cleaning while we were trying to relax and have lunch, which was a bit of an inconvenience.

Thank you for the kind review. Please remember to let us know in future if you would like early day services as we can plan around that if we are aware that you don't want afternoon services. We always try to work around convenient times for our guests.

Very nice stay. Beautifully furnished. Breathtaking view. Yama's was tricky because already broken on the door. Tumble dryer didn't work because the rack was down.

Baie lekker gebly. Pragtig gemeubileer. Uitsig asemrowend. Yama's was tricky want reeds gebroke op die deur. Tumble dryer het nie gewerk nie want die rek is af.
