Top Hotels Near Balaclava Beach in Balaclava from NZ$76

"Fake man made beach but well designed. Rooms good, amenities good. Use the “all-inclusive” feature if staying here. Expensive to dine and drink otgerwise"

"Where can I start! The grounds are stunning, rooms very clean.. staff is absolutely amazing. Food is also top notch at all of the restaurants. The morning buffet is amazing and the dinner buffet is equally amazing although to me just a tad pricey. We stayed in a suite and I can tell you that it was very comfortable. A bit aged but very comfortable. I would recommend this property 100 percent. "

"The hotel is one of the best I have visited in the world. The service, the staff at all levels were exceptional. The food in the dining room was excellent. Each of the hotel staff went out of their way to do us good. Really great. Highly recommend."

"Yes the Tv did not work at all during my first night at the property. Despite reporting several times and staff keep promising this would be sorted, no one came from maintenance .. "

"The villa, pool and pool area were just as described and very clean with air conditioning in all the bedrooms (a must in summer temperatures!). The villa was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for an extended stay. In terms of location, the area is generally quite peaceful although there is not much by way of restaurants/bars in the immediate area so transport is a necessity if you want to eat out. That said, we decided not to hire a car and instead used a local taxi driver who was very reasonable and extremely reliable for trips to shops and sightseeing.A small negative for us was that we found the mattresses on the beds to be rather hard and uncomfortable. While we appreciate mattress preferences vary, there was only a very thin mattress protector under the bottom sheet so the owners might want to think about investing in some decent mattress toppers to give guests a better nights sleep.Mary, the housekeeper, was great, she was very responsive and quickly dealt with any issues as they arose. Over the one month period, the villa, gardens and pool were cleaned and maintained regularly. This villa is not ‘in the thick of things’ but we found it perfect for a relaxing break in the sun."

"Hotel was good and staff excellent. I tried to cancel day 6 of our stay, I gave them 5 days notice that my flight was for Jan. 25th. there accounting office would not refund day 6. I will not stay or or encourage anyone else to stay there because of there attitude. It may cost them more in lost sales than the 1 night not refunded. "

"Clean room Good staffs "

"Beautiful beach and location. Staff were excellent . Shout out to Gini on front desk and David one of the restaurant managers who went out of their way to help me. Also thanks to duty manager who met me on my check out to see how my stay had been. This hotel has everyone at an affordable price "

"The rooms are nice and spacious. The landscaping and beach access are great. Good spa area and wellness spaces. However overall the shared spaces such as pools and restaurants are tired and in need of an upgrade. The staff were nice but there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between staff members and service could be slow. Food and cocktails were average."
