Fodor's Expert Review Blue Lagoon Hotel
17–19 Blue Bend Pl., East London, Eastern Cape, 5205, South Africa
Overlooking the mouth of the beautiful Nahoon River and within easy reach of Nahoon Beach, this is a great place for a low-key family beach break. The standard rooms are quite ordinary and lack views, but the family suites have magnificent views of the lagoon, the sea, or both. Each suite has two bedrooms, one bathroom with tub and shower, a well-appointed kitchen, a living room, and a spacious balcony. The restaurants ($$) are popular with locals—as much for the fabulous views as for the large menu of pastas, steaks, and fish dishes, plus a few interesting innovations thrown in.
PROS
- staff are friendly and warm
- there's an airport shuttle
- location is hard to beat
CONS
- it's a conference venue so can get noisy
- only the suites have river or sea views
- service can be a little disorganized
