Wow, Wow, Wow! I have been blown away by the flavours, hospitality & experience! My fiance decided to treat me to this amazing experience for my birthday, we had run into some trouble with regards to the printing of the tickets at Computicket. We literally went to two Checkers, one Shoprite & House & Home but the system was offline, luckily we booked our tickets online it was just the printing of the tickets left to do. We panicked because it was late afternoon, we contacted the The Beverly Hills Hotel & reception kindly gave us Pauls email to contact to resolve our printing mission. I then emailed Paul at 13:44PM, he responded at 13:49PM advising that he has received our booking and we can just enter with our confirmation email. Literally 5 minutes!!! How amazing and efficient is that?! We had arrived and we were seated by the poolside overlooking the ocean with a welcome drink, covid regulation were adhered to with sanitizers around and readily available. The staff were so accommodating & friendly, Big shout out to LLoyd for being such a superstar of a host! The 6 course experience with complimentary tea/coffee was truly surreal, the staff dressed up for each and every course as we were transported to different destinations to experience their authenticity. The food was way over the normal 5 star rating and the portions were so good, i left feeling super full & satisfied. In between courses we had a little comfort break where we could stretch our legs and use the bathroom while this allowed the team to sanitize the room we were seated in, there was also a chair space between each individual to allow social distancing and no transmission of Corona while my partner was seated directly across me. I was also treated to a little birthday dedication with a whole cool song and a huge slice of strawberry cheesecake with a personalized happy birthday. This was truly such a treat and the extra mile and effort that was taken is truly appreciated. The technical aspects of Le Petite & his funny yet entertaining journey we were brought on was exceptional and super intriguing! I would highly recommend that this experience is a must! It cannot properly be explained in words, the technical aspects, the timing, the food, the service are all exceptional and mind blowing! Well done Paul, LLoyd & team

6. The Thai Touch - Traditional Thai Massage Therapy

Reviewed By larishan2016 - Tulbagh, South Africa
Thai Touch Ballito is therapy for a weary mind, body and spirit. I schedule it twice monthly as the sleep after the massage is the dreamiest and most relaxing. My personal therapist MAM is a healer, she is the best and knows exactly which areas are problematic and heals them. I feel so relaxed and healed after the massage. It’s my favorite self-love gift. Everything is so professional and they are the most accommodating especially for professionals that finish work late. They always manage to accommodate us and if running late they call to inform us. It’s absolutely delightful .. highly recommended Thai oil massage 90min... best part is the clicking knuckles that brings relief and whole body stretch at the end Soothing medicine for the drained soul???? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We booked the Moonlight spa at Sibaya and had an awesome evening. We started with champagne, canapes of hummus and vegetables and full body massage with hot stones. We then had dinner, which i was rather disappointed with. It was essentially a chicken pie but in a roti roll. It was bland and not very good. This was followed by a head, neck and shoulders massage which was good. The then had desserts and after dinner amarula shooters followed by a foot massage. Overall the staff were amazing, so friendly and representative of true South African culture
