Sky Island Resort

Amazing staff and lots of activities 😀 The walk to the beach is a little rough but is doable

WOW and WOW! We stayed for 4 nights in the luxury tents! We were a family of 6. My elderly mother could reach all places in the establishment without issue. The breakfast was fantastic! The dinners and christmas lunch we had was stunning! The decor and friendly staff amazed me! This is a MUST! We will return

The resort is situated on a 70 m high dune with spectacular views to the beach and the ocean. Unfortunately the size of the place has been reduced due to a land title conflict which also resulted in a change of the trail leading to the beach which is now quite steep. The chalets are nice, have comfortable beds and the showers work well - even hot water is available. The staff is very helpful and polite and the menu offers a good selection of food and drinks. The breakfast is however quite South African and in three days it was not possible to get what we asked for (omelette without anything)…once it was accompanied by bacon, once by beans, then by tomatoes. We were also wondering why no orange or pineapple juice was offered for breakfast although there were plenty of these fruits on the counter/bar. It would be good if the staff offered activities available to the visitors. In our case nothing was offered.

Our stay was overall really pleasant and relaxing. The hospitality of the staff was great, especially with their limited resources. However the entertainment, activities and rooms itself were disappointing.

This is a really beautiful place. Nice atmosphere, great service, and food, Great for families and couples. Beautiful views. Many activities you can enjoy, we did fishing and was superb. Nice beach nearby, 10 minutes walk. Highly recommended.

Ponta Malongane itself is off the beaten track and very rustic but also very charming. Sky Island lodge is a true gem in this rural community. The staff are incredible and nothing on earth could dampen their spirits. They are a crew of true professionals. Their service is top notch and on top of that the location is absolutely epic! What a place and what an amazing stay. Our two touring families really enjoyed the week we spent at Sky Island and will definitely be back there very soon! Highly recommended!

After getting over the initial disappointment that the "sea view" tents no longer exist, we had a very pleasant stay in tent #2. It was lovely to wake to the jungle sounds and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the staff are a very nice group of people. Of course you can't beat the amazing view from the large lawn facing the ocean. There is also a safe swimming area at the foot of the hill to the left of the path. We had dinner the first night at the restaurant and though it was tasty, we thought it was over priced. Suggestion: The website needs to be updated. We reserved because we wanted a "sea view" tent. Of the 3 jungle tent alternatives offered to us, only one was acceptable (#2). Number 3 had no corresponding toilet/shower unit and number 1, buried in the greenery, felt claustrophobic.

Chalet was clean and bed comfortable. Main complex not so much. Windows and handles of chairs were dirty. The main complex furniture is old and feels dirty. Our stay was for 7 days and 5 out of those days there was a serious shortage of variety on food and drinks. The food we receiced was ok. The staff is very friendly and try their best, but can't do much to please the guests without stock. We booked at Sky Island because it has an on-site restaurant, but ended up eating at other restaurants due to almost nothing on the menu being available. We celebrated our anniversary during our stay and the staff went to a lot of effort to try and make it special and catered for special requests.

Simpatia do pessoal, desde o momento da reserva, até ao último dia, sempre dispostos a ajudar. Local pacato, fora da zona mais turística da Ponta do Ouro, com os bungalows literalmente inseridos na vegetação, tanto é que uma das noites tivemos macacos a passar pelo telhado. Qualidade das refeições, desde o pequeno almoço bastante generoso e as outras refeições de excelente qualidade e requinte. O acesso à praia, em trilho com cerca de 30 metros de desnível. Não sendo um problema para mim, contudo poderá ser um obstáculo para pessoas com alguma dificuldade de locomoção. É conveniente a utilização de uma viatura 4X4 para aceder ao lodge. O lodge dispõe de atividade de paragliding. Nas imediações há outro lodge com atividades náuticas.
