    I had an absolutely amazing stay at The South Gap Hotel! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The customer service was top-tier—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. A huge shoutout to the bartenders (Nicholasssss), who were not only skilled but also so much fun to talk to. They made my whole experience feel special! I was celebrating my birthday during my stay, and the hotel made sure it was a memorable one. They went out of their way to make me feel appreciated and helped make the day unforgettable. The overall atmosphere was perfect, and I truly felt taken care of. If I could rate this experience higher than five stars, I absolutely would. 20/10 all the way—highly recommend! Read less

    From our very first visit in 2008, we have loved the SGH. It just keeps getting better and better - if that’s possible! It is really all down to the staff. Friendly, helpful, genuine! Rooms are clean & comfortable, restaurant is delicious. Location so convenient! We always look forward to our return.

    Stayed here for 5 nights and could not fault this hotel . It was spotless and very modern . The rooms were cleaned daily and to a very high standard . The view directly on to the sea was spectacular with some of the comfiest sun loungers we have been on . Tried breakfast once which was delicious and lunch on 2 occasions all very high standard
