Hotel is not the newest on the block but they are busy with renovations and improvements. This was not disturbing at all. Still an amazing stay though. Service was always friendly and no hesitation to assist with requests. Food is absolutely top notch, from breakfast to dinner. Would highly recommend to families.

Good location, good property amentities
I have stayed at La Montagne before and enjoyed it so we returned. This stay we were given an amazing 2 bedroom apartment right on promenade which was great for views and easy access to the beach. Only negative was that there were no extra blankets in the unit in winter and only 2 sets of towels for a family of 5. When we asked for extra towels, it took the entire day to get it after having to ask again in the evening. With blankets when we asked for an extra one, we were told sorry no extra blankets due to the dryer not working and no blanket was brought to us. On the whole the property is gorgeous with really excellent restaurants that are priced well with good service. We will be back in the future.

The hotel has great access to the main swimming beach and is very close to a Pick n Pay. The hotel is in need of some TLC. The hotel holds functions which was noisy for us being on the pool level but they did finish at a reasonable hour.
