A True Haven

This resort has a breath-taking view of the beach and the accommodations are beyond excellent. Having the restaurants on the property was an extra convenient bonus; the food and service was wonderful! The management and staff @ Brenton Haven is warm, welcoming & accommodating.

The villa unit was very comfortable and had lovely sea views from the main room and balcony. The housekeeping was good, just need more attention to detail when replenishing tea sachets for the next morning. Reception was initially not overly welcoming, but thereafter a gent named Nkosi was excellent in helping us.

Our stay was wonderful. As a single mom, I felt security visibility would have been comforting. Maybe consider having securities at night during peak periods.
