Very nice atmosphere here. The decor in the rooms at first sight was definitely tasteful and wonderfully put together. What I dislike about this hotel is the amount of roaches... More

Great location, fantastic view of the Sea, spacious rooms, decent breakfast with great settings, helpful and pleasant staff. Wifi fast and free. Pity was on a business trip and not holiday. Would surely like to spend a few days with family here. Casino good except they are too slow and take a lot of time in each shuffle.

Great, helpful staff. Beautiful location overlooking the Indian Ocean. Sea Cliff Hotel is located on a relatively quiet peninsula a bit outside the city center -- but that's not a bad thing. The hotel has a few restaurant options, with pretty good food, including a great, included breakfast.
