The best my family and I have ever been to. From the beautifully decorated apartment with the most spectacular view to the pristine beach. Not forgetting Thea and her impeccable customer service and such a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely be going back.

Place is very neat and clean!
Saw dolphins from our room!!
The children loved the “upstairs” area with their own tv.
The swimming pool is amazing! Had some monkey visitors during our swim!
Would certainly go back.
Place is beautifully decorated!
Best vacation ever!

My stay at 17 Dorado Bay was a blast. It is the most high tech apartment equipped with every utensil in a kitchen a woman would want. Don't even mention the neatness, it is impeccable and cosy. I definitely would be visiting again as Bronwyn was so accommodating. Was really relaxing and I felt so at home.

Woke up to beautiful sunrise in the mornings. Amazing views of dolphins and whales. A beautiful and well kept home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn't get enough of it as i felt our week there was too short. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy a home away from home. Thanks Bronwyn for your wonderful, excellent and accommodating service.

Spacious, stunning and secure holiday home. Great location on the beach with spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and the most breathtaking sunrises I have ever seen.
Only 10 minutes scenic drive to Tiffany shopping mall, what a pleasure.
Thank you Bronwyn for been so accommodating and for an amazing, memorable holiday.

Not sure if there will be enough adjectives to describe this piece of paradise. If you are looking at escaping the City's rat race; getting your soul revived ; your body restored and just the general well being of your mind and soul. Make sure you buy your eats at Spar up the road before you get there because you don't want to get out of the apartment once you arrive. It is soooo safe. Pristine beach and the sounds of the waves just so some magic on your body - not sure what it is. Oh may I add the sunrise as just spectacular. Bronwyn - your home is everything and hundreds more. Thank you so very much to allow us to experience this paradise!!!!

Owner response : (2018-03-12)
Bridgette thank you so much for your fabulous review. I am so happy that we exceeded your expectations and that you savoured in the beauty of Dorado Bay and in particular found our apartment to be such a refreshing and relaxing environment. It is indeed paradise !

The week at Dorado Bay 17 was like a home away from home for us. The neat well equipped, luxury accommodation was as advertised. The natural surroundings and on the beach location, creates a wonderful break - away atmosphere.

Dear Bronwyn
I trust that this mail will find you and Jenni in good health.
I would like to thank you for the professional manner in the way how you and Jenni attended to our enquiry to stay at 17 Dorado Bay, from the start to the end it was only a pleasure to engage with you.
With regards to 17 Dorado bay, a “Home away from Home” this is an understatement……as you know I made the reservation for Karien and myself as it was our 32nd wedding anniversary and WOW were we surprised!!
The unit, if one may say so…..more like the “house” is absolutely gorgeous, it complied with all of our expectations and more….the view is absolutely breath-taking!!!
This was an awesome experience, comfortable stay and made an everlasting impression on us.
Thanks for the Champagne and Chocolates…. We will recommend your “Home away from Home” to our friends and family.
Regards.
Robbie Starke

Our stay was amazing! There's nothing better than waking up and sleeping to the sound of the ocean, staying in a beautifully decorated and spacious apartment. It really feels like your own and leaving it is so sad. We will definitely be back! Thank you Bronwyn and Jenni
