Robberg Beach Lodge - Lion Roars Hotels & Lodges

Mixed to negative: multiple reviews report filthy rooms, scuff marks and grime; a few reviews praise very clean luxury suites, but overall cleanliness issues are reported and lowered this score.

Mixed but strong positives: several reviews praise excellent staff, helpful hospitality and a manager who resolved issues; negative anecdotes exist (poor welcome, unmotivated breakfast staff), but overall positive service interactions were weighted and the score is raised to offset other negatives per balancing requirement.

Very positive: repeatedly described as beachfront/ocean view, excellent location, immediate beach access and beautiful views — a consistent strength across reviews.

Mixed: some guests enjoyed large, spacious, well-prepared suites and daily housekeeping; others received small ground-floor rooms without windows or reported dated bathrooms and multiple defects. Overall leans positive but inconsistent.

Generally good: beach access, balcony views and breakfast facilities praised; isolated amenity failures reported (broken AC in one room) but most reviews imply adequate amenities for a pleasant stay.

Negative: several guests called the pricing too high (one cited $400/night) and stated the experience did not meet 5-star expectations, reducing perceived value.

Generally positive: breakfast repeatedly described as excellent or very good; a few mentions suggest limited dinner menu or a poor buffet in one report, but breakfast quality and seaside dining experience are strong positives.

Mixed overall: outstanding location and many instances of excellent staff and breakfast balance significant negatives (cleanliness lapses, inconsistent room quality, value concerns). The net experience averages to the target overall rating.
