We absolutely loved staying at Santos Express. The staff was so friendly and helpfull, they treated us like family. We arrived way to early and they allowed us to look around between the cabins. We both love the ocean when we noticed our room had a tree view they went out of their way even thou they were almost fully booked to give us a beach view cabin. We Honestly did not want to leave when we had to. If we could we would have stayed even longer. We wil defnitely be back, it would be a hard to find another peacefull place like this.

Myself and my brother stayed over night I must say it's the best experience sleeping on a train on the beachfront absolutely stunning. I must say from arrival check in to lunch than bingo night breakfast the next morning everything was just absolutely perfect the staff that was on duty when we arrived Stacey and her fellow colleagues u guys are absolutely warm and welcoming. Bingo night was really fun I will definitely be bk.

We stayed for two nights at Santos Express, one night in one of the fancy compartments and the other night in one of the cheaper ones. Both were facing the ocean which was super nice, waking up to the sound of the ocean and view of the beach. In the fancy room we even had a terrace facing the beach. But the fancy room was an amazing experience as well, with its old wooden interior and history in it's walls. It was also fun to take a bath in the bathtub while on a train. The location was perfect, right at the beach and within walking distance to some nice restaurants. We recommend the kai 4 braai, which had excellent food. Santos Express also has its own restaurant, the breakfast was decent, if you only book the continental it's not that much of variety (bread, jam, yoghurt).

Very professional, excellent service, the rooms are so cute and awesome view

The view of the ocean and listening to the waves the whole night was great!

This accommodation was very fun and well located, being right on the beach. We stayed in one of the Royal Suites, a former historical train sleeper car, which we highly recommend. A great memory in and of itself. The restaurant, breakfast and service was great.

Excellent location, can not ask for better. Very nice breakfast.

The staff was very helpful and very friendly. The place is beautiful just a pity the weather was bad.

Cleanliness, friendliness and all round pleasant experience.

Love the location. Breakfast was very good. They even provided us with a braai grid, cutlery etc when we had a braai.
