Guest reviews for Blyde Canyon, A Forever Resort

Everyone (1)
3 out of 5
one of the only options in the area, this place is very large. I was surprised to see so much "lawn" and all the sprinklers considering the drought. It was nice that there was a small convenience store for snacks and some basics, and the restaurant was open even around 3-4pm. However, the power went out when we first arrived, with no explanation, and came back on an hour or so later, and then the following morning it went out without warning again, and was off through our checking out. Not sure if power outages are "normal" in this area, but was a bit frustrating for making tea and getting ready. Views were quite nice, but at the best one, there was a group of guys smoking, which made it a bit smelly and uncomfortable to sit and enjoy the view. Be prepared to pay if you want to hike any of the trails, too. They charge a fee for a trail permit.
