The Beach Palace Ramsgate
9.5 (68 reviews)

The Beach Palace Ramsgate ★★★★

📍 467 Shad Drive, Margate

"My family and I spent this past weekend at The Beach Palace Ramsgate (18th-20th October 2024). Alida and the rest of the staff were pleasantly welcoming and hospitable throughout our stay. They were meticulous in everything they did and we were made to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Positioned in a quiet, safe area, The Beach Palace itself is absolutely gorgeous with it's sophisticated interior and exterior design. Perfectly manicured lawns, well maintained gardens, pool and gym area, as well as spectacular sea views all add to its luxurious ambience. We were treated to a scrumptious breakfast each morning and all amenities were available to us which we took full advantage of even though the weather was not entirely on our side. We still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Putting all of this aside though, I find it important to make this known... my sons are autistic and it makes us extremely anxious to take them out of their routine for fear of meltdowns or tantrums. However, this weekend we all enjoyed two nights of uninterrupted, peaceful sleep which is the most we've had in the past 3 years. The Beach Palace is actually therapeutic in the sense that it provides a sensory experience for children like mine with it's wide open spaces, lush greenery and the sounds, smell and feel of the ocean. The result of this was that they were more regulated during the day, eliminating the need for any other intervention. Parents in the autistic community will agree with me when I say we would give a vital organ to experience just one day of "normality" and we got to experience two! I would highly recommend The Beach Palace when considering a family holiday especially if you have a child on the spectrum."

📍 4 Margate Dr, Margate

"From the Drakensberg Mountains, we returned to Margate on the Wild Coast. From the villa, it was only a few minutes to the Indian Ocean, where we were able to spot whales. We had a wonderful view of the ocean from our room."

First Group la Cote d'Azur

First Group la Cote d'Azur ★★★★

📍 1 Manaba Beach Rd, Manaba Beach, Margate

"Beautiful bright and breezy apartments overlooking Lucien beach across to Margate. Very clean. Has everything as if you're at home. Ironing board, all kinds of kitchen and entertainment crockery. Comfy bed with beautiful white linen and an assortment of pillows. Heated pool with bar and restaurant nearby. I love it falling to sleep with the crashing of waves on the rocks below. Maintenance staff come quickly eg TV, aircon and clean up your braai. "

Margate Beach Club
8.8 (246 reviews)

Margate Beach Club ★★★★

📍 5 Duke Rd, Margate North Beach, Margate

"My son and I had a gorgeous stay in one of their penthouses with a pool and private braai. The unit has two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen with a gas hob. Above this, it has DSTV and even YouTube. There is free Wi-Fi. The staff cleans the unit daily, washes dishes, and makes the beds. Ideal for two men! The unit is more 5-star than 4-star as classified. The right place to unwind and relax! Johan"

First Group Margate Sands ★★★★

📍 10 William O'Connor Dr, Margate

"Margate sands resort is truly amazing. I booked 3 units, so a big family attended so I was a little stressed out, but at the end it was the best ever holiday with my family. And all thanks, due to Margate Sands staff accommodating my needs with no complaining. From the GM Leonard who exceeded my expectation and personal attention to detail is remarkable – Thank you Sir. All staff, to name a few that I remember (Was in high spirits), Charles, Silindile, Porters, Cleaners, Abigail (A true asset to Margate Sands- Know her for over ten years-awesome in entertaining), Monica, pool, and braai gents, ever so helpful. Continue with the Freddy dance, nice touch and the serving of Hot Drinks and Muffin at the pool area is very relaxing. The resort/outside is very clean and well maintained. My family also gave excellent feedback. Keep it up and I will continue comming."

Margate Hotel ★★★

📍 3139, Marine Dr, Margate

"Decent hotel, seems like it’s newly renovated so I’m guessing the bad reviews are from before the renovations. Glad I took the risk and booked it. Great location close restaurants the beach and a little shopping centre. Check out is a little too early though. Average good hotel would stay here again."

"from the minute we walked in you surrounded by this serene environment that relaxes you. The place is so modern and the rooms are stunning, we so comfortable and enjoyed the stay.

First Group la Cote d'Azur ★★★★
"We arrived late. It was dark and raining. the time was 7p.m. We asked if there was somewhere in the hotel where we could order a sandwich. We were told that the coffee shop was closed and if we wanted to get something the Spar was up the road. My husband kicked up a fuss and they reluctantly came forward with a menu from the local pizza place. Seeing the coffee shop was only supposed to close at 8 this was a poor show. Accommodation was satisfactory. Serviced only twice a week. Wonderful patio. Have to pay extra for aircon. This timeshare needs to be remember that one goes on holiday to relax. Not to wash dishes after e very meal. Unfortunately couldn't go down to the beach because the rains had washed the walkway away. We went to report this to the management who denied any knowledge of it.. Other than that a pleasant stay. Would we stay there again. No. Better accommodation elsewhere in Natal with service every day. Normal proximity to the beach at normal times is first class"

"We are a family of 4 and only had a 1 sleeper apartment, with kids sleeping on sleeper couches. Had an absolute blast! On 2nd floor with sea view. Enough amenities to keep teenage kids busy too. Loved it!! Walking distance from beach & restaurants. Close to shops."

First Group Costa Smeralda ★★★
"Costa Smeralda has always been a special place for my family, and myself. We’ve been visiting for many years. The resort is ideally situated, in the most perfect and calm area. The facilities at the resort are always on point for beachfront self-catering units. When you arrive at the resort and immediately park your car, you know that the holiday is going to begin. The resort gives the best holiday feeling over the rest. Staff are always friendly and helpful, especially Tracy, Alfred, and Gladness. Unfortunately Kathy is no linger at the resort and has retired. The units at Costa Smeralda have unfortunately deteriorated to the point where upgrades are urgently needed, especially in the kitchens and bathrooms. The units are always neat and clean, and we’ve never had any issues with cleanliness. The security gates at the sliding doors also need to be replaced, as well as some of the furnishings in the lounge. The overall units need a big make over and TLC. Also I know it was due to cost saving, but the dishwashers and washing machines used to make it “THE” self catering units. The views at Costa Smeralda are the some of the best, especially in Units 4,5,6 in the front block. Some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Bonus for me at Costa is the nice braai on the balcony- braai with a view. The walks on the promenade in-front of the resort are always great, walking along the seaside, and fishing pier all the way to the main beach and restaurants. Costa Smeralda will always remain a go to holiday destination for us, however I prefer having my holidays in some of the resorts that are a bit more upgraded. Costa you will always remain a GEM!"
