First Group Costa Smeralda ★★★

📍 Finnes rd, Marine Dr, Margate

"The reception and service we received from Nomonde was 5 star, she made our stay a pleasant one. very accommodating and always willing to go an extra mile to assist with all the establishment's needs. Not to forget the cleaning crew that ensured our rooms and all utilities remained clean at all times. In a nutshell, they were like family away from home. We will be coming back for sure. An improvement will be to extend the WIFI to the rooms, it will surely be a huge plus factor."

The Beach Palace Ramsgate ★★★★
"The Beach Palace Ramsgate We were warmly welcomed by Alida, an exceptional individual who made us feel immediately at home. The property is remarkably spacious and offers a plethora of activities, eliminating the need to venture outside. One of the most notable advantages is direct access to the beach, eliminating the inconvenience of driving. My children thoroughly enjoyed the pool and entertainment area, while the gym catered to our family's fitness enthusiasts. This accommodation surpassed our expectations and provided an exceptional experience. The service was truly outstanding, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable stay for my family."

Wailana Lodge ★★★★
"Absolutely amazing experience at Wailana Lodge! The warmest and most welcoming host, Rene, made our stay unforgettable. He is truly one of the nicest people we've ever met in the world. The view from the lodge is simply breathtaking; there's nothing better than enjoying breakfast while gazing at the ocean and watching whales. Rene even provided us with a wonderful binocular to enhance the experience! The coffee was delicious, and the hotel's grounds are delightful, featuring comfortable loungers, a lovely pool, and everything you could possibly need. We would have happily stayed longer if we could! Highly recommend Wai lana Lodge to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!"

Margate Beach Club ★★★★
"It was our first time at Margate Beach Club and just a word of advice. When booking try and book a sea facing room, they are stunning and well worth it. We had a non sea-facing room. Small and depressing unfortunately. The Generator also had a catch, on but only on at set times, we only found this out at the room. On a super hot evening with loadshedding at 03:00-05:00..horrible.. otherwise than that the resort is lovely, the staff very welcoming and stunning pool and views, from outside and sea facing rooms !"

First Group Margate Sands ★★★★
"Best Bean bunny Margate, Ramsgate, Shelly Beach. Everywhere. Visiting folks in Margate for a month or 2. Used to Durban bunny chow and the big names there like Hollywood bunny bar, Britannia, Cane cutters. Tried a few places here on the South Coast but nothing satisfied.That is untill I found Resh's... I have been living on bean curry's for the last 8 years. If a restaurant can do a bean curry right you know they know what they are doing. Authentic Durban flavours! A match for the big boys any day! Their curries are the best, but there's a variety of dishes on the menu. Follow them on Facebook for daily updates. Tried all the rest, here on the South Coast, Resh's is the best. They have WhatsApp delivery or available on uber... Cater for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans alike. A must try if you're on holiday!"

Margate Hotel ★★★
"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."
