- Lynn (10/5): Always return to the Beach Hotel - Our stay included breakfast which is always lovely, nice spread. Rooms are spacious and clean. Location perfect. Had a slight problem with bedding but staff always willing to sort out. It was the first time, all our stays have been perfect.
- Kenneth (10/5): - Great cozy hotel
- Sukanani (7/5): -
- Belinda (8/5): Quiet seaside stay - The hotel was centrally located with secure parking. There were restuarants in the hotel, so no need to look for elsewhere to eat. It was quiet at night. The carpets in the hotel look as if they could do with a good clean.
Breakfast, although tasty was cold, along with cold plates on the first morning. I do feel that they would benefit by having a cooking station, so that one could order fried eggs and possibly omlets. Scrambled eggs dry out very quickly when made in large quantities and left standing.

- Michelle (10/5): We will definitely book here again! - Location It was perfect
- Webster (9/5): - The locations, views, overall hotel everything is incredible. If you looking for a proper "professional" stay with incredible location, food and feeling this is the one Its a very small thing but with Check In they ask on booking what time do you want to check in on the booking but when you get there the room is not ready (this may be a once off as it was Iron Man Weekend). Second is due to it being established it feels like its missing that value add extra touch feeling (perfect hotel has everything but could use a baked cookie or something extra just to round out a elevated travel experience

- Jean-Marie (8/5): We hebben erg genoten van strand, zee en lekker eten - Het uitstekende restaurant (Ginger) dat bij het hotel hoort. Er kon/mocht niet ingecheckt worden voor 15u terwijl dit, afhankelijk van je vlucht, moeilijk te passen is.

- Judy (6/5): Because it was an overnight only, bed comfort being important, it was disappointing - location is great, hotel is lovely, breakfast was wonderful.
bed and bedding was not great. twin beds together, but different heights, and bedding not suitable sadly twin beds, made up as a double, but different highs.
- Ncedisa (5/5): Hotel in a great location that can do with an upgrade on the offering - The hotel is nice and clean, also nice location A lot needs to be updated, the towels in the rooms, the breakfast if I can mention a few things.

- Gerhardus Dirk (9/5): -
- Karin (8/5): Overall we really enjoyed the location, the friendliness of the staff and the food. - The dining room was beautiful and the breakfast had a large variety of food to choose from.
The room was very dark with hardly any view.
The location was excellent, on the beach and next to a huge shopping mall. The room was too dark and there was hardly any view. We did however book late over a very busy Easter weekend and other rooms had beautiful sea views.
- Lorretta (9/5): Absolutely beautiful hotel - Beautiful ‘old English charm’ type of hotel. Housekeeping needs a little reminder if a double room is booked then the ‘turndown treat’ should be one on each pillow, not one on one pillow. Same with the coffee and milk - dbl room needs an equal number of coffee sachets and milkies.
- Ronel (7/5): - Location Nothing
- Mercia (9/5): Home away from home - The ambiance in this property is welcoming and friendly Nothing
- Jurgen (10/5): - lekker ontbijt, super lekker restaurant en zeer vriendelijk personeel, super gelegen recht aan zee geen opmerkingen
- Potgieter (10/5): - The location was perfect for the event that we attended and the breakfast service was excellent.
- Shiraz (7/5): -
- Aviwe (8/5): -
- Bulelwa (8/5): Clean & comfortable beds,I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast and loved the convenient location. - I enjoyed breakfast & dinner Television outdated
- Nomfezeko (8/5): -
- Nicole (8/5): -
- Lars (7/5): Zweckmäßig für eine Übernachtung - Lage direkt am Strand, erscheint sicher, gut für eine Übernachtung vor dem Weiterflug
- Ditebogo (4/5): It’s was just okay, the views from the room were beautiful, it’s just the smelly carpets that I could handle. - The view The dirty and smelly carpets.
- Doreen (5/5): Won’t stay here again. - Location Our sheets were not fresh.
We notified reception. All we got was a “sorry”. No offer to rectify the situation.
- Olivia (10/5): -
- Hugo (10/5): -
- Carl (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Will definitely book again - Comfortable and well appointed.
- Khumalo (8/5): - I loved the service anything I needed I was helped No issues everything was good enough
- Bailey (7/5): OVERNIGHTER - GREAT FOR I NIGHT STAY NOTHING
- Marlène (10/5): -
- Marjorie (10/5): Great stay - Great hotel staff, lovely room, and they even packed me a breakfast box since I had to leave before 6 am.
- Tim (10/5): -
- Patrick (7/5): - Dstv signal and WiFi signal terrible
- Jana (10/5): - Location is great and convenient. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Comfortable rooms.
- Michael (10/5): Lovely hotel in great position - slow dinner service quicker delivery of meal 11/2 hours is too long
- fwfbiz (4/5): Xolani you make the difference - I chose this hotel over the others as my previous stay was outstanding. Xolani the duty manager was amazing and a stand out for us. His dedication to service is incredible.
The rest of the staff could not care about much.Why specify when booking your needs when they do nothing about it.Never take any of the rooms from 4 to 8 . Room 4 is terrible. The noise from the lounge area not pleasant. Looks like when booking with booking.com they give your worst rooms.
- Leon (5/5): - My room. No electricity
