First Group la Cote d'Azur

First Group la Cote d'Azur

📍 1 Manaba Beach Rd, Manaba Beach, Margate
★★★★ 8.9 (9 reviews)

"The Hotel itself deserves a solid 4. However, due to its location, Margate Town and Beach, I deducted a point. The town is sadly neglected, and the beach is polluted. With that said, the accommodation is very nice. The pool, children's playground, spa, and bar are very good. The rooms could do with some renovation but are still exceptional with a lovely private balcony, including braai."

"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."

The Beach Palace Ramsgate

📍 467 Shad Drive, Margate
★★★★ 9.5 (10 reviews)

"We had the most incredible time at The Beach Palace in Ramsgate! ✨ From the breathtaking ocean views to the luxurious and well-equipped accommodations, every moment felt like pure bliss. The attention to detail and the warm hospitality made our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach, and the tranquil atmosphere allowed us to fully unwind. Whether enjoying the stunning sunsets from the balcony or exploring the local attractions, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the team at The Beach Palace for making our getaway so special! We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend! ️"

Wailana Lodge

Wailana Lodge

📍 436 Ashmead Dr, Margate
★★★★ 9.2 (13 reviews)

"It was our first time at this B&B. The Wonder was very friendly at our arrival. He took our suitcases and carried them to our room. He was also very helpful. The location of this B&B is very nice, you have an charming view over The ocean. Why did I only give 3 out of 5? Here is why: - the complet house is smelling very unventilated and damp - The rooms don`t have fridges, you have one in the coffee bar, where everyone could help himself. So it is possible that you put something in the fridge and somebody takes it when he want`s - the coffee bar is poorly equipped and has a character of a hostel and is not very clean - the room we had two different door to the balcony, one with open squares, it is a good idea to cool down the room at night. But the fact that the squares are open, you also can get visitors into the Room you don`t want. The squares should be equipped with flyscreens. - the B&B has some maintenance necessary About the breakfast I can not Write because we had to drive early and did not join the breakfast."

"The unit was amazing with awesome views. We enjoyed the facilities. The swimming pool was amazing we really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped it was home away from home"

Santana Holiday Resort

Santana Holiday Resort

📍 11 Duke Road, Margate
★★★ 8.1 (2 reviews)

"Very pleasant stay, well maintained and secure property. The heated pool was a hit with everyone. Perhaps renting out beach towels may be a revenue stream that can be looked at otherwise a very relaxing and affordable vacation. The managing staff were very friendly and helpful - the cleaning staff were a bit morose possibly a result of having to work during this time of year ..."

"We visited Margate Sands during the first week of April 2025. Staff support was excellent. The unit itself, unacceptable. The air-conditioning system was broken. The stove plates were not working. The noise levels after 11 p.m. uncontrollably and loud. Won't be back."

"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 la Cote d'Azur ★★★★
"Beautiful stay cation venue. Despite a mess up in our reservation, the manager went way out to ensure we had a good time. Rooms are clean. Big and spacious and very well equipped. The ocean views are stunning. The pool is heated. The extra facilities like jacuzzi and squash court are chargeable which is disappointing. This venue is a walk to the beach. And close drive to the Spar."

The Beach Palace Ramsgate ★★★★
"The place was very clean and tidy, the host was very friendly and helpful and made sure we were okay at all times, we also really enjoyed the breakfast, the place was very peaceful and nice views of the ocean. The only issue i have is that the bathroom should have a sliding door for privacy in the suite that i stayed in, i also saw this comment from previous reviews and hope this is done for future guests."

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!"

"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."

First Group Margate Sands ★★★★
"It's disappointing when a hotel doesn't live up to its star rating. It seems like your experience fell far short of your expectations, and the only redeeming quality was the view. It's frustrating when accommodations don't meet the standards they advertise. I truly despised the fact that we were required to adhere to a timetable for water usage in the building. Additionally, halfway through preparing dinner, we were hit by load shedding, and despite the presence of backup generators, they failed to function, leaving us waiting for almost two hours until power was restored. Moreover, despite the hotel's rules prohibiting noise and drinking around the pool, these rules were flagrantly violated for about four hours with no intervention from staff. When I attempted to address the issue of load shedding with hotel staff, one intoxicated individual from the pool confronted me aggressively, as if looking for a fight. I tried to leave the hotel immediately after check-in due to the water crisis, which was only disclosed after I had already made payment. However, my request for a refund was met with refusal. As someone with many years of experience in the hospitality industry, I am sorry to say that this experience was nothing short of a disgrace."
