Check in was efficient and quick. Although everyone seems to want a copy of our identity nowadays. Room is spacious, neat and clean. Aircon, LCD TV, bar fridge, desk, lounge chairs. The toilet is dripping which might be annoying this evening. It is close to the beach and the casino. Which is convenient. But I am in room 1 which... More

Great location, but too old, rooms and lobby needs a urgent renovation. Staff good, everything was clean. There are too restaurants inside the building. Parking and Internet are free. In front of the hotel there is a park, where you can walk. Not a bad choice, but I would look for a newer hotel next time.

Compared with other hotels we stayed in during out holiday in South Africa the Beach Hotel felt quite ordinary. Having said that, our room was perfectly adequate, reasonable size, comfortable bed and we could just about see the sea from our window. The breakfast was good with the option of selecting cooked breakfast from a menu. Well located across the... More

Just returned from lengthy stay in South Africa which included 2 day stay in Beach Hotel. This hotel has a nice comfortable feel about it. It doesn't look very big from the outside however this is fairly deceptive. Bedrooms well appointed, spotlessly clean, food very reasonably priced. Ginger Restaurant which is very popular in the resort is actually part of... More

We've visited The Beach Hotel numerous times for meals and refreshments and have always found it to be welcoming and maintaining service standards frequently missing from newer hotels in the district. The turnover of key staff seems to be about zero which results in smiling friendly faces every time you enter. Today we simply called in for a light lunch,... More

We have stayed in this hotel four times now and love it. The rooms we had this time before and after our safari trip were very good clean and bright ,unlike the previous reviewers experience. My wife had a bad fall before arriving at the hotel and the receptionist quickly found us a doctor who arrived at the hotel within... More

We stayed here for one night before moving onto a game reserve. For one night the hotel was ok, It has a lovely position on the sea front and had a bar with a verandah taking advantage of this view point. But rooms need a face lift, decor is dated, carpets are worn and lighting is dull particuarly if you... More

We stayed here for one night before going on safari. The hotel overlooks the main beach (ocean freezing even in summer!) and there are lovely views at night from the bar area. The rooms were comfortable and clean, nothing to complain about. The aircon in my parents room was broken but within minutes the manager gave them the key to... More

Stayed at the Beach Hotel end of nov 2012 with my wife during 3 week holiday. Lovely location overlooking a beautiful beach. However this is not a genuine four star hotel i'm afraid. Room was acceptable and had a balcony and two chairs. The bathroom was well below the standard of a four star rated hotel. It looked very tired... More
