On a last minute business trip, I decided to make a trip of it and took my mother along for a bit of a treat. As a person in the media industry that travels a lot, Ive stayed in numerous hotels. The staff are extremely helpful and make you feel at home. The location is amazing but sadly the room... More

Stayed here two nights, and found it most agreeable . . . has 3 restaurants also, only tried Ginger, but that too was .. The hotel arranged bike hire for us, which was nice, and biking is easy on the flat sea front. The views were great, and the staff friendly. The room was clean, and couldn't have asked for... More

We stayed one night at The Beach Hotel at the start of 6 days travelling along the Garden Route. Initially we were given a room on the first floor that was dark, old fashioned and had a restricted view of the sea. There was a problem with the air conditioning and after initially trying to fix it, the hotel moved... More

The rooms are in need of an update. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was below average, but the restaurant adjacent/connected was very good. More

My family and I stayed 1 night at The Beach Hotel at the start of our week traveling the Garden Route. The hotel itself is older and a little worn, although that is somewhat off-set by the personality of the property. The rooms themselves were looking their age but were at least reasonably clean. The majority of the staff were... More

The hotel is a wonderful place. We had a light lunch in the lounge of this grand hotel. The staff very very friendly and attentive. The menu presented was stylish and the meal sublime. My friends from the UK, have enjoyed their visit to PE. We shall be coming back again in February 2012. More

Stayed at this hotel for one night . Chose it because of it's proximity to the airport, it really is less than 10 minutes away! Public areas were attractive and the staff was friendly. We stayed in one of the less expensive rooms and ours was very clean, nicely decorated, and in good repair. We had dinner at "Ginger" and... More
