Pros:

Make sure the fotos you see when you book are the right ones, otherwise like me they book you in a small room. Not what they have showed.

Cons:

Quietness, near the Beach.

Goed hotel bij luchthaven en aan zee
Pros:

De ligging: vlakbij luchthaven, aan zee. Groot hotel maar in een mooi oud pand.
Fijn dat er een restaurant verbonden was met het hotel want na een lange reisdag hoefden we nu niet meer te reizen

Cons:

Niets

Perfect location, professional friendly staff that go the extra mile to ensure your stay is THE BEST
Pros:

The Location could not be better, across the road from the best beach in Gqeberha right next to Boardwalk Mall. The Staff are extremely welcoming, and helpful offer to assist with things that are not necessary, but go out of their way to make your stay more than comfortable!!

Cons:

To be honest, I really had to think very hard about this question, as there was nothing about The Beach Hotel that I did not like. The one thing that came to mind is that 2 of the channels on the TV did not work, it is not an issue for me as I am not a big TV fan - it was more for background noise and I chose another channel.

Pros:

I booked a room for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and the staff made sure they felt special. My parents were treated with a delicious treat and a lovely room not far from the pool.

Cons:

No complaints.
