Hotel Beach di Cape Timur, Afrika Selatan

The atmosphere at the Paxton hotel was amazing - all the staff was so friendly to me and always smiling. My dinner was also quite good, nothing extraordinary but it was warm and fresh and fast. The ocean view is really lovely and the rooms were clean and perfectly equipped. The beautiful consierge even let me stay at the pool after my checkout :)

Lovely hotel with excellent staff situated right opposite the ocean. Our room was large and airy and everything worked as it should. Breakfast was excellent and again staff were superb. Only negative part was the dinner. Out starter was over 45 minutes in coming and when we asked about it they brought the main course. Obviously an error somewhere. The food was ok not great.

Deteriorated since my previous stay in 2019 LOCATION: Excellent. Across the road from the beach. Linked to the Boardwalk Mall. APPEARANCE: Attractive. Victorian Style. Well maintained. ROOM (Stayed in a junior suite): Decor: Great. Blends in with hotel style. Size: Very spacious. Amenities: No extra blanket available during a cold spell. Cleanliness: Excellent. Quality of sleep: Very comfortable bedding. Cold. SERVICE: Appalling. Marked deterioration since my last visit. Needs a serious shake-up. I stayed just 1 night and yet 2 incidents of note: 1. Phoned housekeeping to request an extra blanket during a cold spell. I am still waiting for the blanket... 2. We were a group that booked 3 rooms. 2 people requested a 1-hour later checkout at adjacent receptionists at the EXACT same time. 1 receptionist happily met the request, the other bluntly refused without even asking a room number or even pretending to look at the computer screen! Lazy? Arrogant? Bad attitude? Poorly trained? Service at the Spa was excellent (But this is privately run by Camelot and not Sun International which probably explains the better service than the hotel) DINING: Breakfast was average. Clean spacious dining hall. Limited selection. lacking variety (Not 5-Star). Good quality and presentation. ACTIVITIES/FACILITIES: Great heated indoor pool - probably the hotel's biggest drawcard (Temperature should be turned up a notch though). Outdoor pool as well. Gym. Great spa. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: Didn't have much time to explore. Ocean at the doorstep. MY BOOKING AGENT: Hotel website as an MVG member. Will I recommend/stay there again? Maybe. Not much competition in the area unfortunately. However with this service, they are trying hard to deter repeat visitors.

Don't understand some of the negative reviews. Our room (909) was great, with really, really comfortable beds. Massive room , which was cleaned daily. Breakfast room was very busy at 8am, with good selection of freshly cooked eggs. To us Brits, fish cakes, chicken livers and beef liver would not be seen as breakfast dishes, but the livers were always in an empty dish, so must have been popular! Room service good, and not expensive by UK standards. Always felt secure with security at car park and hotel entrance. Would not hesitate to stay again.

The views 😍. Everything was just great, the room was clean and breakfast was amazing. Bed was very comfortable. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I truly had the best time and will be coming back

Only good things to say ! We loved the upstairs room with nice bedding, clean bathroom and even a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. The breakfast was more than sufficient, with a varied content and a nice touch of a homemade recipe. The street seems safe, and there is a private parking. It is close from the beach but still very quiet. We enjoyed ourselves very much thank you !!!

We were family of four looking for one night stay in Port Elizabeth. We booked Admiralty Beach Guest house last minute looking for nice place for the night. It did not disappoint and was the perfect place to stay in Port Elizabeth, close to the beach, the shops and everything we needed. The owners themselves run the property and do great job. Breakfast was great with everything one would need. Will definitely stay here again and happy to recommend it to anyone visiting Port Elizabeth.
