Hotel berhampiran Walmer Link Shopping Complex, Port Elizabeth

We stayed over for the evening on our way to Kwantu game reserve. Very clean and spacious rooms, centrally located, friendly staff and lovely heated pool which was open till 9:30 pm. The duty manageress was very helpful and assisted us with all our requests. 3 issues: the bathroom in room 9 did not have a key. Bathroom window in room 14 had a small hole in it. Luckily room was on second floor. The shower floors at the pool was dirty. But otherwise a lovely place.

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 :)

If anyone has complaints about this hotel, please try staying at Radisson Blu for slightly more and regret your decision. This place is perfect, more than you could ask for. Space, cleanliness, service and amenities.

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.

I stayed for 2 nights in the family rooms. I have to say I loved The Beach Hotel. Yes it could do with a refurbishment but it’s old world and I loved it. There isn’t a lift but there is a lovely staircase. We ate in the hotel both nights as the food was lovely. There is an air of just relaxation In the hotel….. the music is just playing low in the background and it’s so nice. You are next door to the Boardwalk shopping centre which was great. Overall I would stay here again

WOW, WOW, WOW is all I can say. What a pleasant experience. Since we arrived Frans was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were absolutely beautiful and modern. The bed was comfortable. It was super clean in the room, and they just thought of everything. We requested breakfast earlier than the normal breakfast time and again Frans bended backwards to assist us. We met Christine the next morning at breakfast, and she is such a warm and friendly person. The staff was super friendly and breakfast was amazing. I would stay there again and recommend it to all friends, family and collegues.
