We had a lovely winter weekend at the beach house, which was spacious and comfortable for our group. The staff welcomed us warmly, and we enjoyed easy access to nearby dining options, including the delightful White Elephant Cafe for breakfast. However, I did find some aspects of the resort to be lacking, like the absence of room service and limited amenities during off-peak season, which took away from the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay at Margarets Beach Resort. The apartment was spacious, clean, and perfectly equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the location was just a quick walk to the beach. The on-site restaurant and cafe were convenient for meals. However, I wished the dining options had been broader, and some areas of the apartment were a bit dated.

I had a comfortable stay at this resort, with modern and clean apartments conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, making my experience even better. However, the place could use some renovations to justify the price, as the cleanliness was not consistent in all areas. The amenities, such as the pool and dining options, were enjoyable, but I felt the value for money could be improved, especially considering the condition of some details in the apartments.

We had a bit of a mixed experience during our stay. While the location was fantastic, being a short walk to the beach and local cafe, the accommodation itself left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The dining options were adequate, but some facilities could use improvements, especially regarding noise levels. Overall, while there were highlights, I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon due to the price and quality mismatch.

Rooms

The townhouse we stayed in had spider webs and felt unclean, which was disappointing. The setup in the bathrooms was awkward, and the lack of air conditioning in the downstairs bedrooms made sleeping uncomfortable.

Service

The staff at the cafe/bar were quite helpful, though it did get noisy with families around.

Location

8.0

The hotel is located in a good spot, close to the beach and a local cafe, but we were hoping to be even closer to the ocean based on the website photos.

Dining

6.0

Dining options on-site were decent, but the noise level made it hard to enjoy a quiet meal or drink.

Facilities

5.0

The café and bar on-site were convenient, but the overall noise from the area during family activities was overwhelming at times.

I felt very let down by my stay at this hotel. On a windy, wet day, I found myself disappointed with the room view, which was just tin roofs and air conditioners, instead of the promised sea views. The location beside the cleaning facilities made for early morning disturbances, and the room itself felt quite run down. However, the common areas were fantastic with great food and atmosphere, which I truly appreciated.

Rooms

5.0

The room was quite run down and had a hard bed, which made for an uncomfortable stay. It felt grotty, and I was disappointed that such a poor room was given despite the place being quiet.

Service

5.0

The service was just okay; I didn't have much interaction but felt they could have prioritized room quality since it was quiet.

Location

6.0

The hotel is situated in a decent spot, but the view from my room was very disappointing. Being close to the beach is a plus, but my experience was overshadowed by noise from cleaning staff and a lack of a quality room.

Dining

While I didn’t eat at the hotel much, the common area had brilliant food and a lovely atmosphere, which was a highlight of my visit.

The common area facilities were impressive, with a nice vibe and good food, which I appreciated despite my issues elsewhere.
