My stay at Margate Beach Lodge had its ups and downs. I loved the cleanliness of my room, and its proximity to the beach was a huge plus. However, the absence of remotes for the air conditioning and the lack of functioning TV channels was frustrating. While I appreciated the comfort of my stay, there were definitely some areas that need improvement.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Margate Beach Lodge. The location was fantastic, right across the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sea. However, the room I first tried to check into had some significant issues, including a lack of towels and poor ventilation. While I appreciated the friendly staff and cleanliness, the amenities left something to be desired. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but there were aspects that really need improvement. 🌊

My stay at the Margate Beach Lodge was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location right across the beach was perfect, and the welcoming lady tried her best despite some early check-in confusion. However, I faced issues with cleanliness and some facilities like the TV and air conditioning. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I wouldn't rush back.
