I traveled there for a business trip. The hotel was pre-arranged. From check-in to check-out it was a total disaster. I was assigned a room and went tot take a shower after a long trip. The room already had luggage in the room from another registered guest. I went to the front desk to rectify the issue and they had... More

The first impression of the hotel, the entrance, lounge and the reception, is WOW!!! I like, but walk to the lift and the faint smell of urine makes you look back and think " I must be mistaken". The rooms are nice size but the curtains are threadbare, The furniture old and broken, there are only 2 wall plugs, behind... More

I stayed at the Summerstrand Hotel on the 6th April 2013. It was my wedding night so I had arranged earlier that someone ensure that champaign, strawberry's, ice, water, etc were waiting when we got there. It was confirmed. On arriving we stood at the reception desk (tired from the wedding) for around 20 minutes while they "looked" for our... More

First, the hotel has no views of the beach, you can look at an ancient pool with it's tiles falling off, or the parking lot...there are no wi-fi extenders in the building, so unless you get a room within 5 meters of the routers, you will not have wi-fi, and even if you do, it certainly is not high speed,...

We had a 25 years service celebration dinner for one of our drivers on Saturday evening. The restuarant layout is fantastic catering for large numbers or even for an intimate dinner with your partner is still suitable. There is a lounge area so beautifully decorated with a large pool where you could sit and have an intimate conversation. The food... More

Had a conference at Summerstrand, conference rates great, food great, accommodation great. Ask for a Sea facing room on upper levels to enjoy Port Elizabeth. William at the conference side, again service with a smile. 2nd conference there and will be going back for more!!
