Top Swartkops Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Port Elizabeth

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this hotel. Easy access to beach and small shopping area to pick up necessities and dining options. Staff was top notch! Great property! "

The Boardwalk Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is absolutely GORGEOUS! Every detail is solidly and thoughtfully constructed, from the chair rail lining the hallway to the sliding bathroom door. But form without function is of little value, and the staff brings the function in spades. Everyone we met went out of their way to answer our questions. Special shout out to Reginald at the concierge desk-he was kind, knowledgeable and generous with his time and helped us to book an amazing outing! He knows the area and the hotel inside out and made our stay even better. The property is located across from the beach-it’s an easy 5 minute walk to the water and the pier as well. There are many restaurants adjacent-don’t skip Hello Beach! for some truly delicious food. There are also several restaurants and bars within the property, and a gorgeous indoor pool plus a stunning outdoor pool as well. We will definitely be back!"
