Apartment Features
Apartments come with balconies overlooking gardens or lakes. Each has a private bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen with utensils, cookware, and a cutlery set. The living area includes a TV. Some units have views of the ocean.
Location and Transport
Santana Holiday Resort is beachfront on Margate's coastline. Margate Beach is less than 1 km away. Butterfly Valley Ramsgate and Mbumbazi Nature Reserve are within 10 km. Margate Airport is 4 km from the resort. Local roads have potholes and poor street lighting at night, so driving carefully is advised. Uber is not available in the area; meter cabs are expensive. Most guests recommend renting a car.
Guest Services
Housekeeping is provided once per week (weekdays only) - towels and linen are not changed between cleanings. Guests must bring their own toilet paper and bath towels. The resort has 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, and safety deposit boxes. There is a lift, a barber/beauty shop, and a shuttle service (check availability). Reception is not open on weekends, and the on-site shop may also have limited hours.
“What strikes me is the immediate sense of being at the ocean's edge, the sound of waves a constant, soothing presence. It's clear the warmth of the pool is a significant draw, especially for families, and the sheer convenience of direct beach access from the property is quite the advantage. The apartments themselves seem to blend comfort with a refreshing modernity, offering genuinely pleasing views.”
