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.
Dining and Kitchen
This is a self-catering resort - there is no onsite restaurant. Each apartment has a kitchen with a microwave, stove, and refrigerator. Barbecue facilities (braai stands) are available by the pool and in the picnic area. A small shop on the property sells basics, but it may be closed during your stay (check ahead).
Leisure Facilities
The heated outdoor swimming pool is open all year. There is also a separate kids' pool and a private beach area with direct beach access. Guests can use the spa facilities (details not specified), garden, and picnic area. For recreation: mini golf, table tennis, darts, trampoline, and children's playground. Sun loungers line the beach.
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.”
