Beautiful view. It was clean and spacious. They should install aircon or better fans, its very hot. The built-in cupboards and units need an upgrade. Apart from that it was lovely.

It was a good getaway. However a bit noisy. Every move upstairs was heard. This went on right after 11 in the night. Otherwise very pleasant stay.

From check in to checkout, it was very good. I loved how they thought of everything to make guests as enjoyable as possible. I especially loved their complimentary herb garden, with a huge variety of herbs, fruit & veg. There was free Wifi throughout the resort, complimentary tea/coffee stations in the public areas as well. Lots to do for the kids. Overall we had an excellent stay.

We had a very pleasant experience at Costa Smeralda. The check in was painless as the keys were left in the safe for us to collect due to us arriving on a Sunday. The room was clean and although the sliding door was damaged on arrival this was repaired on the same day without us having even made a complaint. The staff were curteous and ensured the apartment was kept clean. We stayed in unit 13 which had a great sea view and the apartments had safe undercover parking. All in all we had a very relaxing stay in Margate at a very affordable price and will definitely return in the future. Thanks.
