Boardwalk Hotel: A Beloved Gem of Nelson Mandela Bay

The Boardwalk Hotel is proud to be recognized as Gqeberha’s favorite hotel, a distinction bestowed by the readers of PE Express. Being the inaugural recipient of the Readers’ Choice Award is a tremendous honor and reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team.

While the Boardwalk’s stunning location, with its panoramic views of one of South Africa’s most beautiful beaches, undoubtedly draws visitors, maintaining a loyal clientele requires much more than just picturesque scenery. It takes a deep commitment to service excellence and the creation of memorable experiences that keep guests coming back.

Sun International, the company behind Boardwalk, has always prioritized high service standards. We embody this philosophy, striving to exceed expectations at every turn. Our staff, whose passion and commitment shine through in their warm and friendly service, are the true stars of our hotel. It is their unwavering dedication that transforms ordinary stays into unforgettable experiences across our various offerings, from the hotel and spa to the casino and dining venues.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to Sun International for its continual investment in our facilities, ensuring that we remain a top choice for visitors. Our journey in Gqeberha began with the opening of the Boardwalk Casino & Entertainment World in October 2000. A significant milestone came in 2012 with a R1-billion investment, which allowed us to enhance our hotel with luxurious accommodations, an array of dining options, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a world-class health spa featuring an indoor plunge pool.

More recently, the R500-million development of the Boardwalk Mall has received outstanding feedback from guests. This vibrant retail and dining hub adds to the diverse experiences we offer, making the Boardwalk a comprehensive destination for entertainment and relaxation.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the guests who voted for us. Your loyalty and support inspire us to continually improve and innovate. Boardwalk Hotel will always strive to be an inviting space where locals and visitors alike are welcomed and celebrated. We look forward to serving you for many years to come!
