Boasting pool with a view and views of mountain, The Beach Palace Ramsgate is a recently renovated guest house situated in Margate, less than 1 km from Ramsgate Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The property features services including meeting and banquet facilities and evening entertainment.

From our initial meeting, we felt the most genuine and special welcoming from Mark. He was accommodating from the start. When we entered the house, it felt like home away from home. Unja made us feel right at home and it felt like we connected with old friends. The house was exactly what was described and shown on booking.com. The hospitality was superb. We wanted for nothing and were literally waited on hand and foot, treated like royalty and left feeling like family. The picturesque, panoramic view is breathtaking. The calm sounds of the waves really make for a restful sleep before an absolutely devine breakfast. I recommend The Beach Palace unhesitatingly. Thank you, Mark, Unja and Winnie, for making our stay epic!
