Southern Sun The Marine - Port Elizabeth

4-star beachfront hotel on Pollock Beach with panoramic ocean views and conference facilities

Accommodations & Room Types

Southern Sun The Marine offers 114 rooms with sea or city views, including Superior Two Bedroom and Executive King Room categories. The hotel provides unique semi-self-catering loft apartments for extended stays, a setup not found in typical hotels. Family suites come with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, giving families separate living and sleeping spaces.

Dining & Rooftop Amenities

In-house dining at La Mer Restaurant serves meals with panoramic ocean views, with breakfast buffets and à la carte options available daily. The rooftop outdoor swimming pool on the Marine Hotel offers panoramic views of Algoa Bay, but measures approximately 20 ft in length and is better suited for a quick dip than lap swimming. Guests can also use sun loungers, beach chairs, and umbrellas on the rooftop deck.

Location & Beach Access

The hotel sits directly on Pollock Beach, putting guests less than a kilometer from the sand and surf. Addo Elephant National Park is a 45-minute drive from Southern Sun The Marine, while Seaview Game Park is 20 minutes away by car. The Boardwalk Mall and Casino are within walking distance, along with other Port Elizabeth restaurants and attractions.

Business & Conference Facilities

Southern Sun The Marine has comprehensive conference and meeting facilities that can accommodate up to 150 delegates in a beachfront setting. The hotel provides a business center with fax and photocopying services, plus multiple meeting rooms for corporate events. Full audio-visual equipment and catering for business functions are available on-site.

Family & Leisure Activities

Children can use the hotel's direct access to the beach and the rooftop pool, but the pool is small and has no dedicated shallow area for young children. The fitness center has basic cardio and weight equipment, open to all guests. Guests can borrow beach towels from reception and use the secure parking lot at the rear of the property.
