“A Hidden Gem for Kosher Travelers We were so impressed with Unico Hotel! The pricing was incredibly reasonable for the quality offered. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully plated, and felt like a true culinary treat. What made it even more special for us is that it’s fully kosher—a rare and much-needed option for observant travelers. We’re so grateful to have found a place that combines elegance, affordability, and kashres. Can’t wait to return!”

“We had the most wonderful family stay at the Unico Hotel in Margate, and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough. We were there to celebrate my mum’s 80th birthday, and thanks to the incredible team at Unico, it became a truly unforgettable milestone for our whole family. The rooms were spotlessly clean, cozy, and had everything we needed, making our stay extremely comfortable from start to finish. The kosher food was outstanding — beautifully prepared, plentiful, and delicious at every meal. It was clear that so much care and pride goes into the catering, and it exceeded all our expectations. What really sets the Unico apart, however, is the exceptional staff. Every single member of the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Nothing was too much trouble — they went above and beyond at every opportunity to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail made the celebration feel extra special. Most importantly, my mum had a fantastic time. Seeing her so relaxed, happy, and truly enjoying every moment on such an important birthday meant the world to us. The atmosphere was welcoming, family-friendly, and full of warmth. Thank you to the Unico Hotel, and a special thank you to Resa and Lior, for a memorable and joyous experience. We will absolutely be back and will be recommending you to everyone we know.”

“Amazing experience during our midweek group stay! The hotel was exclusively hired for us and is beautiful, clean, and incredibly well-kept. Our comfortable room had a stunning sea view, and the area was gorgeous and quiet. What truly set this visit apart was the entire team, from reception to the chef and waiters, who went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you for the exceptional service and a truly memorable stay. We will definitely be back!!!”
