    Fantastic location with great breakfast options

    I had a lovely stay with a fantastic location just minutes from the beach. The breakfast area was spacious and offered freshly baked pastries and a variety of fruits. The staff was accommodating, opening the kitchen early for our group, which made a huge difference. One area for improvement could be the outdated TVs in the rooms.

    beautiful decor
    accessible common areas
    kind staff
    cramped pool
    limited relaxation space

    I loved the beautiful decor in the hotel, which combined modern aesthetics with comfort. The common areas were accessible, making it easy for seniors to navigate the space. The staff's kindness added to the enjoyable atmosphere during my stay.

    Pool area felt cramped and limited for relaxation.

    noise disturbance
    breakfast service

    The hotel has a great location near the beach and offers stunning views. Rooms are clean and well-decorated. The staff is mostly friendly. However, noise from the surrounding area can be quite bothersome, and breakfast service needs improvement.

    My recent stay in durban was great, far exceeding my previous experiences. The hotel offered superb service and a clean, modern room with fine ocean views. Breakfast was a highlight with fresh fruit and delicious pastries.

    lovely pool
    convenient location
    long security check

    We had a fantastic family stay, enjoying the lovely pool with breathtaking views. The hotel was conveniently located near malls and restaurants, making it easy to explore dining options. Plus, we loved our visit to Moses Mabhida Stadium for an event. Everything felt accessible and family-friendly.

    In my wife's opinion, the security check took too long and was disruptive. It would be great if the hotel improved the check-in process for families with kids.
