Excellent Hotel

I was throughly impressed by my entire stay at this hotel. World class luxury interior decor, absolutely delicious restaurant, excellent service at the bar, extremely kind and attentive staff, breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and downtown Umhlana, very comfortable and spacious rooms, great pool with view. Having traveled worldwide and stayed at luxury hotels on several continents, I can say that no one will be disappointed by this hotel. Tremendous value for very cheap costs.

I stayed six nights at the hotel. It is new. The bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows. I had a nice soaking tub in my room plus a walk in shower. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The service was wonderful. Everyone was always willing to help if I needed anything. I will definitely stay again.
