Our kids loved the different pool options, slides, playground, trampoline, and mini golf. The nature reserve walk right next door offered a great opportunity for a scenic break. The two bedroom and living room was a comfortable option for 5 travelers with great ocean views. The restaurant specials and accommodations to kids particular requests were some of the best meals we had all trip. Great option to stay when traveling through Durban King Shaka International Airport.

VERY UNPLEASANT STAY AT THIS HOTEL
There was no water so the toilets stank. Arrived and could not have a shower or wash after a long trip No alternative water was offered. There was also no electricity when there was load shedding because there was no backup generator which meant that the air con did not work, lifts did not work etc.. It was a very unpleasant stay at this hotel

Satisfaction not as per expected
Hi The sand pit area was booked for a function so my kids were unable to utilize it. The storm caused a power outage last nite. No ups power in the room I checked out early as we could not make kids baby formula. The pool had a lots of insects in the water. Lots of monkeys as well.

The Room has a central air conditioning that does not work. Incredibly bad acoustics. Sounds from three rooms down can clearly be heard above, beside and below your room. A client was allowed to get so drunk at the bar that he was screaming racial slurs and personally verbally assaulted myself with homophobic remarks. The facility allowed it to happen even after I brought it to their attention. However the physical property is very well maintained.

This is an amazing sea-facing resort in the swanky Umhlanga area. It's not far from many restaurants and nightlife. The units are large and well appointed. Its guests appear to be mostly locals. We did not try the restaurants as the hours seemed off with our schedule. The only downside is that the staff seems unprepared for guests' arrivals - not enough people at the front desk - and then pushy when they help you. I would stay there again.
