Very average service received. Room service closes at 11pm!!! Why offer it then? At least 2am gives you a chance should you miss the normal restaurants that close at around 11pm. Sad that a simple request for X2 decent size glasses and some ice can't be followed or done at 11:30pm... Instead I received 1 glass and absolutely no mention of the ice... It's the little things that make the stay enjoyable.

Didn’t like the location as it was not in a clean area. The breakfast was ok as there was a variety of dishes to choose from. The room could have been a lot cleaner, the curtains in the room were dirty and needed cleaning. Every time we took a shower there was water all over the floor because it leaked.

My second stay at this hotel, great location close to restaurants and a walk away from the beach. Also close to South Coast ****** and Lalucia Mall (Umhlanga. I enjoy their breakfast, the hotel was nice and clean and my last stay with my family was enjoyable. We enjoyed the skypool on the rooftop.
