Girls Trip
The hotel is in a great location; Right from chevk in the service was exceptional, Pumula was amazing , service with a smile 😊; lots of restaurants around; across the street there is a pick n pay and various ATM machines, close to beach with walking/running trail. One suggestion would be to upgrade/ change the TV's, they are old the picture quality is bad. Down the street there is a huge mall called Pearls of Umhlanga, it is beautiful with great shopping!! I will definitely be back and will recommend this property!!

Proper 3 star experience
They only change the sheets and bedding every 2nd day. So if you get make up on your pillow, on the 1st night. Best believe, you gonna have to sleep on it again.
