9.6/10 Exceptional! (115 reviews)
On the surface this property is set on lovely grounds but take a look closer and the service could be far better for the price we paid. we got to the spa for 10:30am one morning and the umbrellas were not up, sun beds didn’t have their mattress laid until after 11am. There isn’t poolside service for drinks. I had booked two rooms as I had my parents stay as well, we were visiting for an onsite welding. The second room didn’t have shower-gel topped up on entering and the safe was not unlocked from a previous stay. The turn down service was lovely but they kept turning up the heating to 24degrees along with the under floor heating, which was not necessary as we live in the uk it was not heating weather for us. Service st breakfast was brilliant from the staff and food was lovely, no complaints here. Generally staff around the resort are friendly and helpful but service/attention to detail needs improvement as mentioned. Would I stay here again, not for the price we paid I’m afraid, I would expect far more of a luxury feel and service to be upgraded, being used to those levels in the uk, for price paid.

Durban Beach Holiday

A Durban holiday is the perfect time to unwind. Whether you like the thought of chilling by the water's edge or walking along the shore looking for seashells, a trip to Durban is hard to say no to. If you prefer to be close to the centre of town, base yourself close to Addington Beach. This stretch of coast is just 1 mile away. We also offer Durban packages close to Battery Beach and Dairy Beach, two other tempting options.

Things You Should Know About Durban

  • Nothing says holiday like staying within moments of the shoreline. If you're nodding in agreement, see what's available among our Durban beach hotels.
  • Hotels, like Audacia Manor Boutique Hotel and Suncoast Sunsquare & Suncoast Towers, are also popular property types here. Compare prices and amenities and then take your pick.
  • Alternatively, go for one of our All-Inclusive hotels in Durban. They make budgeting a breeze. Leave your cash safely in your room and enjoy the freedom that comes with the all-inclusive way of holidaying.
  • Our Durban things to do page is a terrific place to start organising your escape to Durban. After you arrive, start up a conversation with one of the 3,120,300 friendly locals to find out more.
  • UShaka Marine World is one major sight you can't miss here. For plenty of other popular travel plan ideas, look up our Durban holiday deals.
