Madakana Holidays from £824

We stayed a few nights at Belaire. It is was good value. The breakfast selection was very good and the size of the rooms were good too. Rooms have a table, fridge, sink and microwave so is suitable for eating in. Pool was nice but is not heated. Real shame there is no gym or spa. Hotel has many floors but only two lifts, which are often used by staff, so inconvenient waits during busy times like Breakfast. Area looks nice with great views from hotel of seafront and prominade. It looked safe, with many joggers early morning and late evening. But locals advised much caution, so we ended up taking Uber everywhere. The area behind the hotel does seem quite deprived compared the the seafront area. If you dont want to think about safety, stay in Umhlanga area instead as that seemed really safe

The ever splendid Oyster Box. Personal and attentive service in a stunning setting. Uniquely charming. Fabulous service at every turn from the lovely first aiders to the friendly and professional pool staff, to the polite and charming front desk staff . But as ever the icing on this fabulous cake were George and his team and Leon in The Grill. Faultless and friendly service , enthusiastic shared knowledge from a great sommelier and head of house and lovely music from maestro Leon. The monkeys are ever cheekier and Sabenka is sadly missed but the splendour of this lovely hotel endures . And our new favourite breakfast server , Charlie on The Terrace . Already counting the days until we return . Also very lovely to experience sunrise and the regular dolphins swimming by from the sea facing garden cabana . I just need to win the lottery to stay in that amazing Presidential suite !

We stayed for 9 night so it was important that we had all the comforts of home. Coastlands provides that and even more. The bed was comfortable. Staff was always pleasant. The breakfast range varied every day which made it enjoyable. The hotel is only a short walk to Gateway shopping mall and is located in a very safe area.

Great theme and excellent decoration. Building work in the shops nearby

Room was small. Level 1 was noisy. Block out curtain was defective. Every thing else was good.
