My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms were super clean, spacious, and very stylish, which was great, but there was significant water damage on the walls that went unattended. The TV and phone in my villa were not working when I arrived, making it challenging to seek assistance, which was frustrating, especially since it was my honeymoon. Additionally, there was a funny smell in the room that irritated my sinuses.

The rooms were a mix of stylish and frustrating experiences. They were super clean, spacious, and very stylish, as described. However, the significant water damage on the walls and the non-functional TV and phone were disappointing, especially on such a special occasion like a honeymoon. The funny smell was also a downside for me.

The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful, but they seemed to get overwhelmed when it was busy. While their friendliness shone through, they could benefit from learning a bit more about their job to provide even better service.

The hotel's location was absolutely wow, and it was beautiful overall. However, it's far from Durban, which may not suit everyone's preferences. Being next to the beach club was a plus, though, especially for those in holiday mode looking to relax by the pool or the other beach.
Dining

The dining experience at the hotel was a mix of exceptional and expensive. While the food was exceptional and some of the best I've had at any hotel, it was quite pricey, which might not align with everyone's budget. However, the indulgent pastries were a delightful treat.
Facilities

The hotel's facilities were a blend of positives and negatives. While they offered a range of services like room service, housekeeping, and commercial services, there were some maintenance issues that needed attention, such as the water damage in the rooms. Overall, the facilities were decent but could use a bit of improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were super clean, spacious, and very stylish, but there was significant water damage on the walls, and some amenities like the TV and phone were not working initially. The service was exceptional overall, although I witnessed some reprimanding of staff. The location, though far from Durban, was absolutely beautiful. The dining experience was fantastic with a great spread of delicious food, including the best omelette I've ever had. The facilities were top-notch.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a good size and clean, I encountered significant water damage on the walls that was left unattended, and there was a persistent funny smell that bothered my sinuses. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff members being rude and others overly familiar, making the check-in process challenging. The location, although beautiful, was far from Durban, posing an inconvenience. On the bright side, the dining experience was delightful, especially the scrumptious dishes prepared by Chef Gift.
