Business Hotels in Umhlanga

I thought I’ve been to the best in Durban until visiting The Oyster Box. All I can say is wow! This place is truly remarkable. There is so much of character and warm hospitality everywhere. The staff here are what make this place so special. Rooms - I’ve stayed in the Classic Garden Facing, Classic Sea Facing and Luxury Sea Facing rooms. All of them are luxuriously appointed with all the comforts one would require. Garden facing rooms are actually huge and overlook the lush tropical gardens (except for the room at the end of the hallway, this has practically no view so be sure not to take this room). There is not much difference between classic and luxury sea facing except that luxury has both a bath and shower and the bed faces the ocean. It’s definitely worth paying extra for the sea facing rooms. Being literally a few steps away from the Indian Ocean makes the views outstanding. There are many different design variations per room and all are beautiful. My favorite were the neutral beiges and grey tones though. I initially thought that the rooms would not feel warm and hotel-like enough since they are tiled in ice white, but it was actually just perfect. Pools - there are two pools. Both temperature controlled with excellent poolside service. One is set in the lush tropical gardens nearby to the spa. This is quieter and is lovely for a morning swim. The other is an infinity pool which is beside the Ocean Terrace restaurant. It overlooks the ocean and lighthouse which is absolutely gorgeous. The staff around the pool are really wonderful and obliging. Thanks to Thobile and her team. My only gripe with this main pool is that the area feels a little bit tight and not private enough. Loungers are packed really close together. It’s also adjacent to the Ocean Terrace restaurant where a lot of outside guests frequent so this area can feel crowded at times. I guess there isn’t much that can be done here because of space constraints and it’s still a lovely experience nonetheless. Spa and gym - visited the spa previously and it’s a destination on its own. Staff are amazing and treatments are lovely. It is on the pricier side though (possibly more geared towards foreigners). The Hammam and steam room are great and is complimentary for hotel guests in the mornings. Gym is basic but has all the necessary equipment and offers complimentary water and towel etc. - I love that it overlooks the greenery. Had a massage at the poolside which was fabulous. Lusanda is a true gem. Dining - we’ve only had the breakfast and no other meals since there are no halal options available. Breakfast was lovely but honestly nothing special or unique. I do feel that given the rates charged per night, the breakfast spread could be bigger. There is room for improvement here if I compare to other SA hotels like The Table Bay. Breakfast service is great though. Service - this is what makes this hotel unique. The staff are absolutely fabulous. Everyone greets you by name a

Hilton is great staff are very helpful and do there job with a smile. Rooms are decent and views aren't so bad. Very close to malls and food places. Stayed a few times during ramadaan and found the hotel caters for muslim guests that are fasting which is great not forgetting the hotel is muslim friendly which means you can have some of the meat products without having to worry if it's halal or not. Will definitely return

Die Beverly Hills ist und hat immer eine wunderbare Erfahrung. Die Mitarbeiter sind oben und darüber im Dienst. Zimmer übersehen das Meer und haben spektakuläre Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang. Alle Mahlzeiten sind außergewöhnlich, Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit seinem wunderbaren Buffet ist ein Vergnügen, den Tag zu beginnen.

Das Hotel Capital Pearl hat das professionellste und freundlichste Personal getroffen. Das Zimmer war erstaunlich und nett. Lage ist großartig, da der Strand einen kurzen Spaziergang ist. Schönes Team und hatte eine wunderbare Erfahrung und Aufenthalt

Helen war ein fantastisches Gastgeber, der aus ihrem Weg ging, um mir bei extrem kurzer Bekanntmachung zu helfen ... Sie sind ein Zauberer!!! Ich freue mich auf Ihren Aufenthalt in naher Zukunft wieder. Alles Gute für den Rest des Jahres, Danke,

Conveniently situated, and easily accessible, opposite entrance to Gateway Shopping mall. Safe parking for guests. Spoilt for choice with eating establishments across the road. Clean and safe. Rooms are comfortable, with small fridge and kettle. Friendly and helpful staff.

The resort has good facilities although there is no longer access to the nature reserve. The rooms are dated. Bath tubs seem to be from the 1990s. Furthermore, there are several rules and restriction’s about use of facilities, visitors and room allocation which are subject to management’s discretion. Some rules are enforced by smooth talking security guards who can ‘help you avoid a hefty fine’ for a small service fee. I understand the importance of rules in running a large resort however leaving their enforcement to the discretion of *****s is even more dangerous.
