    No complaint, overall it’s stunningly beautiful and delightful place with motivated stuff at the reception desk. The setting is marvellous and good, just off the Lighthouse sports bar, the local restaurants which where plentiful and the sea and the beach. Do n't forget to explore Umhlanga district.

    The place was clean and stuff was very professional. The restaurant was outdoor with service and class at the forefront of everything that they do, we ordered delicious dishes. It boasted absolutely breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff where eager to help throughout the stay. The location was magnificent and lovely, around 10-15 minutes walk from Granada Square.
