Awesome place - beautiful rooms, stylishly decorated, crisp white linen. Ocean views from the deck are stunning. Very close to heart of Umhlanga. Quiet street for a restful sleeep. Will be back for sure.

We have stayed at Sandals before, and proof of approval is a return visit. This time we had only one night which is unfortunate- I think you need a week to enjoy the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of this fine guesthouse, which belies its position near the noisy and bustling town that Umhlanga has become. Everything, service, staff, room, location, breakfast, pool area and garden were top class, but special note needs to be made of a well-trained, courteous, friendly and helpful staff. This is what a guesthouse should be.

Overrated and Poor Management

Reviewed By lbradb679509

Totally disgusted with our stay. On arrival, the spa staff were not friendly. Husband and I had a massage in the same room. Not worth the money... therapists need training. Room that we were given was great, except there were 3 screaming children. We were moved, to a room that had no view and could still hear the screaming children. No apologies from management or advisement to the person of the children to quiten down. 3 days of screaming. 7am to 7pm. No quietness!!! Made a bath one night, couldn't let the water out. Went to management who sent 2 staff with a broom to open the water outlet. Next day was advised by the 1 staff member it was fixed. No apologies from management. Made another bath, tried to let the water out... didn't work. For a 4 star place, that is expensive, one would assume that everything works.. and that management engage with their patrons. Don't go there if you want to relax and unwind. Total waste of money and too stressful. Most disappointing.
