An Oyster Box stay has been on our list of things to do for some time and we were not disappointed! It is clear that much work has gone into staff training and without exception they were friendly and polite.

The Spa treatments were the best we have every had and the breakfast selection was awesome. A really beautiful hotel to stay in. The rooms need serious maintenance. We complained a few times about things broken in our room.

The service was excellent with friendly staff prepared to go the extra mile.Whilst in the centre of Umhlanga during one of the busiest periods we found the hotel relaxing, an oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of other holiday makers. The attention to detail was very impressive. Apart from an excellent meal in the Grill Room the food was fair, nothing special, so slightly disappointing.

All the staff are very friendly and greet you. Nothing is too much to assist you with. They make you feel really welcome. The hotel is cosy and very clean and well positioned.

The room (ocean view) was very indeed of good standard,and a great view over the Indian Ocean. I had a bad experience when I booked in, and since | have paid in excess of r4000 per night,I would have expected my room to be ready at 14h00. We ended up getting a room only past 14h30, and the staff member assisting us was extremely unpleasant, and I was eventually assisted by another staff member who eventually assisted us. It wasn't a good start to my short vacation.

Excellent service Seriously expensive in international terms. Still, if the occupancy rate is high (I don't know if it is) then go for it. PS as a very small issue, it would be good to have granulated brown sugar for coffee.
