What an elegant hotel. Beautiful spacious rooms, the staff is attentive and friendly. There’s a lot of restaurants around the hotel to choose from, the ocean is within a walking distance.
I’ll definitely stay here next time I’m in Durban!
This is a comfortable business hotel. Rooms are decently sized and bathrooms are okay too, the washbasin is a small one though. Couple of bummers : Gave one glass bottle of water, replenishments were in the form of plastic bottles. If you ask for the same glass bottle (which I do because of environmental reasons), they don't give it. Breakfast was very decent and overall service was good. A big issue is that they dont have room service for food. They have only beverages that can be ordered to your rooms! The reason is 'we have many restaurants around us'. I found this to be funny. Hotel is well located and opt for higher floors for good views.
The best hotel in South Africa. Well trained staff, exceptional rooms and view over the Indian Ocean. Best dining experience you could ever hope for. Staff take note of all your needs and anticipate what you will need. Been going there for over 50 years
We were lucky enough to stay at this spectacular property again after last being here 3 years ago. What makes this particular property so special is not just the gorgeous setting and beauty interior, the true heros are the exceptional staff. Each and everyone from Housekeeping to food and beverage to the incredible staff at the pool all go above and beyond to ensure that you have the most exceptional time. We have been lucky enough to travel extensively around the world and stay in some of the most highly rated hotels but The Oysterbox for us remains our favourite. Luxury is how guests are made to feel. A special mention must go to Jameel, Hafeeza in food and beverage, Robert at the pool and the lovely Cecilia in Housekeeping. The food throughout all the outlets were outstanding. Keep it up, you guys are keeping the South African hospitality game at the very top!
CColemanThis was my first time staying at the Royal Palms and enjoyed my stay and it was a very relaxing stay. Very close to any shopping venue you want. The rooms are special. I will invite my friends to visit this hotel in the future.
訪訪客This review relates mainly to one specific issue, but it was the reason that I selected this hotel over the other choice I had. I run but do not like running on the road in cities I do not know. I therefore selected Coastlands as it has a fitness centre. My other option didn't. There are two treadmills in the fitness centre, both essentially unusable. The one is stuck in about a 3 degree incline and cannot be flattened. The other had a dilapidated running belt that was torn and which kept ”sticking” or ”stalling” every third or fourth step of my left foot. I've never seen such dilapidated equipment at any other hotel I've stayed at. There were also button covers missing and buttons that did not work. While the room was clean and nice, there was no lighting above the desk which made working on a laptop difficult. The water spout control on the bidet was broken. The plug on the sink leaked water at a rapid rate.
訪訪客Overall stay at Breakers Positive Staff: Friendly staff at checking and the porters assistance was really great. Thanks Emm for your assistance and great customer service. Location of the resort: The resort is central and one has quick access to the malls, restaurants and highway. View Stunning view and good seenary Negative review: The blanks in room 802 had bed bugs. This was reported to the housekeeping manager. They manage to change the linen but it’s unacceptable for a 4 star hotel Price The cost of the stay was not worth the value I paid. The prices vary on a daily basis but I paid a flat rate of R3396.60 for weekday and weekend stay. I stayed 4 days / 5 nights. Cleanliness of the apar**ent Bathrooms were still dirty at check in. One can see they redo the walls and tiles however the peel paint was still on the floor throughout my stay. Please go check it might still be behind the bathroom door. Shop No shop at the premises to buy swim goodies for kids. Entertainment for kids: It is limited, I tried accessing the games area and it was locked through my stay. There is only one pool table at the pool area. Swipe facilities for put put is not available all is cash. My proposal is to charge the fees to the room and bill the guest at checkout. Braai area Braai-ing is not allowed Friday’s and Saturday’s, not on, as South Africans we prefer to braai over these days and on certainly on holiday. Beach access Breaker’s resort has no stair case to the Beach, one has to walk right down to bronze beach to have access and enjoy. Swimming No swimming between 7-9am and pools closes at 10pm.
