“In my opinion, this hotel is well-suited for business and solo travelers due to its proximity to Garvies Beach and family-friendly environment. The Halal breakfast and the outdoor pool are great perks; however, some reports indicate inconsistent room maintenance. While the location near attractions like uShaka Marine World is a plus, improvements in service and facilities would elevate the guest experience.”
