The hotel is in a great location; Right from chevk in the service was exceptional, Pumula was amazing , service with a smile 😊; lots of restaurants around; across the street there is a pick n pay and various ATM machines, close to beach with walking/running trail. One suggestion would be to upgrade/ change the TV's, they are old the picture quality is bad.
Down the street there is a huge mall called Pearls of Umhlanga, it is beautiful with great shopping!!
I will definitely be back and will recommend this property!!

They only change the sheets and bedding every 2nd day. So if you get make up on your pillow, on the 1st night. Best believe, you gonna have to sleep on it again.

I love this Hotel - it is a favourite of mine and I am acknowledged as a loyal and frequent guest by the staff and a welcome back plate of treats in my room. This Hotel is centrally located in the Umhlanga Village with everything at your doorstep. It is well maintained and charmingly designed and offers the best value of any Hotel in this area. I enjoy the energy and environment of this Hotel very much

On this occasion there was an administration error and the hotel rebooked us into a more expensive high end resort hotel to compensate us. This was completely hassle free and was very much appreciated. They carried all the costs. Nice!
I have stayed in this hotel previously and it is a good quality, clean, safe hotel which is near by some excellent restaurants in Umhlanga Rocks. They obviously care about customer experience.

Most amazing hotel in the heart of Umhlanga. Every aspect of our stay was 5 star, from an amazing check-in all the way to our departure. Most definitely excellent value for money and a perfect location.

Wonderful experience! 5 star comfortable room, beautiful views, and convenient location to shops and restaurants and of course, the ocean. Breakfast (additional cost) also very good with several options and eggs made to order.

As a loyal, monthly returning client at Protea Marriott, i was sorely disappointed with the level of service. I was given room 552. Which has no sea view. It has a whole wall blocking even sunlight into the room
& a view of the flat across. I requested a change of room as i checked in around 5pm. I was told they fully booked and the lady who checked me in, didnt even check if i could be moved. She was so unhelpful! Also in my room, the amenities keep getting worse with each visit. I didnt even have tissues this time round. Also, get new towels.

Great location. Walkable.
Breakfast nuffet wasn't worth the cost and their computer systems were down frequently
4.0
Good option in Umhlanga rocks.
Things which could be improved easily:
- more careful room service (one day room was done by the housekeeping and the towel replacement was not provided, I had to call to have them back)
- I had to ask for the shower mat and it disappeared again the following day. Looks like it’s not part of the standard provision
- the sustainability policy for towels is just on the paper. Even if I left them hanging for reuse, these have been changed daily.
Last, one bottle of water could be added in the room at least at the arrival as a courtesy.
2.0
Previously there use to be individual amenities for shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. This time, there was ONE bottle for all 3 in the shower. As a woman, i was horrified. There is no longer a shower cap given or even a devent sized soap.

Ideally located in a street full of excellent restaurants. Hotel Staff all very friendly and helpful. Large room with two Queen beds and a ( slight) view to the Sea. Would stay here in Umhlanga Rocks again if visiting Durban ( 20 min drive away)

Nice hotel in the Umhlanga Rocks area, the entrance can be tricky to spot, its just next to the restaurants and bars on the right hand side of the "Umhlanga Rocks" sign!
Rooms are comfy, quiet, clean, spacious. Nice breakfast. Lovely staff. Good load shedding protection, didn't notice outages at all.
