We really enjoyed our stay at Umhlanga Sands. Great sea views, friendly staff, spotlessly clean. As our family joined us with their kids, we found the entertainment was excellent, and there was plenty for the kids to do. We would definitely return to The Sands, we were very happy.

I just spent two weeks at umhlanga sands. It was the best time I have had in Durban. The hotel staff were accommodating and friendly. The hotel is in a great location. Umhlanga is a great location. I’ve stayed at the hotel before a few years ago, now it’s been revamped quite nicely. The best thing about my stay was the cleanliness of my room. Everyday it was spotless. To all the ladies on the 16th floor thank you for the excellent service all the time.

My husband and I love to go anywhere requiring our US Passport, We traveled Sept. 2019 , but Im just running across a spot to give the reviews!! we decided to join family on a visit to Durban SA. I can not tell you enough how amazing this land and the people here are. We enjoyed ourselves 1000%. The best most relaxing part of our trip was the week we stayed at the UMhlanga Sands When I say Beautiful I am not just being kind. It is the cleanest resort we've been to thus far and the layout is amazing. The staff were so helpful and genuinely friendly. I have not one thing to say displeasing about this place. My one complaint is we had to go home to soon. I loved my visit . The resort is a family friendly, couples friendly and friends accommodating Resort. It is centrally located to walk to the eateries, Shopping and last but never least Grand amazing Beach views and access.. You will not ever be disappointed here.... …

I checked in to the Umhlanga Sands Resorts n Saturday 21st Nov 2020. I was very very disappointed with the condition of the rooms. In this time of Covid, cleanliness should be given top priority. When we checked in, we were given room 1710. When I got to the room, the bed had dust, and black spots on it. The sheets, pillow slips and covers, were a different shade of brown. There was a wrapper on the floor, making me think that this room was not cleaned. Happy to share pics on whatsapp. I went back down to reception and was moved to another room which was 1610. When I got to that room, the door was opened. Furthermore there was a dirty dish cloth left on the dressing table. I called reception, and asked Tarshan (who checked us in) to come up with a manager. Unfortunately no manager was around at the time, so he came up with Felicia. I showed him the dirty dishcloth, as well as the pubic hair on the top covers of the bed, as well as hair, and what looked like shed skin. Both Felicia and Tarshan where also shocked at what they saw. Anyways, Felicia proceeded to get housekeeping in there and changed all the sheets, covers, as well as mattress protector, as it had brown stains all over it. A few minutes later maintenance also came to the room as the sliding door was seized, and it need to be “loosened”. Whilst they where there, I had a manager, Carissa come up to the room, and had to relay the issues again. By that time I was tired, frustrated, and annoyed at the fact that I had friends who came up to visit, and I had maintenance men, housekeeping and a manager to see to. Apart from this, a few things I noticed wrt the construction/renovations taking place, is that the guys who are doing the job, are trapsing up and down, with no masks, holding the tools that are dropping dust all over receptions etc. I am shocked and appalled at whoever the project manager is of the whole renovations. Clearly there is no coordination, and reception area becomes very unsightly with construction workers, walking up and down, whilst people are trying to check in, or go to their rooms, as well as the beach. I am sorry, but the worst thing that any resort could do right now, is drop the ball on cleanliness, in light of the Covid 19 virus we are currently experiencing.…
