We stayed in a 4 sleeper unit on the 3rd floor. The unit was very well equipped neat and clean. The check in process was quick and efficient with porters waiting on hand to haul the luggage. Great secure under cover parking for an extra charge per day. All Covid protocols in place with sanitizers everywhere. Magnificent views and beautiful gardens with lots of photo opportunities and many beach chairs everywhere. It is a very large resort so be prepared to walk. 2 lovely pools and a nice spacious deck to relax and view the ocean. Towels and umbrellas are provided for the beach - what a bonus. Restaurants on site and service by the pool. Tennis courts were available too but not so nice that you have to pay 50c per minute to keep the tennis court lights on at night. It felt very safe and relaxed and the service and staff are exemplary. Any call to housekeeping is responded to instantly. Unfortunately the floor above us made lots of noise late at night and one phone call to reception and they promptly rectified the matter. Brilliant world class beach and promenade in front of the complex and many shops and eateries within walking distance. I think it is off peak season so we virtually had the resort to ourselves. There was maintenance work happening but we were advised up front and it was not intrusive. Fast high speed uncapped free internet was appreciated. Overall I can't wait to be back again especially during off peak season as I imagine it may be very popular and overcrowded during peak summer seasons. Thank you for a relaxing 2 weeks with no real reason to leave the resort premises!…

Always enjoy my stay. Noticed many upgrades. Nice to see. I wait every year to have my beauty treatments done at Hair and Beauty at Cabana. Don't get such good treatments in Gauteng. The owner, Michelle, is very helpful. Parking was a problem because of upgrades. Understandable.

What a amazing holiday we had at Cabana beach resort, my first time being here and we are leaving this place with great memories and excitement for next year and the years to come.I don't regret getting time shares at this resort . This is my first time being here and my wife second time,i had to see what this place was all about. We took the 6 sleeper apartment 416(2 bed rooms, one sleeper couch) and it was a pleasant apartment with beautiful view of the ocean,The Apartment got cleaned daily, we came back to a clean place with non of our items missing and just want to thank the cleaning staff for this. We also feld very safe and secure at the resort . The pool area is such great place to be at, pool is always clean and the best of all to get services from the on site wimpy. Entertainment at this place is wonderful they always have some competition with activities, the entertainment team you all are great and i could really see you all enjoy what you are doing. My wife and I feld so welcome and happy. Massive thanks to Iain, Kai and the rest of the team on our stay(Week 20 2021) your work is much appreciated.

We own timeshare here for past 30 years. We chose to buy here as it was a gold crown resort, huge resort premises, pristine views and right on the beach. Unsurpassed location in umhlanga rubbing shoulders with the very best and rich and famous!! Cabana beach delivers... Its the best vacation destination for whole family. Beautiful family pools and serene adult pool areas separately. The flats are fully catering The wimpy is situated right on the pool areas beautiful breakfasts and snacks all day long. This grand old lady needs to be renovated as it goes into another era post covid lockdowns and temporary closure last in 2019. I look forward to coming back again
