The entertainment team deserve a mention 10 out 10 for there program which kept everybody involved. But all the staff at Cabanna beach deserve a pat on the back. Already planning our next visit for March next year. Many thanks Ken & Jane (smith)

We booked into Cabana Beach for a timeshare week in September. We had a lovely stay. Renovated rooms are modern and beautiful. Hotel and gardens are very well maintained. Staff are very friendly and the entertainment team are super awesome. Lots of activities throughout the day for adults and children. Great night life in the area with lots of things to do. It is safe to walk in the streets and on the beach in the evenings. I highly recommend this resort. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we cannot wait to return :)

I haven't received such great service in a local South African resort in a long time. The staff were so friendly and accommodating to our needs especially the night of the tornado when our rooms got flooded. I felt very safe in the resort especially with kids. The entertainment for them was fantastic. Location is excellent with direct beach access n close to restaurants. Very neat n clean Only upgrade would be to remove the carpets which remained damp and change the wooden balcony doors.

While the resort is quite book it’s not at all a 4 star resort by any standards. The resorts lacks class. In terms of amenities in the bathroom there is no: 1. Shampoo 2. Body cream 3. Conditioner 4. Bottled water bearing in mind the tap water in Natal is bad. 5. For your entire stay you get 2 tea bags, 2 coffee, 2 sugar. No refills. I stayed at many 4 star establishments they really make your stay comfortable with amenities you don’t need to worry about. The Wifi is terrible keeps disconnecting, you unable to get signal near the pools. Nice to see some changes like new rooms 1st and second floor, new passage tiles and nearly painted looks really good. I really suggest that if for claim to be 4 star, provide the 4 star facilities. Lastly arranged porters please, happy to tip them. Not just a small bar soap on the bathroom…

Dear brain1637, Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey with your constructive feedback - pleased to note you like the changes to the new rooms. Cabana Beach Resort is a 4 star self-catering timeshare resort, we do provide limited amenities like bath soap, dishwashing soap and a once off welcome pack with tea, coffee and sugar. unfortunately the offerings are not the same as the hotel amenities. We have noted the interrupted Wi-Fi signal near the pools and do apologize for any inconvenience caused. Hope you had a pleasant stay and look forward to welcoming you back on your return visit.

We love the resort . The place is so beautiful and comfortable , it feels like you’re at home . We also loved the entertainment available as there is always something to do for adults and kids . I also really liked the renovated family pool which felt much warmer now ! Great being opposite oceans mall as everything is now walking distance ( supermarkets , amazing restaurants, bars and shopping ) .the staff are also 5 star and they’re all always so friendly and accommodating! We live in the UK and always stop there whenever we visit SA annually as it’s our favourite resort !

The only negative is the lack of knowing your audience..the entertainment manager needs a little guidance in understanding what the holiday makers think and should be visible at the pools and entertainment center at all times...E.g the music is extremely loud at the children's pool, no management connection to enquire the loudness of the music or what type of music should be played.... no management visible whatsoever??? and then one bears the question why people invest elsewhere??
