I was very impressed by the staff during my stay at the Holiday Inn Express Durban. Each and every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and very helpful. I have stayed in many hotels previously however must say this was the best service I experienced in a longs time. Thank you for making my 2 weeks stay with my mum so welcoming

Great concept but I feel the resort needs a breath of life…new coat of paint and updated signage. Staff was exceptional from check in to restaurant, to housekeeping. Food was OK, drinks menu OK. The kids had a blast and that would probably the only reason I’d come back for another stay.

The property is beautiful and I loved the boardwalks through the forest. The staff was very helpful, professional, and friendly - they went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegetarian and the chef made a delicious curry even though it wasn't on the menu. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Fantastic budget hotel
This place was amazing. Clean, beautiful views, quiet area, large rooms. Staff were helpful and friendly and stay out of your way so you can do whatever you want to. The only issue is that the parking can be a bit difficult to manage with a large vehicle.
