Top La Lucia Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Durban Umhlanga

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and location "

The Oyster Box

10/10 Excellent

"The ever splendid Oyster Box. Personal and attentive service in a stunning setting. Uniquely charming. Fabulous service at every turn from the lovely first aiders to the friendly and professional pool staff, to the polite and charming front desk staff . But as ever the icing on this fabulous cake were George and his team and Leon in The Grill. Faultless and friendly service , enthusiastic shared knowledge from a great sommelier and head of house and lovely music from maestro Leon. The monkeys are ever cheekier and Sabenka is sadly missed but the splendour of this lovely hotel endures . And our new favourite breakfast server , Charlie on The Terrace . Already counting the days until we return . Also very lovely to experience sunrise and the regular dolphins swimming by from the sea facing garden cabana . I just need to win the lottery to stay in that amazing Presidential suite ! "

Belaire Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing trip The beds are so comfortable and the service is excellent. Really enjoyed the breakfast and there were separate vegetarian/halaal options which was awesome. we were just disappointed to get a 2nd floor apartment which was too low for a sea view, there were no apartments available on higher floors"
