Plussat: Summerhill unveils a generous amount of hospitality delivered with passion by this family owned culinary retreat. The accommodation allows for a comfortable nights rest with beautiful views that I suspect are lush in summer. BUT the main reason you will visit, is to savour their Living Room "Restaurant" that with a limited hosted 24 guests per seating offers a hidden culinary experience serving a 4, 5 or 7 course menu with handpicked wine parings. No pretences, its is beautifully plated food, sustainably sourced, and available.

Plussat: It's a beautiful place, quite, clean, friendly staff, good breakfast, close to malls and shopping centers easy access to the freeway.

Miinukset: People didn't really use the living room much. I don't think that we are allowed to eat in the rooms

Plussat: Nice

Miinukset: No beans

Plussat: Always good.

Miinukset: Restaurants need work.

Plussat: My children and myself enjoyed their breakfast. I also liked that there were lifeguards at the swimming pools. The cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff was pleasing.

Miinukset: I did not like the delay in room service, for an example if you requested a spoon, you get it after an hour, by that time what i wanted to eat was already cold. What made me more angry was that on the menu I had ordered, there was basmati rice and when they delivered my order, it was just an ordinary rice. There was no explanation or an apology for that and yet I had paid a full amount for that order.

Plussat: The room was amazing and the service from the staff exceeded all expectations. Ps I loved the fluffy towels

Miinukset: The parking space

Plussat: The pools were fine and the spa was good. The hotel menu was ok. The view was stunning

Miinukset: No air conditioning in the entire building. In the rooms, in the lift, at the breakfast area. This was very bad. Due to the hotel having no air conditioning I will never return. The rooms were not ready at 1:45 and check in is at 2:00. We were exhausted from the flight and the heat and my room was not ready and the staff looked like they couldn’t care less. The staff was not very friendly and polite. The passages of the hotel was untidy there was a bundle of hair laying on the floor for the entire day and there were cleaners on that floor but no staff picked it up. This was not a wonderful sight walking into all the time. The bathrooms looked old fashion. The doors had no ironmongery to keep the door open. My sons shoes got left behind at the pool area. The evening I enquired about the shoes and lost and found said they have it I must collect in the morning. The next morning they told me later that day. The evening came and the staff said the next morning. I went again the following morning and the staff said no shoes were found. So why for 2 days would a staff members tell me they found it but when I had to collect they never delivered. That was not right.

Miinukset: Very beautiful and comfortable.

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: Crowded

Plussat: Amenities close by good location

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Discrimination between Indians and Blacks. Indians were given first preference even though we were the first in queues

Plussat: The hotel is a walk away from the beach in a safe area. I absolutely love the treatment from the staff. They were kind and friendly. Breakfast at the property is amazing. It’s a buffet set up breakfast with vast options to choose from.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent and the quality of food is excellent....though very expensive. Delicious food prepared by professionals who knows exactly what they are doing. Nice view....the beach and the surrounding areas.

Miinukset: The quality/standard of the bathrooms was bad for a couple (very small). The shower was malfunctioning, the safe was not properly working, hotel staff had to come fix it for me. Old paint on the walls and dirty walls for a 4 star hotel. The standard of the swimming pool and the area around it was bad maybe due to the large number of people during this time of the year but I still believe it is the duty of the hotel management to take that into account. No parking for the cars, we had to park our car at overflow parking area (infrastructure which is not fully developed). Compared to May 2014 when I was there, the standard of the Southern Sun Hotel Durban has dropped. The grass around the beach not nice...please speak to municipality to take care of that.....My reference point is my experience in May/June 2014. I received a royal treatment in that hotel and the grass and the facilities around the area was excellent.
