Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well kept. Love the stay, would go back there.

Alright place however was much better 5 years ago, they allow way to many day visitors which ruins the whole experience at the hotel pool, nearly no one there even has a bracelet on to identify themselves.
Secondly the worst housekeeping, never comes in the morning to clean always excuses had to call them every afternoon to ask why it has not been done .
For the money a person spends there u would expect better.

Front desk staff was very helpful and nice. Room was beautiful and comfortable bed. Wish i could have stayed longer to enjoy the property.

Check-in was confusing due to payment from Expedia only showing as 1 room was payed for staff then took another payment which needed refunded as whole payment was actually paid! It was also a 50th wedding anniversary night which I advised hotel about and they responded to me but didn’t acknowledge this event at all - rooms were beautiful and view was perfect

This property is great for a few peaceful nights. The pools are great, breakfast is great and the sushi is first class. If you are travelling into or from Durban airport it is only a 15 minute drive which is amazing. It is in a complex and you have to drive to go anywhere so it’s more of a ‘stay at as a destination’ as opposed to a ‘stay as a base to travel from’ hotel

It was amazing definitely going back but with the family since it caters for families too

I felt at home and everyone was so friendly and helpful. A pity the gate to the beach was closed.

Never again!!
Room stank of smoke. Basin in room was in shocking state, toilet did not flush properly. Food in restaurants stupidly OVER-PRICED. Breakfast spread was good but again STUPIDLY OVER-PRICED.

Friendly and professional service

Capital Zimbali still as good as Fairmont Zimbali!
Hotel staff and management were friendly and happy to engage a newly married couple who spent their honeymoon night at this hotel. The views, room and the atmosphere were lovely and befitting for such an occasion.

Fantastic service and beautiful resort
Exceptional service, something that is hard to come by these days in local hotels.
A hotel that also keeps up with the times… there’s a Smart TV in the room which was amazing, in room dining can be ordered through your cellphone (amazing), what more could one ask for?
Service was also fantastic at the Copper restaurant with a wide selection of breakfast options.
Only disappointment was The Firerroom restaurant. Was too noisy and busy, service wasn’t great and food was expensive but didn’t live up to price.
Well done to the hotel for the fantastic up keep, great service and comfort. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Hi thank you 🙏.
The service at the restaurant was outstanding as well as the access gates to Zimbali. However housekeeping fell short of expectations. Room wasn't properly cleaned and the amenities not replenished. We returned to our room after 10pm on Saturday to a room smelling of damp. The dstv didn't work properly in both rooms. We reported it. It remained unresolved until we checked out.
So the quality of the hotel service doesn't match the star rating which is unfortunate.

Enjoyed staying here my family loved it, the only issue was the entrance at the gate with the codes.
