Despite a dismal booking and check-in experience the rest of the stay was wonderful. Direct feedback with the booking and front desk team has been shared but no attempt at amends were made.

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 !

Yet again another amazing stay at the Oyster Box. Thanks to all the staff involved for making the 8 days so perfect, all were exceptional but we would like to give a special thank you to 3 staff that made our 3 hour breakfasts on the Terrace so wonderful, Stephanie, Letho & Andile you were amazing and we can’t wait to come back and see you again next year if not sooner.

Oyster Box - Disappointing Stay
The service from staff and overall friendliness of the staff is outstanding. The hotel itself leaves alot to be desired. The rooms are small and everything is crammed into this small space. The set up is old and outdated with take away from the appeal of the hotel. The rooms are not cleaned properly and we often found slithering insects/worms on the floor. The Ocean Terrace - the food was good, not outstanding but my main issues is that staff are not knowledgeable on the wine list or dishes offered. The seating seems to be subjective as on my 1st visit, I was seated right at the door of the hotel. This was uncomfortable. The 2nd night, I was seated under the broken roof, again not ideal. All restaurants close at 10pm even for hotel guests, this is another major issue. When I compare this to the Saxon which is similar in pricing then this hotel is a rip off. The Saxon Hotel is miles ahead on every aspect.
Fabrizio
We loved absoultey everything about this magnificent property. We look forward to our next stay.
Adrian

Its was good however the fruit that was placed in the room was not checked.
julie
The Oyster Box is unique and exceptional in every way. It's like stepping back in time but with first rate modern service and attention to detail. The staff are all really lovely, nothing is too much trouble and its the best hotel I have stayed in.
Nicholas
Yet another fabulous stay at the Oyster Box, such a wonderful place to stay and relax with ultra friendly and efficient staff. We especially look forward to the buffet breakfast, a great way to start the day, sat on the terrace looking out in to the Indian Ocean and spotting the passing whales and dolphins, such a treat. A special mention and thanks must go to Wesley and Clive along with their teams for looking after us as usual, can’t wait for next year.

It was a short stay both times, so we were unable to use the amenities, however we still had an absolutely amazing stay. Staff and service were exceptional, they were very friendly and always ready to assist, and go over and above. The rooms are beautiful, very comfortable and cater to all needs and they made a special surprise for us when we got to the room for our anniversary celebration. We had a sea-facing room which was absolutely stunning to wake up to the sound of the waves and go to sleep to the same. Food was delicious, and the oyster and sparkling wine breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious and catered to every taste. Definitely worth staying there. We would love to go back!

This truly was a 5 star experience!! My daughter literally didn’t want to leave, she called it home away from home. That’s how well they treated us. The service is amazing everyone takes you seriously as a guest. They seem to get it right all the time it wasn’t our first stay but they still managed to dazzle us with their hospitality. From the checking in, to the room, the food etc .

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Oyster Box. It felt “old world” yet modern. The outdoor patio, main dining room and rooftop bar were really enjoyable. The staff is extremely welcoming. Food is quite good and it’s at a beautiful location, overlooking the ocean. The staff were wonderful.
Shirley
Beautiful hotel, having stayed before and having appreciated the outstanding service and staff, I did feel the service in the Terrace had slipped somewhat.
Nicholas
The Oyster box is a fabulous place to stay, very luxurious with outstanding staff. This was our third stay here and are looking forward to our next visit.
The buffet breakfast on the terrace is superb and sets you up for the whole day, Oysters, curry and champagne, what’s not to like!!! A long leisurely breakfast has to followed by a walk along the vey clean and safe promenade, what a fabulous stay.

Before our arrival we received a questionnaire from the hotel asking us what our preferences were in several areas. We were met at the airport by a friendly chauffeur who drove us to the hotel and offered us bottles of water of our choosing. On arrival at the hotel we were welcomed by a welcoming party. Of particular note was the adherence to Covid-19 precautions with every item touched being wiped clean. As we were returning to the hotel after 53 years, having spent our honeymoon at the hotel in 1969, we were granted an upgrade to a beautiful sea and lighthouse facing room. Soon after our settling into our room we were presented with a bottle of champagne and of water as well as plates of cakes .
We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights, ate at the bar restaurant on 2 occasions and enjoyed the wonderful and varied breakfasts. All in all we rate the Oyster Box as one of the very best hotels we have every stayed at. Very highly recommended.

We stayed for one night as a romantic getaway. The room was small with a sea view and little verandah but nothing special for the 350usd a night price tag. The breakfast was under par for a 5 star hotel, and the service was also not great. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location is great, but at this price tag not to be recommended.

Overrated
I have stayed a lot of times in the Beverly Hills hotel across the road and it was always a dream to stay in the Oyster Box. After n tiresome trip with Covid 19 regulations we arrived at the hotel hungry and I wanted a salad. We could only order from current menu being send from one restaurant to another (16:00 in afternoon). Well I had to settle for a scone and tea. As a gold member on hotels.com no one offered us any of the extras that was promised. No free bottle of wine, we could not have a late check out and also no R95 credit on food as promised. The only good thing was we had to check out at 11 and we had high tea from 12 to 4 as our flight was at 18:00. This was a very disappointing experience, I will definitely not be back at the Oysterbox soon.

Not worth the money
It certainly wasn't worth the money. The rooms are minuscule for the price, the service shoddy and we certainly will never stay there again
Andrea
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and although I loved everything, I have to say that the service was exceptional - all members of staff went above and beyond themselves. I will definitely return

Service is outstanding, clearly staff training is a priority. A gentle, gracious , beautifully decorated hotel in a magnificent location.

Breakfast wow. The staff very welcoming at breakfast and willing to assist in any way they can. They went beyond their way to make us enjoy dining especially two male waiters ( one African and Indian guys- sorry forgot their names). It was truly a pleasure staying at the Oystee. I was not feeling well so I had mostly room service, bed very comfortable!

Oyster Box - Way above average.
We had a very enjoyable weekend away even though we live a few kilometres away. The Oyster box is above average even for a 5 star hotel.
The welcome and attitude of staff was refreshingly good and positive. Their breakfast was excellent.
The rooms were well appointed, comfortable and clean.

The property has a magnificent pool as their marketing attraction, chose this hotel for a mini vacation get away.. when we arrived there was a sign in the lobby the pool was closed ! The pool was under going a full refurbishment, resulting in the breakfast outdoor patio having its ocean views impeded.. the jack hammers took away from any peace and tranquility.. furthermore the rooms above my room where under renovation resulting in drilling and banging for the majority of the day! When booking this property there was no disclaimer advising potential guests of the inconveniences and further more the hotel was charging full rates.. ! Unacceptable for a leading hotel of the world branded hotel to have such disregard for their guests..
Robina
Wonderful hotel in a great setting. Great attention to detail, excellent staff and superb breakfasts. Stayed 5 nights, so had time to make use of the spa - therapists took great care and spa nibbles were a great touch.
Only downsides - Hamman only free for guests from 8am-10am, rooms not huge (but who cares with such magnificent views).
Very special - highly recommend. Skabenga a resident cat completes the experience.

Great hotel. Couldn’t find a fault with it. Only problem for us was too many children which I know is not the fault of the hotel

Amazing stay at Oyster Box Hotel
Amazing stay at the Oyster Box Hotel. Service and attention to detail was great. Food was delicious (especially the curry buffet and breakfast buffet). The staff are all so friendly and can't do enough for you. We were unable to get a massage at the spa as they were fully booked, however, they still allowed us to use all of the facilities which are great. The plunge pool at our apartment stayed relatively warm even after the sun went down, so we were able to stay in the water and enjoy a nice bottle of wine. When the sun is shining the main pool is a great place to relax, with a view of the famous lighthouse and sea. Would love to stay again.

Bar menu Room service.
We’ve enjoyed our stay. However to be honest the bar menu should have a more reasonable priced bar menu. This should include toasted sandwiches. I don’t believe there should be a surcharge on the breakfast coffee brought to the room.

amazing free upgrade to a room with private plunge pool, very unexpected but very welcome

Amazing hotel would defiantly recommend!!!!!
Amazing hotel and best breakfast I’ve ever had in a hotel. Felt a bit strange being a solo traveller at the hotel when was constantly asked at breakfast whether “it’s just you; you are on your own”.
The staff were excellent and provided excellent customer service; although it was a bit much at times - when I was used the spa to shower before departure and staff came into room about 6 times to tidy up and check things.

Outstanding stay
Really first class hotel with first class service. Superb position overlooking the Indian Ocean. Staff so helpful, polite and professional, all going that 'extra mile' to give outstanding service. Excellent breakfast with good lunch and dinner served on The Terrace and The Grill Room served exceptional food. An altogether memorable experience. We hope to return, yet again

Lovely hotel, but way over-priced.
The Oyster Box has an unrivalled location on the Umhlanga beachfront, which is probably what one pays for, as this is one of the most expensive hotels we've stayed in worldwide. This is extra surprising for South Africa, which, in general, is amazingly well priced. The colonial style decor and abundance of local art are a delight, and our room was very comfortable, but, given the hefty price tag of over AU$ 1500 a night, I expected perfection and we did not get this. The room is small for this price, for which I would have expected a Junior Suite, with separate sitting room. It is really just the size of a standard room in luxury hotels, and the same goes for the bathroom. Also, it was noisy, as we could hear people walking around in the room above us, as well as all the noise out in the courtyard that it leads off. The service is excellent and all the staff can be congratulated for their professionalism and friendliness.

Oyster Box, the best in the world!!!!!
I have stayed in quite a few hotels around the world, however, this beats the Ritz, Intercontinental, Four Seasons, in fact the very best ever!

Exceptional service...pity about the room
The location and service of this hotel are incomparable.The food is excellent and plentiful and the decor in the public areas is beautiful. Our only complaints are that the standard ocean facing rooms are miniscule, almost claustrophobic, and the bathroom is not at all well designed. The location of the bedside table made it impossible to open the extreme right cupboard door fully. There is also very little storage space so if one was planning a trip of longer than two or three days, one would have to be content with living out of a suitcase for part of the time. The shower is over the bathtub (something we haven't seen in years) and the water spilling onto the floor makes an awful mess whenever the shower is used.
