The Balmoral Hotel is a bit dated but clean. In my room the AC didn't initially work but two quick visits from staff and that was remedied. The bathroom is VERY TINY and the shower/tub requires a big step up to get in and out. The Balmoral is right on the beach and has lots of restaurants nearby which is convenient. There are vendors who set up at the beach too. Note the sockets are different than in other parts of South Africa. I didn't have the correct adapter here when I did in Cape Town and Sodwana Bay.

Arrived after a 29 hour flight from USA In checking in they did not find my booking which i had done online and later told that their system had nit updated,this booking was done a month prior and should have updated.Got my room after this delay and Pushed a heavy trolley to 3 rd floor where I discovered the room was not made and the former occupants still had things there and they were late to check out.How could the room be declared clean in the system Took more than 20 minutes to be moved to another room Found the room already open and the manager forgot to give me room keys Went down again to collect keys Came back twice and keys were not working At night there was extremely loud music and partying till 4 am right across the hotel Never had a minute of sleep Why can't the hotel work with local authorities to limit the time that people can play music at the beach This was my worst experience at a hotel and was planning to bro g a group of friends from USA and I will not subject them to this standard

Amazing views & value

The hotel staff is beyond the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever encountered while traveling extensively. From the hotel manager, reception desk, the restaurant, and the housekeeping staff, everyone was incredible. We had a room facing the water, so it was incredible to look out the windows and clearly see the water and beach. The room was not noisy at all. Breakfast had lots of options and we ate dinner in the hotel almost every night. We already booked this hotel for next year for 10 days.
