Adele Reviewa's Review of Umngazi Hotel And Spa

GOOGLE - Michelle Carr - 13 Nov 2023 - - - "A Slice of Paradise: Unforgettable Stay at Umngazi Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) First time staying at Umngazi and it just became the highlight of our year? Seriously, this place is like a slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived until our very reluctant departure, every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations, making it an unforgettable experience. Upon entering reception, we were greeted by warm and courteous staff, setting the tone for the rest of our stay. The check-in process was swift and seamless. OMG, our room (lower bank sea facing (1a) was like stepping into a Pinterest board. Spotless, comfy bed, breath taking views – they really nailed the whole "chill in style" vibe. The attention to detail had us feeling fancy without the uptight vibe. Pure relaxation mode: activated. We absolutely loved the outdoor shower. The ONLY negative was there was no aircon in the room, but the overhead fan worked very well, so we didn’t miss the aircon. The food at Umngazi was very good, particularly the lunch options. We enjoyed a private dinner in the Gazebo to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it was one of the highlights of our stay. Very good value for money. The resort's recreational facilities are second to none. The pristine pool, well-equipped fitness centre, tennis court, the warm, inviting bar, canoes, stand up paddle boards, numerous hikes, to name just a few, provided ample opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation. And the Spa? After a full body massage and bath ritual, we practically floated out of there on clouds. The spa alone is worth the visit. If you have young children – this is a dream family holiday. There is so much to keep little ones busy – games, fishing, kids area with beautiful outdoor equipment, big jungle gym etc etc. Makes me wish we had young kids again – just to take them there. It would have been nice to have some sort of adult entertainment to entice guests into the bar – post dinner, as it is very quiet. Having said that, we understand our stay was “out of season”. Umngazi isn’t just a stay, it’s a whole vibe. Whether you're into luxury, good food or just kicking back and relaxing, this place delivers. From its stunning location to its wide range of facilities and great service, every aspect of our stay was a testament to the resort's dedication to creating a memorable experience for its guests. Without a doubt, we eagerly anticipate our next visit to this unparalleled slice of paradise. Total bliss🌴🌟"
