    • Everything was amazing. We arrived early hoping to leave our luggage and go to see the sights until check in time opens but we were greeted with nice welcoming complementary drinks, and our room was ready by 12 noon.In the room, everything was clean and fresh with more complementary snacks and fruits available on display to consume.the breakfast was amazing, lunch and dinner amazing and of quite the high standard.the view was awesome both from the room and the restaurant terrace as well as by the pool. The staff is so friendly and helpful but not at all annoying or in your face too much.Our room was cleaned every day with fresh change of linens.The whole team really goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and taken care of. One of the best places we have been to as a couple in South Africa.They also provide guest dressing gowns, sleepers and heated towels.
    • Wonderful hotel and rooms, I stayed in a suite which is sizeable and beautifully designed, with its own balcony.
    • What a phenomenal tranquil escape at Sala!Thank you to the team for making our weekend stay incredible. It truly was one for the books. From the facilities in the villa to the meticulous attention to detail, the amazing service, and not forgetting the incredible menu options( that seafood grill!!!)10/10.It's truly a great accommodation for a group or family trip or sister date or couples nton nton and I have experienced it as all of the above and highly recommend.What remains to be said is... Sala... See you soon!

    Cons -

    • Having to leave.the only thing we disliked was the fact that we had to leave that place.
    • The Christmas lunch was a Huge disappointment - the entire menu. To top it all - we were served a rea roast - have you ever heard of such???One the challenge the Hospitality industry in KZN have is the sense of relativity the stuff have with black patrons that sometimes they start treat you like you are friend - they become sloppy in their responsiveness which id glaringly not the same with responding to caucasian patrons. Unfortunately Sala is not immune to this - i think its something to workshop with your team Zinhle.
    • Nothing!My only upset was getting my bill and discovering that the spa lady sold me an eye cream and quoted me 250 but I was billed R2250,00 and I was horrified because I had already opened it, a misunderstanding but the price should be visible on the item snd not apparently on a printed list stuck in the cupboard. My husband also heard her say 250, if I paid there & then this misunderstanding would of been established but she suggested our treatments and this product got added to my hotel bill ☹️

    I loved everything about the venue. The food was very good, the Beach Villa we stayed in was excellent. And that was an unexpected but a wonderful upgrade.The best massage and most professional massage I’ve had in a long time. The best part was the staff everyone was wonderful and made our stay memorable. I wish we had more time and I will definitely be back for a longer stay

    Zinhle is an amazing human being, thoughtful and great at her work. She curated a great stay for my parents and I Her “dopeness” permeates through the employees. The employees tried to make my parents as comfortable as possible and attended to their needs

    In the most gorgeous position on the coast with very attentive staff wanting you to have a relaxing time. The room was outstanding with everything thought of. Dinner was incredible out overlooking the ocean. The food was honestly outstanding!

    Everything! From the friendly staff to the delicious food and breathtaking views. What a stunning establishment.

    10TessaPosted on: 8-13-2024

    It felt like i was overseas since we walked in. A beautiful paradise All the staff was super friendly from our arrival to our check outCant wait for our next visit

    There is nothing, but everything to loveThey guy at the restaurant was super amazing and friendly the 1st day, our second day he had an attitude and our last departure day he was unfriendly

    9SamPosted on: 4-7-2024

    Location, felt like a safari/beach holiday

    Food wasn’t that great, not bad but I wouldn’t go there just for food.

    8TraceyPosted on: 3-25-2024

    Loved the decor, position, service, setting and facilities. Good menu and good use of space. Loved the pool area and courtyard. I would say this is the best beach resort we have in KZN. Slick service and great attention to detail.

    I really feel that this is overpriced for what is included. Most of the top game lodges charge a similar rate but include meals and drinks. We have been fortunate to travel extensively, and feel this should be priced better, especially for locals. Perhaps all inclusive at a slightly higher rate OR reduce the rate and only include breakfast.

    10GabrielaPosted on: 3-7-2024

    Fantastic location, best view, friendly staff.A dream!

    10ZakithiPosted on: 1-25-2024

    loved the breakfast, ambience, serenity , definately coming back

    Unusual place- not really a hotel- but a wonderful location/ view and really great staff looking after us

    9TarrynPosted on: 7-17-2023

    Sala is a luxurious, exclusive guest house. The furnishings are luxurious and modern. The staff are extremely attentive and will go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself. Sala can compete on the same level as the Oyster Box in Umhlanga, but the best part is that Sala is small, exclusive and intimate as opposed to a big hotel. Sala is perfect for the traveler who is looking for luxury, and also wanting a more exclusive intimate and quieter stay. I love Sala Beach House.

    There is absolutely nothing I didn’t like !

    10GrahamPosted on: 1-30-2023

    location is great, the view is really nice and beach house is very well finished and beautiful.

    10JiharkaPosted on: 12-18-2022

    The hotel is less then a year old, state of art design and amenities, exceptional stuff and treatment. Best view on the coast, direct access to a nice (unequipped) blue flag beach. Room is spacious and has all you need for a nice stay (from basics to yoga mats and sun cream), has all possible plugs, a work desk and all in exactly right places. Exceptional reception with a MCC welcome drink and help with the bags. No energy/wifi disruptions - probably iwn generators in place. Outstanding SPA centre onsite, requires upfront booking. Pictures on booking.com exactly as things are in reality.

    The lunch& dinner are one thing this hotel could work on. The restaurant offers set menu with 2-3 choices of starters and mains. Food is okey but i would expect a better quality for the price & in such an amazing place. Breakfasts are super nice still (especially the full continental one)

    10JamesPosted on: 12-14-2022

    the most tranquil and comfortable place I’ve experienced in a long time. Attention to detail from the entrance, bedrooms dining room is unbelievable. the staff were without doubt one of the best features from Natalie and Craig to the chef and spa Zee.

    7FionaPosted on: 11-1-2022

    Spaces are beautiful, bedrooms lovely and all attention to detail is made. Breakfast very good, coffee great. Loved the decor and the peace and quiet. Staff are attentive and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

    Dinner looked promising and so elegant but was in fact a huge let down. So much detail and attention in this hotel and yet the food is not up to scratch. Butternut soup was bland, mussel fettuccine tasteless without balance or flavor and chicken with aubergine dry and boring. Perhaps keep food ingredients simple with attention to clean, tasty dishes with colour, best ingredients and freshness. Dont overthink it - use good meat, fresh salads and good olive oil ... simple!
