Southern Sun Elangeni And Maharani

I went to the restaurant for my birthday. The food was amazing. The seafood is cooked fresh which is amazing for a buffet. Service was great. Overall I had a great time. Personally I think it's worth the price. Would 100% recommend. But remember to bring your hunger.

Great service and clean rooms. Nice views of the ocean. Rather small rooms to share. Not sure how a family would manage for a weekend. Good food and friendly staff. It did take a while to get the room ready though and that was quite annoying

I recently stayed here for over 5 days booked on both sides 2 days at Maharani section and 3 days at Elangeni section. Firstly service from both sides was outstanding, very warm stuff, always helpful up till the car guard infront of the hotels amazing service and willing to assist always they made u feel safe even wen traveling with public transport. Food- food is good not amazing, Elangeni is very noisy with it being open to public and mostly booked by the public. If you want something more peace ful use the other restaurants on the premises. Their fizz jug drinks that comes with ur buffet booking is tasteless. Maharanis chairs at their breakfast point does not cater for all shapes and sizes as I witnessed a group of elderly women struggle to sit in their chairs during breakfast. Variety on their buffet and breakfast is average. Rooms: Elangeni gave us our first room very spacious with beautiful view of the ocean that was breathtaking, but the beds are not comfortable at all what a struggle getting out of bed. We were then moved to another room the smallest room with bad air conditioning. Maharani: - room was spacious, clean and beautiful but the Bed! Very uncomfortable basically swallows you into the centre of the bed. The hotel is immaculate in all but furniture and design needs a bit of an upgrade. It’s a walking distance to the beach which is amazing and the safety at the beach and visibility of police is great. Nonetheless it was a great stay.
