Luxury dwelling with some rough edges still to be refined.”
The building is brand spanking new with the smell of paint still in the air and a construction site adjacent where the newest section of the complex is being erected. The equipment in the rooms is more than adequate, functional but not yet "gemütlich". Carpets on the floor and pictures on the walls would give the rooms a less clinical feel. Why is the enormous TV located above the writing desk in the corner? Why is there no desk lamp? Eager, friendly and willing young staff are ready with advice, for example, on which lifts to use to find one's way out of the building. The location of the Capital Pearls is perfect for all who want to be close to the ocean in Umhlanga and yet also in the middle of the action for entertainment of an evening. Parking is free, covered and most convenient on the 4th floor, reception on the 5th, exit to the street on the 3rd. Now that we've orientated ourselves, we'd like to return.

Excellent location”
We loved the location of Capital Pearls. Tshidi and Muhammed on reception were very helpful in getting us in to one of our rooms quickly. As we had an event to attend that afternoon. The apartments are spacious, well appointed, very clean, with good in room wifi, cable tv and great air con. I’d like to make a special mention of Longe (Housekeeping), Ben (Porter) and Francois for always being ready to assist us. You all made it so easy for us to enjoy staying at Capital Pearls, we can see how hard you work and that you show great care for all of your guests! Thank you. We'll be back to stay again.

A really great holiday had at a the Capital Pearls. I’ve stayed at many hotels but these guys have got it right. The location is perfect, the view is amazing. The staff are friendly, the hotel and the rooms are spotless and clean. The pool is great. You get underground covered parking free. My wife got to use the gym free. There is nothing we needed or wanted that this hotel didn’t have. Really great hotel which I can highly recommend. Will be back for definite.

We spent an amazing weekend at The Capital Pearls. The room was perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Great views on the ocean which is a few footsteps away.

Wish we could have stayed longer...”
I can't say enough how much we loved this hotel. We only stayed a few nights but loved everything about it. The location was perfect! Everything we needed was in walking distance including the beach! We did not realize how much the property was going to have to offer...between so many restaurant choices, friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous rooms, walking distance to the beach, shopping and so much more all in one place...if we ever vacation in Durban again we won't even look to stay anywhere else. We were concerned when we booked it that the price was so reasonable and we are so pleased with our decision!

Everything was great. Really enjoyed staying at The Capital Pearls. R40 for an Appletiser at the hotel restaurant felt a bit exorbitant, but other than that, everything was perfect.

Great hotel ”
Pros: Breakfast was great lots of options and delicious Friendly staff and helpful Nice pool and deck Kids play area You can gym in the planet fitness which is cool. Best of both worlds: hotel and self catering in the same room Apartments are very luxurious, clean and spacious Every area has aircon SeaViews are breathtaking In the pearls mall can walk everywhere no need to use a car Highly recommended. Cons: The lifts are frustrating My room key card was Intermitted so I could not enter building only exit very annoying. Parking was very full not spaces Elevator to beach was broken had to use fire escape down 4 floors No room power when load shedding only common areas, sat in the dark for few hours Over priced rates I think could be cheaper to stay their was ZAR 7k a night

Upmarket , chic , modern with the X-Factor”
Wow, Capital Pearl's Hotel has all the Pizazz! I travelled with my sister who is on holiday here from Scotland. She was blown over with the choice of Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. However, the standing blue lamp didn't work very well as when you are on the 26th floor and you opened the patio door the wind blew it over! Perhaps a lamp fixture would work better.....Loved the heated pool too!

Very good”
They have a lot of student staff which were super efficient and friendly. However this cause inconsistency with food etc. ordering chicken nuggets for my child one day and they were proper nuggets but the next day it was crumbed pieces of chicken which he hated. Also found that the hotel has lost the hype of being the Capital Pearls. You can’t charge things to your room, room service was a joke; the food was always cold and to get condiments was too much of an ask from the hotel. It’s almost as if the hotel has its reputation of exclusivity which is sad

Good Location and Nice View. But not good for Vegetarian people”
If you are a vegetarian then u must not stay or should not take the breakfast as part of the room. This is because there is no vegetarian option in breakfast. Every time i visit i struggle. Strange being in Durban where there are lot of Indians they should have plenty of vegetarian options in the breakfast.

Excellent value for money and great hotel. ”
We had a great stay. We love the hotel. Even though we were initially concerned with other reviews. Ensure that when you book you book the actual hotel stay not owner operated apartment. Great food and service. Great rooms.

Great break away”
A beautifully situated hotel right on the beach. Rooms are decorated with care. Close to some great restaurants which are all within walking distance. We had two small service problems , one was waiting for pool towels and the other housekeeping took more than 2hours to deliver tea bags to our room. The staff were friendly and the views are beautiful.

Good Accomodation ”
The rooms were nice clean and spacious. The main Reception staff, however i felt dissapionted me. When I needed assitance with the kids activity Room the lady at Reception asked me to go in the direction o where there was no activity area or play area. i then spoke to the guy at Reception requesting the same, and he said that there was no play area, and ignored me after, and called a Manager to assist me, without me asking for one, and then the Duty Manager Francois, who was pleasant, appologised and showed me the way. They shoud actually be a sign on the door saying Kids Play area, as we guest dont know that their Saphire Room is a play area. Microwave was not working in my room, as well.
