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.

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.

This was my first time to the Capital Pearl It was a birthday present for my wife She enjoyed every bit of our stay Looking forward for my next stay
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.

Stayed at the Pearls for 5 nights last month. Great location, some good restaurants within walking distance. Smart hotel and above all very helpful nd efficient staff at the front desk namely mbogeni( concierge) and nosipho.
Excellent service, top class treatment, enjoyed the stay”
The view was awesome, luxury studio had everything we needed. No issue with dstv but should of had more open channels...just a suggestion. Overall I would recommend Capital Pearl's to just about everyone :-)
Pearls Luxury”

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.
Very good”
I was a bit disappointed with the view from our room. I booked a Superior studio for the sole reason of having a sea view but when I got to the hotel, the reception told me that we had a 2 bedroom apartment with a partial sea view. I appreciate the upgrade but did not get what I requested. Further to that I had requested a room on the higher floors when I did my booking but got a room on the 6th floor which is actually the 2nd floor of the hotel. The facilities at the hotel are great and so is the location just disappointed with the room.
Fine Hotel”
Given the hotel opened recently, the facilities were fantastic. A few issues with fittings not being done correctly ie shower rail was not affixed correctly, but the unit was large and had a great view.
Dear Kent, Thank you for the feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed your time with us. Please do come again soon to experience our excellent guest service now that we have gotten over our opening gitters:). Kind Regards, Tarryn Guest Relations Manager

Our room was a decent size, clean and well furnished. The kitchen was well stocked. Nice big shower. The location is very good and it is an easy walk to the restaurants, WW or Pick n Pay. Safe area. I would definitely stay again.
