Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! by Marriott Durban Umhlanga Ridge

10/10 Excellent
"**“I had an amazing stay — what really stood out was the warmth and professionalism of the staff. The team made everything feel effortless and welcoming. My room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was modern, vibrant, and really thoughtfully designed. It’s the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression and gets you thinking about how hospitality can feel both personal and elevated at the same time. I definitely look forward to coming back and exploring more of what the hotel offers.”**"
