Jackie at the spa was absolutely wonderful. One of the best spas in the world! Highly recommend. The stream shower is like heaven. Had a back neck and scalp massage, perfect pressure - lovely ritual at the start. Thank you for a lovely time.

Visited Durban with my family and was picked up from the airport in a luxury vehicle and was even provided with a baby seat, how accommodating! Was given a curtsey call by the operations team which was so thoughtful. Did tours over few days in Durban and we really had a great time and the driver was so informative and helpful.Absolutely great service! We felt really safe and secure with UCABS. Really reasonable and affordable prices. Keep up the excellent work! May you guys really prosper.

I was looking for new experiences while being in a new place for a few months. I thought yoga could be interesting to try and so I searched for a nearby studio. Gurucat was the first studio I came across and with reasonable rates so I gave my first class a try and loved it. The energy of each class is amazing and as a beginner, I felt so comfortable from my very first class. Would definitely go back there for classes when I am ever to find myself in Umhlanga again!

Wow, Wow, Wow! I have been blown away by the flavours, hospitality & experience! My fiance decided to treat me to this amazing experience for my birthday, we had run into some trouble with regards to the printing of the tickets at Computicket. We literally went to two Checkers, one Shoprite & House & Home but the system was offline, luckily we booked our tickets online it was just the printing of the tickets left to do. We panicked because it was late afternoon, we contacted the The Beverly Hills Hotel & reception kindly gave us Pauls email to contact to resolve our printing mission. I then emailed Paul at 13:44PM, he responded at 13:49PM advising that he has received our booking and we can just enter with our confirmation email. Literally 5 minutes!!! How amazing and efficient is that?! We had arrived and we were seated by the poolside overlooking the ocean with a welcome drink, covid regulation were adhered to with sanitizers around and readily available. The staff were so accommodating & friendly, Big shout out to LLoyd for being such a superstar of a host! The 6 course experience with complimentary tea/coffee was truly surreal, the staff dressed up for each and every course as we were transported to different destinations to experience their authenticity. The food was way over the normal 5 star rating and the portions were so good, i left feeling super full & satisfied. In between courses we had a little comfort break where we could stretch our legs and use the bathroom while this allowed the team to sanitize the room we were seated in, there was also a chair space between each individual to allow social distancing and no transmission of Corona while my partner was seated directly across me. I was also treated to a little birthday dedication with a whole cool song and a huge slice of strawberry cheesecake with a personalized happy birthday. This was truly such a treat and the extra mile and effort that was taken is truly appreciated. The technical aspects of Le Petite & his funny yet entertaining journey we were brought on was exceptional and super intriguing! I would highly recommend that this experience is a must! It cannot properly be explained in words, the technical aspects, the timing, the food, the service are all exceptional and mind blowing! Well done Paul, LLoyd & team
