Amazing place for kids

The stay was amazing for the kids as there were a lot of activities all day long. I think they need to do updates on the units as they are dated.

Staff were very friendly but the food needs major help. Prices don't match quality or quantity. Felt like dinner was a frozen reheated meal.

natal spa. need improvement

I found the resort to be very unorganised. From the delay at check in. To rooms not being made up timeously. The food was definitely substandard and need improvement. They could not cope with the busy period. Linen not available timeously. Pool towels not available

Upgrade desperately needed!

Facilities are not maintained and in desperate need of a make-over! Breakfast buffet was good and a highlight, but the rest a major disappointment. The Spa area was dirty and old, the hotel building is not maintained and except for the breakfast buffet, the other meals offered were a major disappointment.

Halfway Stop Durban - Kruger National Park

I used this as a halfway stop from Durban to Kruger National Park (Skukuza). 4hrs from Durban (non stop). 5hrs to Skukuza (Non Stop). Overall it has dated or old feel. In saying that the place is well kept. My room was clean. The bathroom was clean, not modern, telephone cord shower with no shower curtain for the tub. Make sure to get here with some time to enjoy the hot pools. Good facilities for children, putt putt, water slides, pools, etc. Excellent buffet breakfast

Gooderson Natal Spa... very disappointing.

Although we requested well in advance, our Vegetarian needs were not met. The room cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I was bitten by bugs in the room. Evidence shown to Mrs Muller. We took the time before departure to share our concerns /constructive feedback with Mrs Muller ( Resort Manager)who promised to give us email feedback however a month later, this has not been received. Cannot help but wonder if this is the standard of customer service at All Gooderson Resorts??? We and all our friends /family will not stay at your Resorts.

Rooms Needs some attention & fumigation.

The facilities was great, however the room needs to be vacuumed & sprayed. Something had bitten my entire family. Also noticed that the beds were not dusted on the 2nd night as there was chips in the bed that my kids dropped from the previous night. That tells you a lot. The service from the staff at the restaurant sucked. From breakfast to Bistro. It was very bad. To wait for eggs, you literally wait 20 minutes, that is madness. The Bistro was the same, no servietes given sauces, and when you ask for something they just make their faces funny. The service at the pool bar was excellent.

Great location accomodation can improve

Reception staff were very helpful and friendly with accommodating us with our son in a wheel chair. Breakfast and dinner was good. Self catering room was a bit old and needs to be upgraded. Bathroom not good standard.
