The Protea Hotel by Marriott in Umhlanga Ridge is well-located, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and a large shopping mall within walking distance. Since there’s no public transport, a rental car is essential. The hotel has 205 rooms, including suites. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, with staff showing genuine interest in our trip and making us feel at home. Check-out was quick and efficient, and the front desk staff consistently offered friendly and helpful service. Bell boys were outstanding, always ready to assist. The junior suite was fantastic, featuring two levels. The lower floor had a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a cozy living room with modern, surfing-themed decor. The upper floor included a king-size bed, walk-in closet, desk, and a master bathroom. The suite was bright and welcoming, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a homey atmosphere. Note: street-facing rooms can be noisy, so request a courtyard-facing room for more quiet. F&B: The bar had a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a well-stocked menu. Breakfast on the first floor was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented, with eggs cooked to order. Dinner at the ground-floor restaurant was equally impressive, with delicious dishes and excellent service. The new executive chef has significantly elevated the dining experience. The pool is small but sufficient for a city hotel, with ample seating around it. The rooftop deck now hosts yoga sessions, replacing the previous small pool. The gym is compact but equipped with quality machines. This was another wonderful stay at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Umhlanga Ridge. The modern design, attentive staff, and exceptional service across all areas make this property a top choice. Overall experience is fantastic, and we look forward to returning. Highly recommended!

“Will be back, great service, best sleep in beautiful soft white bedding, peaceful, safe and clean room”

After a terrible stay at a hotel down the road we called Protea Fire&Ice Umhlanga in the middle of the night and asked to check-in. The receptionist we dealt with was named Life- he was amazing! So caring and understanding. We were so thankful to move to Fire&Ice Hotel for the remainder of our stay… more

After a terrible stay at a hotel down the road we called Protea Fire&Ice Umhlanga in the middle of the night and asked to check-in. The receptionist we dealt with was named Life- he was amazing! So caring and understanding. We were so thankful to move to Fire&Ice Hotel for the remainder of our stay. The rooms felt safe, clean and peaceful. The bedding was perfect, the bathroom so clean and well kept and the staff very helpful. I ordered ubereats for supper and the staff heated our food and brought it to our room. I will certainly stay here again!
