We stayed at the Pearls for one night but it was great. We needed to do some washing and were able to wash and dry before leaving. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went to the beach in the morning for a run along the promenade - only challenge was getting there as the Pearls didn't seem to have direct beach front access but we navigated the mall and made our way down. The Pearls are right by the Oceans mall, Umhlanga rocks and many superb restaurants and supermarkets. It's a great stay in the heart of Umhlanga and you can walk to the Whale Bone pier too.
