Location

If you're looking for a beachfront paradise to stay in Durban, look no further than First Group La Montagne! Guests have raved about the hotel's amazing location with easy access to the beach just steps away. The pool area, complete with a large deck and ocean and beach views, is undoubtedly a highlight of the location. You can enjoy the morning breeze and the sea aroma, adding to the calming atmosphere. The hotel's amazing views of the beach make it a beautiful place to stay with an ocean view from most rooms and the sunset is spectacular to watch. The proximity to the main beach is perfect, making it a great spot to enjoy the views. The hotel's location is convenient for those looking to explore nearby restaurants and attractions since it is walking distance to the beach and other hotspots. The staff is friendly and accommodating and with gate access to the beach, it's easy to spend a day lounging by the water. The hotel is connected to the beach, making it easy to take strolls on the lovely boardwalk. While the gate access to the beach didn't work, the overall location of the beachfront resort was still amazing.

Breakfast

Guests who stayed at First Group La Montagne have varied opinions about the breakfast at the hotel. Some guests found the breakfast to be exceptional, very tasty and delicious. Others felt that the breakfast was fine, but some improvements could be made, such as adding more options to the breakfast menu. The breakfast was not buffet-style, which was not stated during booking and this caused some problems for vegetarian guests, as everything on the menu had eggs. Some guests had issues with the service, such as forgetting the sugar or not advising that breakfast was limited to R240 per sitting. There were also complaints about the quality of the breakfast, such as hard toast and no milk for coffee. Overall, it seems that some guests enjoyed the breakfast, while others felt there was room for improvement. A breakfast buffet would be a welcome addition to the hotel.
