## Our read

This is the uMhlanga hotel five minutes from the sand, not the one on Lagoon Drive. Come if the heated pool and the children's pool are the afternoon. Skip it if you wanted a kitchen on the beach.

## Come here for

- Aurora and Centenary, five minutes from the beach
- A heated pool and a children's pool
- Mnandi, and eight venues for up to 150 people

## Skip it if

- You wanted Cabana Beach or uMhlanga Sands, both on Lagoon Drive and on the sand.
