“Cabana Beach Resort, favored by families since the late '70s, emphasizes spacious semi self-catering apartments and direct beach access. While some areas show their age, the location on Umhlanga's Ken o' Connor Promenade provides easy access to beaches, restaurants, and shops-a definite plus for those preferring to explore the area on foot. The resort's dedication to family entertainment, including multiple kids' programs and pools, remains a core strength.”
