I cannot begin to describe the wonderful time I have had at the Coral Tree Restaurant. As part of my holiday at Zimbali Coastal Resort, I attended the Buffet breakfast with my partner. The view of the ocean and overlooking the stunning pool relaxed my mind and calmed my soul. The staff are willing to go over and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. The food was to die for 😍I love the chef stations, them preparing fresh breakfast items like pancakes. Overall this was a world class experience, just a stone throw away from home. I would recommend this stunning restaurant to anyone I meet

The Restaurant Woow is soo Beautiful, Classy with an amazing View of the Fairmont Zimbali Resort. We had a nice Buffet Breakfast every morning on our stay with the resort. The food was amazing, Tasty & filling. I enjoyed having breakfast there with a perfect view. I am definitely coming back to Fairmont Zimbali. I miss being at Coral Tree and have that out of this world experience

I phoned this restaurant to enquire about menu options available on a Saturday night as I was brining guests who have specific tastes & preferences. I was told there was an a la carte menu and a buffet theme 'Indian Delights' for R195 per person, with 20% discount for Zimbali residents. On arrival out waiter said that a la carte was not available so we had no option but to have the buffet which was breathtakingly below mediocre. The selection of 3 limp salads and mushy samosa starters were easy to ignore. The main course offerings of barely lukewarm curried (1 lamb, 1 fish, 2 chicken) were congealed and barely recognisable. The rice was cold and the warming plate below it was not even switched on. The roti and naan were not heated and set on a plate on the buffet counter. When we called for the bill at the end of this dismal meal, we were charged R275 per person & told that the Zimbali resident discount had been discontinued. To avoid embarrassing our guests we addressed this with the F&B manager the next day who gave us a shrug and told us that everything had changed 6 months ago and the person I had booked through was uninformed, and if we had come on Friday night the buffet was even more expensive. There are many restaurants around Ballito that offer far better quality food and service for MUCH lower prices so look around before you book
