10/10 Exceptional

We were spoiled by the views from our room and the staff at the hotel. We had a panorama view from our room and it was simply stunning. The staff went out of their way to care for us, bringing food to the room when I wasn't feeling well and constantly checking on us. They helped us make dinner reservations and give us recommendations for activities. Wilson at the bar was a true delight and brought us a lot of joy on our trip. The sunsets were gorgeous from our room, we saw whales of the coast, and we loved the beaches here and the walk to Camps Bay was beyond stunning. Will think of this place often!
