    Not really anything to comment here....

    The view! We had an executive room with a fantastic sea view and enough space. Service is excellent and the whole staff very warm heartedly welcome us. Breakfast is delicious!

    Nothing - absolutely perfect.

    We had a beautifully appointed room with stunning views across the bay. Warm, friendly and attentive service from everyone. I must say the dressing gowns were so luxurious , the nicest I’ve ever had in a hotel. Lovely turndown service with hot water bottles and chocolate. A wonderful stay.

    An exceptional stay — clean, comfortable, great location, and outstanding staff. I only wished for more variety in the food.

    My stay at this hotel was exceptional! ✨ The hotel is very clean, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The facilities are great and provide everything a guest might need. The location is excellent and close to important places. The staff are professional, friendly, and always welcoming. Honestly, it was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and I highly recommend it.

    What treat - the best wedding anniversary weekend ever!
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The only little thing would possibly be an extractor fan in the bathroom? Just for the very cold nights. Oh, and the fact that we had to leave!!!!!

    The breakfasts were amazing. What a fabulous spread - wish we could have stayed longer ... and the cooked breakfasts were so well-presented. Loved the bloody Mary station and the Mimosas. We had dinner at Amelia's - superb! Had the cheese souffle - out of this world! The bobotie was really good, too and the portions were really generous. Good value for money! And our room was kept spotless. Such a treat to be spoilt with the complimentary Jakkalsvlei Pinotage and Pierre Jordaan Brut. The location and views are top notch, and we really enjoyed the heated pool... even though the weather was cooler. Even used the gym facilities - more than adequate. Loved the lounging areas, well -appointed and the decor was absolutely unique. Even managed to do some crocheting! A beautiful collaboration of art pieces and decor. To be honest, we have never stayed in accommodation like this, where such attention to luxury and delicious food is the norm. We were totally spoilt. Best and most memorable wedding anniversary getaway for us!

    This hotel is spectacular. Incredible 5* star property, with high end interiors and location. The staff were also exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location and view are incredible. It’s very simple to walk to the shops (during the day) or the beach. The hotel is so well equipped with multiple pools, a small gym, bar, restaurant and terrace. It’s incredibly stylish interior. Our room was so good, with a very large bathroom, walk in wardrobe and sofa in the bedroom. The staff were so helpful, at meal time and with advice for activities to do. We are in the restaurant for dinner twice, and all the dishes were good, particularly the steak. Breakfast was also good, with a large buffet and an a la carte menu of cooked options. We also used the spa for a 90 min couples massage that was very very good.
