The room was very nice and reception staff extremely friendly and helpful. The buildings seem to be a mix of hotel and residential and are quite spaced out. The pool looked quite inviting but there were no facilities such as toilets or changing area at the pool itself. We had a drink and snack at the bar, and enjoyed breakfast in the cafe, both were nice but the outside area here could have benefited from a jet wash. The location of the hotel felt a little remote although we were able to walk, in daylight, to the waterfront (around 25 minutes). For all the above reasons, and because the rate seemed really quite expensive for Capetown, I can only give a four star rating despite the nice room.
