POD Camps Bay is nice slice of luxury just off the beaten path. The area is very alive with things to do, shops and restaurants of all types. The property sits just across the street from the beach. The staff are very accommodating and go out of their way to make sure that your stay is magnificent. Our reservation included breakfast which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back!

Although the property is very attractive and stylish, the most exceptional part of our stay was the incredible staff and service. The genuinely friendly, highly personalized service and thoughtful offerings put most 5-star hotels to shame.
