Our room was large and beautiful with a gorgeous view of Table Mountain. Breakfast was incredible and the food at the two restaurants was great. Top to bottom the staff was helpful and friendly.

Did not get the category of room we paid for. Staff were arrogant about dealing with the issue. Would not recommend this property.
