Best features of this hotel were the restaurant ("The Sands" I think) and the views. Our dinner meal at the restaurant was top notch, with excellent seafood and service. Views from the hotel, including the restaurant, were memorable and impressive. We visited the spa next door which was surprisingly small. Apart from excellent service at the restaurant, overall hotel service/attentiveness... More

We enjoyed a very pleasant week end in this hotel. the location and views are stunning, overlooking the bay. The room was pleasant, clean and well laid out.

All the staff were friendly... More

We had a noisy room overlooking the entrance and parking and the service was always short. We've had the privilege of staying in some lovely hotels during our stay in SA,... More

Brilliant views, excellent service, lovely rooms and tempting cocktail list at the stylish bar. The restaurant is great and service is attentive - the food is probably a little too heavy/rich to want to eat here more than once but is excellent nonetheless. More
