“Perfect location and lovely hotel”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

We stayed at The Bay for one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We asked the hotel to make a booking for us at a local restaurant, and without us knowing they informed the restaurant of our anniversary which was a lovely touch. The hotel offers a transfer service with their hotel cars... More

I went with my friend to the Sandy B cocktail bar at the hotel. The staff were fabulous and allowed us to sit at the VIP members only lookout deck. The sea view was beautiful, the lavender Moquitoes were delicious and the weather was every bit as good as summer. I can see why a certain local celebrity describes the... More

“Perfect location”

Having stayed at the Bay for my 6th time, I was left wondering what has changed at the hotel. The views are incredible, the rooms are still stunning (although a new shower would be good as it still only chest high) and some of the staff are still there from years gone by. I guess it is all in the... More

“Camil and The Traders Bar steal the show.”

Reviewed April 7, 2013

Enviable position directly across the road from Camps Bay beach with magnificent views of the 12 apostles. Modern hotel with some good amenities but badly let down by no quality restaurant for evening meal. The hotel is rescued by a superb bar - Traders- and its formidable bartender Camil.

Dear PelePurves. Many thanks for your wonderful remarks about the hotel and Traders, which we have passed onto Caamil.
