KLM fed me some poisoned breakfast on the 2nd leg of a 3-legged dog, 32 hour journey here, leaving me vomiting from both ends on the flight from AMS to CPT. This gave me the perfect excuse to do what I came here to do - absolutely nothing. I'm going into day 3 of a 4 day stay and have only left the hotel once to get anti-acid from the store down the street. I just wanted to come here to say I went to Africa. I dont want to annoy a lion or try to bury some white guilt in visiting Nelson Mandela's...

The Marly Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Exceptional

My teenage daughter and I recently stayed at The Marly. The hotel was perfect in every way. Great location and very safe. Attached to amazing restaurants and across the street from a gorgeous beach. Even saw whales swim in the bay. Very easy to get to cable mountain. The staff was very friendly so helpful in every way. From arranging packages to be sent home to dropping off something for me at the rental car company. Perfectly safe location and easy access to everything. 5 star all the way.

recently had the pleasure of staying at The Clarendon hotel, and I can confidently say that it was a truly exceptional experience.

They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent recommendations for...

Unreal! We booked the presidential suite during our very first stay in Cape Town, it was an unbelievable introduction to South Africa. Where do I begin. It was primarily for a birthday celebration and so the accommodation worked well. The hotel is central to Cape Town, with clear views of Table mountain. Literally, the hotel was walking distance from many restaurants. There was a brand new trendy noodle Asian fusion restaurant literally right by the entrance to the hotel which we indulged in....
