I upgraded to a pool facing suite. The room was clean, modern, and the staff was quite friendly. The gym is very well equiped.
Downside was the wind in the pool area. Also, you have to pay for wireless access and the service was intermittent. When I tried to checkout early they asked me to pay for the full reservation, even though I was staying at the standard rack rate and cancelled before 9am on the same day. Finally, the manager approved the checkout and I did not have to pay the remaining days.
Note that they have a five day stay equals one night free program. This helps if you are going for a holiday.
The location was nice for Gordon's Bay, but if it is your first time in Cape Town for a holiday I would recommend Camps Bay. It is much closer to downtown, hip, and more fun.
