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 7 April 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. We are happy to note that your stay in the hotel was satisfactory and enjoyable in most aspects, except for our dinner availablity, and for any future visits can advise that our Deli offers a full a la carte menu in...
