I stayed at the One & Only on the first leg of my South African honeymoon and it was the perfect way to kick off the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were updated to a suite and greeted with a bottle of local wine upon our arrival and chilled champagne on our first night. The... More

Me and my partner stayed at the one and only for our honeymoon. We have never stayed in such luxury before. Many thanks to the tour agency that booked it for us and it certainly was a surprise (we just didn't have the time to even look at the details of our honeymoon accomodation). Everything from being collected at the... More

From the moment we checked in at the One&Only Cape Town we were treated like royalty. Attention to details in the kids room with small robes and shampoos. The staff was really exceptional especially the breakfast staff, hot-chocolates as they walked in, they thought they were in heaven. The food in the main resturaunt for 1 dinner was excellent. The...

This is the greatest hotel we have stayed in South Africa. From the moment you turn your Vehicle onto their driveway and approach the entrance you are escorted by friendly staff to do your registration.After registration you are taken on a tour to familirise you with all the facilities.Great room, extremely luxcurious.Reuben's Restaurant however dissapointing.

Right by the V&A in Cape Town this is a resort hotel within a city. When it is warm enough to swim (kids have a slightly different definition of this to me) it has a great pool. Service is normally really good. Slightly bizarre situation on one stay when husband got locked inside room one night and I was locked... More

We only stayed one night at The One and Only, but from the second we walked in we were treated like royalty, even in our ripped jeans&flip flops :) We had a double queen room on the island and it was huge. We took the kids to the kids club and went for a walk. When we came back the... More

I had amazing time in this hotel. It's next to marina so we had great choice of restaurants , Aquarium is next door and 1st stop of City Sightseeing Tour is 3 min walk. SPA is fabulous - I love ESPA and they use their products. Also my massage was excellent. I was amazed to find out that they built... More

Having stayed mostly at guest houses in Cape Town over the years, I wanted to try something different and opted for the One and Only. It was just ok, at a stretch. The location frankly did not suit me, as I don't care for the wharf area and it is really in no mans land, relatively isolated from everything, certainly... More

Today was my 3rd visit to the One&Only. I have held off doing a tripadvisor as I felt sorry for them in this tough economic climate. But I cant hold off anymore in expressing my disappointment in the poor service, poor quality of food and complete lack of management. After all I am paying my hard-earned money for a service...
