The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Couples' Experience

We indulged in the couples suite at the OoSpa, and I can't recommend it enough! The private bathroom and jacuzzi made for an intimate and relaxing experience. Plus, the R350 credit for food and drinks during lunch meant we enjoyed an impressive amount of delicious food. It was just amazing!

Very nice Dining Experience

I had the most amazing high tea at the Vista bar. The service was perfect, and the selection of savory snacks and sweet treats was good. The chicken pies were very nice, and I loved the buffet of desserts, particularly the macarons and eclairs. It was an indulgent experience I won’t soon forget!

Luxurious Room Amenities

The room was beautiful with an amazing soaking tub, and I loved the spacious layout. The comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities, like the fresh fruit and mini bar, made it feel exceptionally lavish. It was truly a relaxing sanctuary to return to after exploring the city.

Excellent Gym Facilities

The hotel gym was great! It featured a wide range of equipment that I hadn't seen before in other hotels, including multiple machines for a full-body workout. The trainer, David, was always friendly and helpful, making my workout sessions much more enjoyable.

My experience at the One & Only Cape Town was a mix of luxury and some minor inconveniences. The gym was a standout feature and the breakfast was out of this world. However, I did find the Wi-Fi slow and the bathroom design a bit odd. Overall, it was a lovely stay, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

My stay at the resort was truly magical, filled with tranquility and exceptional service. The spa was an absolute highlight, providing a blissful experience that far exceeded my expectations.

The One & Only is an exceptional place for a getaway, particularly for families. Its stunning location near the waterfront was perfect for exploring, and the rooms were luxurious, especially the ones with breathtaking views. However, there were some issues during our weekend stay, such as the pool area getting overly crowded and the absence of a dedicated children's pool. Overall, it was still a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it.
