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.
