One & Only Resort Hotel in Mauritius

Sarah Fox, South Africa

The One & Only Resort offers a very unique experience for Cape Town. The rooms in the Marina rise offer incredible views over the mountain and the Waterfront. The Island Rooms and Suites are all situated on an island in the Marina around the pool. They offer a feeling of being in a ‘resort’ in the middle of the city. The hotel is well situated within the V&A Waterfront and is a brilliant hotel for couples and families alike. The rooms themselves are very luxuriously appointed and the service is excellent.

Honeymoon to South Africa during September 2011

Dont know where to start! Location superb, a stroll from the V&A waterfront (if you like steak you must go to baltezar restaurant there). The facilities are amazing, the bar, Reubens for breakfast - and what a feast it is - best hotel breakfast we've ever had!! The Spa - oh my you must go to the spa. Its beautiful, so serene - and split into men's and women's - so its great for a bit of private time out. The staff are the nicest, friendliest people. There's lots of lovely touches like hot chocolate when you arrive, free nibbles at night, we we even got complimentary champagne and the room! The best view in capetown - looks right over Table Mt - you cant get better!

Without doubt one of the finest hotels we've ever stayed in. Huge bedroom with great amenities. It really was 5* in all aspects.

Family Holiday to South Africa during October 2010

The height of luxury and attentive service-perhaps a little impersonal after the previous places we had stayed Great pool to relax at and easy access to all the shops/restuarants

Holiday to South Africa during February 2011

South Africa Review

We have been to South Africa before in February/March when it is the depths of winter in the UK. Envigorating to get away from our dismal weather and the South Africans we have met have always made us welcome. Where we have been, we have alway felt safe although we have clearly avoided the townships...

Rated... 5stars
