Ocean View House
Such a serene place to stay overlooking the ocean with multiple pools. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Israel, who went above and beyond to check in on us. It was a great way to start our visit to South Africa.

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Very hard bed. Sent us to the wrong room the first time. Staff seemed bothered that I insisted on getting what I paid for. Also didn’t receive the free bottle of wine I was supposed to get. I was hoping Radisson only sucked in the U.S. but I guess it’s universal.
