"The view, the space, clean rooms"

"Wonderful location right on beach with awesome views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean - get a seaside view room if possible. Rooms were clean but could use some touchup, wall air conditioners (we kept the 2 sliding glass doors open to cool down the room - it can get very windy since you are on the ocean. Outstanding staff behind the front desk, the room cleaning staff, and the restaurant staff - also, purchase the buffet breakfast as part of your total coast - it’s so good! While our queen sized bed sagged in the middle, I’m confident that the staff will replace it. The hotel is 12 km from the City Center and the V&A Waterfront, in Bloubergstrand, an area that is really growing. Plenty of restaurants, free parking, uncrowded beach - though in summer there are lots of paragliders on beach & n the water - lessons are available onsite if needed. If you are ok with driving, go ahead & rent a car at the Airport (roughly a 20 minute drive). The traffic is awful during rush hour, so avoid am & pm rush hours! Recommend take guided tours if possible - many can pick you up at the hotel. Dolphin Beach Hotel also has a truly awesome van driver in Rafi - what a super guy, and makes himself available if you need to get somewhere. Kudos to Thandie, who I communicated with over six months ago when I had a million questions, and had confusion over the hotel payment. She was very patient with me throughout the process. The dollar was at a good exchange rate with Rand."

"Location, location !!!!! right on the beach, great staff, great view of the sea and Table Mountain"

"Room was spotless. Bed soooooo comfy and ALL the staff were happy and friendly. We stayed same time last year and we were remembered, even by the ladies at breakfast making eggs and the most delicious omelettes. Plus the view is outstanding . Easy enough to get into Cape Town. "

"The apartment is very nice but the kitchen is poorly stocked. There water to the master bathroom sinks had just a trickle. I asked to have if repaired but it wasn’t. It would have been nice to have a few basics like salt and pepper. "

"Excellent all over"
