Taj Cape Town
Taj Group is always excellent!! All the staff couldn’t do enough to help!! The chefs help prepare meals off the menu fitting all the dietary needs we had for the group. Breakfast is amazing with a great choice of Indian and other parts of the world. Location is good too, a short uber to the waterfront ...
