Taj Cape Town
Everything was great- staff were welcoming and helpful. I like the location- close to the Company Gardens, museums and interesting neighborhoods, all within easy walking distance. One thing we didn’t know at first- if you want plain old brewed coffee, ask for a pot of filtered coffee 🙃

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport
The buffet breakfast was a true surprise. Equalled those we have enjoyed at luxury resorts. A very wide range of breakfast options with a person cooking to order as well as the buffet. The breakfast was included in our overnight package and definitely worth including.
