I had a wonderful stay at The Westin Cape Town, with a mix of excellent service and comfortable accommodations. The staff stood out with their friendliness and eagerness to help, making every interaction pleasant (it felt like I was welcomed back each time!).

Facilities like the gym were impressive-well maintained and equipped. The sauna and pool also offered a nice touch of relaxation. However, I think the shuttle service back from the waterfront could benefit from a more organized system to prevent overcrowding.
