Gourmet Breakfast Experience

Each morning, we enjoyed a private chef-prepared breakfast in our suite that catered to our kosher dietary needs. Chef Juan Lucas and his team were really good, providing delicious gourmet options that exceeded our expectations. This made breakfast time a luxury experience.

My experience at the One & Only Cape Town was a mix of luxury and some minor inconveniences. The gym was a standout feature and the breakfast was out of this world. However, I did find the Wi-Fi slow and the bathroom design a bit odd. Overall, it was a lovely stay, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

The One & Only is an exceptional place for a getaway, particularly for families. Its stunning location near the waterfront was perfect for exploring, and the rooms were luxurious, especially the ones with breathtaking views. However, there were some issues during our weekend stay, such as the pool area getting overly crowded and the absence of a dedicated children's pool. Overall, it was still a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it.
