Vineyard Hotel
The beautiful gardens are what really make this hotel special. The bedrooms are, however, rather tired and could do with a makeover. The spa is very nice and the treatments are of a very high standard.

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Very hard bed. Sent us to the wrong room the first time. Staff seemed bothered that I insisted on getting what I paid for. Also didn’t receive the free bottle of wine I was supposed to get. I was hoping Radisson only sucked in the U.S. but I guess it’s universal.
