Our stay at 3 on Camps Bay was fantastic! The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the beach, and the views from our room were breathtaking. The facilities were lovely, especially the pool area for relaxing. However, climbing to the top floor without a lift was a bit challenging, and while everything else was top-notch, I would have preferred a few more breakfast options.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel, especially for our ladies weekend getaway. The accommodation was superb, with a beautiful terrace and pool area that set the perfect ambiance. While the breakfasts were excellent and catered to all dietary needs, my initial room was a bit small and not as refreshing as desired, though the upgrade to a luxury suite truly made the experience fabulous. Overall, I highly recommend it for its charm and great service.
