Sanctuary in a mad world at a mad bad time
Pros:

Clean beaches, within mins walking distance.
Had a lovely afternoon close by at Hops, watched men's semifinals at wimbledon, had a lovely time.

Cons:

I returned to Hops on the Sunday, to be disappointed however, The Black Marlin, close to apartment, provided me w8th delicious dinner, and the opportunity to watch men's finals wimbledon another gr8 unique experience.
The apartment is ideally situated for walking activities, time by the clean uncrowded beaches. That may change during school holidays.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. As someone who travels a lot I have stayed in better places for less
Pros:

The property is spacious

Cons:

My experience was disappointing for several reasons:

1. The reception is quite far from the accommodation, and you have to climb a long flight of stairs to get there.
2. Guests are required to pay a refundable R1,000 deposit, but this was not mentioned in the property's policies before booking. While I understand it's refundable, not every guest may have an extra R1,000 available on arrival.
3. The staff were not welcoming or particularly friendly.
4. The property is constantly noisy, with children screaming throughout the day, making it difficult to rest. When I reported the noise, I was told it was "still early," which wasn't a helpful response.
5. The bathroom was not clean. I found hair in it, and there wasn't even a shelf to place soap or toiletries.
6. The contact number provided for assistance was not answered when I called.
7. There was no complimentary soap provided in the bathroom.
8. The shower curtain was absolutely disgusting and clearly needed to be cleaned or replaced.

Would not recommend
Cons:

First our room was double booked, moved us to a smaller room. We requested a smoking room and did not get one. The window in the room was broken and banging shut the whole night, called reception and they said they would send someone to come take a look but never did. So we had to listen to the window banging shut the whole night, and to make it worse they have a night club right next door that was playing loud music until 5am. We couldn't shut the window to drown out the noise! And one other thing they don't tell you is that after the booking is made and paid for they require an additional R1000 as a breakage deposit
