Relaxed and Rejuvenated and I will be back!!
Pros:

Hi there,

I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Relax & Rejuvenate Mobile Physical Therapy, which is located on the 1st floor in Suite 5. I am a repeat customer, and for good reason. After my rotator cuff repair surgery and countless physio sessions, I still struggled with limited mobility in my arm. That’s when I turned to R&R founder, Faye. Her targeted massage therapy, combined with her “show, tell, practice” method of exercises, helped me regain strength and mobility. It wasn’t passive therapy, it was active rehabilitation, and it truly worked. Her encouragement and accountability made all the difference.

This past week, I booked a much-needed back massage at the beautiful Protea Hotel in Sea Point. The therapy room was warm, inviting, and perfectly calming, not overly stimulating. Once again, R&R exceeded expectations. The team was friendly, professional, and made me feel like royalty. My therapist, Talita, was a magician at her craft. She communicated thoughtfully in advance, asked about my surgery history, and during the session was completely in tune with my body, knowing exactly which areas needed extra care.

The pre-heated massage bed was a dream on a cold Cape Town winter’s morning, making stripping down effortless. For 75 minutes, I was immersed in pure relaxation and rejuvenation, wishing it would never end.

From rehabilitation to relaxation, R&R has been my go-to for healing and wellness. Without a doubt, I’ll be back again and again. Highly recommended!

The door of the bathroom fell twice on us which was very inconvenient. We left some 30 zar on the counter in our room which was gone when we came back from the mall. After the cleaning lady just cleaned our room.

Comfortable hotel, small rooms
Pros:

Protea Hotel Seapoint was built in 1961, renovated in 2013, and offers 124 rooms over 6 floors. At walking distance you have beach, chilly Ocean and the promenade. Furnishings and decoration provide a nice atmosphere. Service is friendly and helpful. Street parking is free and the hotel parking is charged. Our standard room had desk & chair, tea & Lavazza, airco & fridge, wardrobe & safe, a good kingsize bed and a small balcony. We had a small bathroom with washbasin, shower & toilet. All was very clean. A good buffet breakfast is served: eggs made to order, cold cuts & cheeses, breads & toast, cereals & fruits, milk & yoghurts, juices & preserves, rolls & croissants, tea & coffee. Protea Seapoint is a comfortable hotel and we had a good stay. Recommended.

It is what you expect from a Protea. Nothing less, nothing more.
Pros:

The room was very basic and not really spacious, but had all the basic things needed. The location is excellent and allows you to have many options within walking distance... beach boardwalk, restaurants, bars, etc.
Breakfast was just ok.

Cons:

The bathroom door was a sliding door with no sealing to the room.
The balcony, despite being theoretically a nice thing, had nothing, so it became basically useless - except to go outside and take a picture. It would be nice to have at least a chair and a small table so sit outside and enjoy the weather.
