de la classe mais pêche dans les détails
Pros:

le cadre ,le jardin botannique

Cons:

pas de liseuse à la tête du lit, impossibilité de faire l'obscurité dans la chambre, la nuit, pas de rideaux d'occultation mais une dizaine de persiennes qui laissent passer la lumiere exterieure en permanence sur les façades; ce qui est regrettable pour un établissement de ce standing.j'ai du dormir avec un masque sur les yeux.

Pros:

We loved our stay here. The grounds were fantastically large and pleasurable for our lively 7 year old - this is very hard to find in central CT and the Atlantic Seaboard. We loved the hanging bridge over the ravine. The gardens have a gate onto the main Camps Bay drag and the restaurants are walking distance. The room was spacious and the wood-fired hot tub was good fun. The kitchen of Bella Restaurant makes lovely fresh tasty food, and it was convenient to have in-house dining, especially with a young child. The room was warm and comfortable; the main building is a beauty from the 1920s or 30s. It is not a perfect generic experience, as you may find in some big branded hotel. It is characterful and enjoyable and peaceful and very unusual for a central CT location. The service, albeit friendly, is occasionally not as efficient as it could be but the warm welcome makes up for that. Our go-to in CT in future. (They even had a charger on the grounds for our electric vehicle!)

Einfach ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels, der Blick auf das Meer vor Camps Bay und die Atmosphäre des Hotels sind aus unserer Sicht nich zu schlagen. Hier kann man außerordentlich niveauvoll wohnen. Wir waren jetzt schon zum vierten Mal im Camps Bay Retreat und sind immer nochmal begeistert. Man hat den Eindruck dass nochmals eine Steigerung zu früher erfolgt ist. Hier gibt es wirklich nichts zu beanstanden.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts was man hier beanstanden könnte.

It is a relaxing retreat with amazing staff to welcome you!
Pros:

The main building is an interesting historical building that has been well-maintained with lairs of character. The rest of the facility is modern, so you get the best of both.

Cons:

It was far from the downtown waterfront area. About a 20min drive (but uber is easily accessible).

A really wonderful stay in a very special place. A beautiful oasis close to the city- thank you
Pros:

I loved everything about camps bay retreat hotel. The minute we arrived we were warmly greeted and handed a welcome drink. The staff were really attentive and made our stay feel very special. The Manor House is lovely with stunning views from the terrace overlooking the gardens and the sea. You instantly feel calm and relaxed. The food was also really lovely and again the service was superb. We had a three bedroom apartment which was lovely a clean with our own hot tub and patio overlooking the sea. The layout of the hotel is really characterful with a drawbridge and walks down to the natural pool. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation and have been recommending it to lots of people since. The padel court was a brilliant bonus for our 14 and 9 year old. We have stayed in lots of places worldwide and the team here have really created something very unique and special.

Cons:

Nothing
