(My Arrival – A Whirlwind of Wonder (and Minor Confusion))
Right, so I arrived in Cape Town, jet-lagged and craving a decent cuppa. Now, the airport transfer was smooth as silk – a godsend after a long flight. Quick, efficient, no faffing. Bonus points! Getting to the hotel, I was immediately hit by the VIEWS. Okay, so the "unforgettable views" part isn't an exaggeration. The hotel itself… well, let's say the entrance is posh, but nothing too overwhelming. It was easy to get to which is critical because of the accessibility. They have elevator access and they have wheelchair accessible rooms, so its great.
The check-in/out [express] and check-in/out [private] options are a lifesaver, especially when you are tired after a long day of traveling! I even managed to get some currency exchange done without too much hassle.
The Suite: My Kingdom for a Day (and Night!)
Holy moly. Let me paint a picture. Walk in, and BAM – breathtaking view. The private terrace is HUGE. Like, ridiculously huge. You can probably host a small wedding on that thing. The suite itself? Seriously plush. The air conditioning was a welcome relief from the Cape Town heat, trust me. Everything was spotless, thanks to the diligent daily housekeeping. The Internet access – wireless was fantastic, but what made me happier was the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms.
Now, let's talk details. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? DOUBLE check. Sleep like a baby. Bathrobes? Yes, and wonderfully fluffy ones. Bathtub? Huge! (Important for dramatic bubble bath moments, obviously.) The coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver, considering my previous craving. Desk, laptop workspace, ironing facilities, mirror - all there. Not a single detail overlooked. The Internet access – LAN was helpful as well.
Dining, Drinking, and General Merriment
Okay, so the suite has its own mini bar stocked with goodies. And the bottle of water was appreciated. They also offered breakfast in the room, which was a win. There's obviously room service [24-hour]. I was also offered A la carte in restaurant and other options like breakfast [buffet] or breakfast service. The restaurant itself looked good, with Asian cuisine in restaurant, international cuisine in restaurant, salad in restaurant, soup in restaurant, vegetarian restaurant, and all the rest.
I was happy with how amazing the poolside bar, coffee shop, and snack bar were, I can't wait to try them out.
The Spa: Where My Stress Melted Away (and maybe so did my wallet – worth it!)
Okay, this is where things got REALLY good. I'm talking full-on pampering central. The spa/sauna was exquisite, a blissful haven of tranquility. The massage was heavenly. I think I actually drooled. The body scrub and body wrap? Pure indulgence. And that foot bath! Honestly, I think my feet are still thanking me. This is the real luxury experience.
I also had the chance to experience the Steamroom, Swimming pool, and Sauna.
About the Cleanliness and Safety
I'll level with you: I'm a bit of a germaphobe. So, the fact that this place was SPOTLESS put my mind at ease. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Big check. Staff trained in safety protocol? Seems so. They'd even removed shared stationery and provided hand sanitizer. Feeling safe in this environment is critical now, and I'm happy with the fact that they took every detail into consideration.
The "Things To Do" Part (Beyond Basking in Luxury)
- Things to do, ways to relax - I didn't venture far. The terrace was my world. But they do have a Fitness center (if you're into that sort of thing), a pool with a view and a swimming pool [outdoor].
- There are Meeting/banquet facilities, so this place seems good for business travelers.
Accessibility
They've made a genuine effort to cater to guests with varied needs, including facilities for disabled guests. The elevator makes access to all floors simple. I was impressed!
The Flaws (Because Let's Be Honest, Nothing's Perfect)
- Sometimes the service felt a little over the top. But hey, I'm complaining about being pampered. What's up with that?
- The price tag. Let's be real, it isn't cheap. But for the experience, it's worth it.
Final Verdict: Book It!
This Platinum Suite? It's a game-changer. It's luxurious, it's comfortable, and those views? Forget about it. They were spectacular. It is a perfect place for all of this: Couple's room, Proposal spot, and Non-smoking rooms. I'd happily go back tomorrow. This hotel truly provides an unforgettable experience! It's a splurge, but trust me, you'll be glad you did it.

Escape to Paradise: Hill 'N' You's Luxurious Mount Abu Retreat
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to embark on a Cape Town adventure for two, residing in the oh-so-fabulous Roosboom Luxury Apartment Platinum Suite with a private terrace. Let's just say, I need this trip. And you, my friend, are lucky enough to be along for the ride (virtually, for now!).
Cape Town Craze: A Messy, Emotional, & Utterly Fabulous Itinerary (For Two)
(Disclaimer: Actual execution? Probably won't be this streamlined. Things will go wrong. We'll get lost. I'll probably cry at a particularly beautiful sunset. But hey, that's life, right?)
Day 1: Arrival & Oh. My. Goodness. View!
- Morning (Sort of… let's be real, probably late Morning)
- The Struggle is Real: Land at Cape Town International (CPT). Ugh, airports. The smells, the crowds, the anticipation. Okay, deep breaths.
- Chaos Control: Grab our pre-booked transfer (pray it's a decent driver, not a speed demon!).
- Destination: Paradise Found! Arrive at Roosboom. Okay… prepare to be overwhelmed. They say the Platinum Suite's got a private terrace with views? I'm expecting something that makes my jaw drop. If it doesn't, I'm writing a strongly worded email. We'll unpack (or, let's be honest, dump our bags) and then…
- The Terrace Test: First priority: terrace viewing! Crack open the complimentary bottle of bubbly (assuming there is one, because if there isn't, I'm petitioning for one at reception). This is it. This is the moment where years of yearning for a proper vacation come crashing down. I will, most likely, burst into tears. Or at least have a very visceral, “WOW” reaction.
- Afternoon:
- Local Grub Alert: Casual lunch at a nearby cafe. Maybe something with a view - like those places on Kloof Street they have with the outdoor seating. I'm already dreaming of fresh, local cuisine. Maybe a delicious salad? Or a hearty chicken salad? Or a pizza? I'm not sure yet.
- Roosboom Revelry: Explore the apartment. Seriously, check everything. The kitchen, the bathrooms, the robes. Are the robes fluffy? Crucial information! And if there's a Nespresso machine, I’m not leaving until I’ve tried every single capsule.
- Evening:
- Sunset Drama: Sunset cocktails (again, assuming we can purchase some from the nearest store and maybe bring some glasses from the apartment) on the terrace. This is what we came for. Prepare for extreme Instagramming (sorry, not sorry), cheesy smiles, and deep, meaningful conversations fueled by the view and a slight buzz. I predict the sunset will steal my heart.
- Dinner Date: Dinner at a restaurant in the Camps Bay area. I've heard the views - and the food - are incredible. Book in advance. I'm already envisioning the candles, the ambiance, the potential for a romantic moment (or, let’s be real, a slightly awkward conversation about politics).
Day 2: Table Mountain & The Wobbly Bits
- Morning:
- Table Mountain Conquest: Early start! We're tackling Table Mountain! Cable car, I hope, rather than the hike (my knees are screaming in anticipation). Pray for clear skies. Because if we can't see the view, I'm blaming the weather gods.
- Mountain Top Bliss (Maybe): Wander around the top. Take a million photos. Try not to get blown off the edge (seriously, they say it can get windy!). I'm also hoping to spot some of those adorable rock hyraxes. If I see one, I’m naming it.
- Afternoon:
- Lunch with a View (Again): Lunch at a cafe near the bottom of Table Mountain, or depending on how amazing the views were a quick snack from the top.
- A Little Bit of History: Then, let's be a little bit culture-y. Maybe a visit to the Company's Garden. Or take a relaxing stroll around the V&A waterfront.
- Evening:
- Dinner in the City: Head to the Bo-Kaap area for a colourful dinner experience. I’ve heard the food here is amazing (and that the houses are Instagram gold). I'm expecting vibrant colours, incredible flavours, and a serious sugar rush from the dessert.
- Honest moment: I am also hoping for a restaurant that has the most authentic food, an original experience, and isn't too tourist-trap-y. Finding that is half the fun.
- Dinner in the City: Head to the Bo-Kaap area for a colourful dinner experience. I’ve heard the food here is amazing (and that the houses are Instagram gold). I'm expecting vibrant colours, incredible flavours, and a serious sugar rush from the dessert.
Day 3: Wine Route Wanderlust & A Touch of Melancholy
- Morning:
- Wine Time! Day trip to the Stellenbosch or Franschhoek wine region (we'll decide on the day - depends on our mood, and how early we wake up). I'm picturing rolling vineyards, sipping wine in the sun, and feeling sophisticated (even if I mostly spill).
- Wine Tasting Extravaganza: Book a wine tour (the guided ones, so no one has to be the designated driver!). We're aiming for at least three wineries (we'll see… maybe more, if the wine is REALLY good). Do some wine tasting, go in the back of house/kitchen, and get a photo with the staff.
- Afternoon:
- Vineyard Picnic (If we're feeling fancy): Pack a picnic lunch (cheese, bread, local fruit, the works) to enjoy on the grounds of a winery. Or, if we've had too much wine, we'll just eat at one of the restaurant's on site.
- Shopping Spree: Browse the shops in one of the towns - maybe a little souvenir shopping (because, yes, I will be buying a ridiculous amount of things I don’t need).
- Evening:
- Farewell Dinner: Our last night! A special dinner back in the Camps Bay, or perhaps at the apartment. I might cook (maybe not, let’s be real). We'll reflect on the trip, laugh about our mishaps (there will be plenty), and feel a little bit sad that it's coming to an end.
- Terrace Reflections: One last nightcap on the terrace. Saying goodbye to that view… is going to hurt. I’m going to savour every single moment.
Day 4: Goodbye Cape Town (For Now!)
- Morning:
- Brunch Bliss (or a rushed bite): Enjoy a final brunch somewhere delicious. Or grab a quick coffee and pastry, as we may be running late.
- Farewell to The Views (More Tears): Last-minute packing (aka, cramming everything in the suitcase). One last longing look at the view from the terrace. I will take one final deep breath.
- Afternoon:
- Airport Bound: Head to Cape Town International (CPT) for our flight home.
- Post-Trip Blues (Guaranteed): Prepare for the inevitable post-holiday sadness. We'll be dreaming of Cape Town for weeks (or even months!) to come.
Quirky Observations & Imperfections:
- My Packing Philosophy: Overpack. Always. Especially the "just in case" items.
- The Language Barrier: I will try to learn some basic Afrikaans phrases. I will probably butcher them.
- Photo Obsession: I will take a million photos. Prepare for the Instagram deluge.
- The Weather: I'm hoping for sunshine, but prepared for anything. Cape Town weather is notoriously changeable.
- Lost in Translation: I will get lost. We will probably get lost multiple times. I'll blame it on Google Maps.
- The food, oh the food: I am very interested in trying the local cuisine. I hope to find some of the best restaurants, meet the best cooks and experience the best flavours. I'm thinking of trying all the restaurants mentioned in the best guides, getting the top recommendations and doing a restaurant tour.
Emotional Reactions:
- Pure Joy: Overwhelmed by the beauty. Every. Single. Day.
- Minor Meltdowns: Possibly caused by wine, jet lag, slight sunburn, or general exhaustion.
- Awe & Wonder: At the sheer magnitude of the landscape and the beauty of the city.
- Gratitude: For this experience. For having someone to share it with. For being alive
Cape Town's Platinum Suite: You Want the Truth?! Here's the Chaos...
Okay, So the "Unforgettable Views"... Are They REALLY? Or Just Insta-Hype?
Right, let's be honest. I've seen my fair share of 'amazing views' that turned out to be a slight improvement on a brick wall. But the Platinum Suite? Dude, the views are... well, they’re actually unforgettable. Think postcard perfection. I'm talking Table Mountain, the ocean stretching out like a turquoise dream, the city lights twinkling at night like a fallen constellation.
I went with my partner, Sarah, and the first thing *she* did? Grabbed her phone, of course. But then… and this is key… she just stood there. Silent. For like, five minutes. And Sarah talks a LOT. So yeah, the views are the real deal. Actually, I think she was just trying to work out what filter to use. Turns out, none needed.
The best part? Sinking into the outdoor bathtub as the sun dips below the horizon. I'm not even a 'bath person' normally, but that view, with a glass of local Sauvignon Blanc... Forget about it. Pure bliss. Pure, ‘I-might-cry-it’s-so-beautiful’ bliss.
What's the Deal with the "Private Terrace"? Is It Actually Private, or Just Some Balcony Where Everyone Can See You Eating Your Breakfast?
Ah, the privacy question. Vital, right? Look, it is private. Mostly. I mean, you're not going to find some nosey neighbor peering over the railing with binoculars. It's enclosed enough to feel like your own little world.
But here's the catch, and it's a funny one: During our stay, we had this AMAZING breakfast delivered (included, score!). Think fresh fruit, pastries, the works. I was happily scarfing it down when… BAM! A couple of seagulls, absolute *thugs* of the sky, decided they wanted in on the action. They swooped down! I swear, one of them eyed my croissant like a seasoned pickpocket. We shooed them away, of course. It was a minor intrusion, a funny, messy part of the experience. Made it memorable, in a "don't-leave-food-unattended" kind of way.
Seriously, Though, Is This Suite Worth the Price Tag? It Looks Expensive!
Okay, let's not beat around the bush. It's not cheap. You're paying for an experience. And a bloody good one, I might add. Is it worth it? Alright, let's break it down.
Pro: The views, the space, the feeling of being pampered. The staff? Seriously, they're ridiculously friendly and helpful. They make you feel like royalty. I even managed to spill red wine on the pristine white sheets (don’t ask), and they handled it with grace and zero judgment. Major win.
Con: The price. It's a splurge. You'll need to save up. Or, you know, win the lottery. I didn't do either. We just decided it was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.
The Verdict: If you can swing it and want a truly unforgettable stay in Cape Town, and you're okay with the slight possibility of a seagull heist? Then yes. Absolutely. Book it. You won't regret it. Just... guard your croissants.
What's the Room Itself Like? Is It Just a Glorified Hotel Room or Something Special?
It’s special! It’s a proper suite. Huge. Like, actual space to spread out. You’ve got a separate living area with a comfy sofa (perfect for collapsing on after a day of sightseeing), a massive bedroom, and a bathroom that’s bigger than my first apartment.
The decor? Modern, stylish, and thankfully, not overly fussy. It's all about those views! Big windows to take it all in. It feels luxurious without being stuffy. I appreciated that. I hate feeling like I can't touch anything. It’s got that ‘this-is-a-treat-but-chill-out’ vibe, y'know?
I loved the little touches, like the fresh flowers and the welcome bottle of wine. And the bed? Oh man, the bed. I think I could have slept for a week straight in that thing. I genuinely felt disappointed when I woke up and realized it was time to leave. But don’t let me get started on how much I also loved the rain shower and all of the plush robes.
Any Hidden Costs or Surprises I Should Know About? Besides the Seagulls, that is...
Let's be real, hidden costs are the bane of my existence. Fortunately, the Platinum Suite is pretty transparent. The main costs are upfront. Breakfast is included (huge plus!). There might be costs for extra things, like spa treatments or room service, but they make all that clear from the get-go.
One thing to note, although not a "hidden cost", is the drinks. Those cocktails by the pool? They add up. But hey, you're on vacation, right? Treat yourself! We ended up having a minor debate about the drinks bill later, but hey, that’s the price of "forgetting" the total as you soak up the sunshine. Remember, everything adds up! So, do keep track and you will be fine!
Is the Hot Tub Actually Heated? What about the weather?
Yes, the hot tub is heated! Huge relief, right? Can you imagine, paying all that money for a cold dip? The whole thing is pointless! I checked immediately because, well, I am a bit of a worrier!
Honestly, dealing with the weather is the biggest gamble you are going to make when you book this place. It can be incredible, with cloudless days and endless sunshine. It can also be completely miserable. The weather in Cape Town is notorious for changing on a dime. So, there will be that worry, what if I book this luxury place and it rains all the time? I booked in the Spring and got some lovely weather. I did, however, still feel the need to check the weather app obsessively.
Can I Order Room Service? And is it any good?
Yes! Room service is available. And, from our experience, it's actually pretty fantastic. We ordered dinner one night, a massive platter of seafood, and it was delicious.Stay Classy Hotels
