It was absolutely fantastic, clean as ever and the bed was the best bed I’ve ever slept on in my life. The bathroom was insane, the spa was also perfect and the staff were spectacular but a special shout out to Nicole from reservations and the concierges Taariq and Taylor were so good to me, I had changed my engagement plans very late and I was stressing out so much but they all completely calmed my nerves with such professionalism, they really do deserve more than a thank you from me! They are a true asset to the Taj Cape Town!"
