I had an amazing six-night stay at Cape Grace, where the location, views, and staff truly stood out. The elegant decor and comfortable rooms made my experience nice, though the pool felt a bit cramped and the shower pressure could use some improvement. Overall, it was a classy hotel with a warm atmosphere that made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.
