When most people think of Cape Town, they think of the beaches. This is definitely not a surprise, as the city boasts some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the world. The question is, should you stay in a beach hotel when visiting Cape Town?
There are a few factors to consider when making this decision. One is how much time you plan to spend at the beach. If you’re only in town for a few days and you want to make the most of your time, then staying in a beach hotel is a great idea. You can wake up, have breakfast and be on the beach within minutes.
However, if you’re planning on spending most of your time exploring the city, then a beach hotel might not be the best option. The city centre is quite a distance from the beach and getting there can be a bit of a hassle, especially in rush hour.
Another thing to consider is your budget. Beach hotels can be a bit more expensive than hotels in the city centre.
Overall, the choice of whether to stay in a beach hotel or not depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you want to spend a lot of time at the beach and you have the budget for it, then a beach hotel is definitely the way to go. But if you’re looking for a more diverse travel experience, staying in the city centre might be a better option.
