    I attended the buffet breakfast at the President Hotel for my birthday and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was amazing with a great variety, the location is perfect, and the hotel itself is beautiful. What really stood out was the friendly, excellent service from the staff, they truly made the experience special. Well done to the entire team.

    Poolside food - Caesar Salad took almost one hour to serve. Much too slow! Otherwise, everything else was very good.

    It was a beautiful day at the President Hotel. The waiters were amazing, super friendly and sociable. The location was lovely, right in the heart of Cape Town but very quiet. It's also right by the ocean, which is amazing. They've renovated the space amazingly, the lounges and cushions are lovely. The pool is fantastic, very refreshing. The only downside is the food. That was genuinely not great, I had the boa buns before but this time they were bad and the fish goujons were also not good. That was the only downer to the day. But all in all great.
