“Cresta Grande Cape Town, though a 4-star establishment, has some mixed reviews that should be considered. While its central location and family-friendly amenities like kids-eat-free options appeal, some guests have noted issues with elevator service and inconsistencies in food quality. I think it's wise to consider these points when planning a stay.”
