We had a most marvellous break from the rat race of Johannesburg. Peace and quiet notwithstanding it was school holidays. Breakfast was a buffet of every one would expect and much much more. The staff were amazing. I am currently looking at the calendar to find another break time to be enjoyed at the Pearl. I am 71 and my girlfriend is 58. We both had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the restaurants on the premises. Thank you guys.

The Capital Pearl was very clean with exceptional staff that attend to your every need. The property is within walking distance to multiple restaurants and shopping area, including local vendors that sell handmade merchandise. The beach is easily accessible via the "walkway" that goes on for miles. Excellent experience!!
