The Marly is for guests staying in Camps Bay who want a heated pool and the beach close by. The pool is for hotel guests, with no day pass listed.
The pool
The Marly is at 201 Victoria Rd on The Promenade in Camps Bay. The pool is heated and for hotel guests. The hotel doesn't publish its floor or pool hours. Guests also get beach loungers and a dedicated beach butler on Camps Bay.
Our take
The Marly is our only Camps Bay hotel, in a coastal neighborhood described as one of the most in-demand in Cape Town. Choose it for beach plus pool; The Silo and Pullman are city or Waterfront stays.
The downside is access and detail. Only guests can swim, and the facts are thin: heating, 5 stars and a 4.6 Google score from 327 reviews. Without a room, the public Sea Point Pavilion pool costs R39.00 for adults 16 and over.
