The OP's main problem might be that none of these is on a beach. The Westin in on the Foreshore (think view of the docks, reasonable proximity to the V&A), the Portswood is on an access road to the V&A and the Hilton is in the city. All perfectly good hotels - but not beach hotels.

Cape Town actually has very few proper beach hotels. Or even waterside hotels - e.g. places like the Twelve Apostles or the Bantry Bay hotel which are on or overlooking the sea but have no beach. The V&A Waterfront and environs has the biggest selection of hotels that have some connection with the water - ranging from the luxury Cape Grace and One & Only to the cheap and cheerful City Lodge.

OP give us a more exact idea of what you want and we might be able to offer better advice. For example, do you actually want to lie on a beach or just be near the sea? Do you want access to shopping, night life...?
