We really enjoyed staying at the V&A waterfront and then being able to walk into downtown. We are big walkers, so might not suit everyone. But we almost always had dinner at the waterfront and then walked back to the hotel. Super pleasant and safe. Camp's Bay was beautiful, but since we live at the beach, didn't find that as appealing. Depends on the kind of vacation you want. I know lots of honeymooners favor the Camp's Bay hotels. One hotel that is near downtown yet has a resort feel with its gorgeous pool is the Mount Nelson. We stayed at the One&Only and were pretty happy with that.
