Unpleasant experience at Pebbles Gin and ****tail Lounge

A very unpleasant early evening today was had at Pebbles at the Blaauwberg Beach Hotel. The Gin and ****tail lounge is perfectly positioned for a wonderful sunset drink, however, this treat was thoroughly spoilt by a private group and a live DJ whose music was so loud that other patrons not enjoying the music could not hear themselves speak. I complained twice to the excellent waiters and when one came to advise me why the music could not be turned down due to it being live (I think), I had to ask her several times as I could not hear her. I called down to reception to get the manager to resolve but he/she did not arrive. Several other patrons left due to the inappropriate noise and the smell of cannabis which I believe is ******* to smoke / take in a public place. I was there on a rare sunset drink out as I care 24/7 for my 94 year old mum but had the advantage of a carer. Another couple were out on their first free night and I assume new parents. I enquired as to whether Pebbles was a nightclub and the waiter confirmed a lounge so why was this unacceptable noise allowed at 7 pm to the exclusion of the enjoyment of other guests. If the group wished for a party atmosphere I am sure that a private conference room could have been utilised or that purpose.
