اختصاراً جميل كل شي الاقامة والنظافه والتعامل ما عدا الاكل لم يعجبني ابداً.
Pros:

اعجبني النظافة والمكان جميل وهدوء
والمسبح نظيف.

Cons:

الاكل مستواه ضعيف جداً وليس لذيذ الله يكرم النعمة بمقابل انه غالي على سعرة مايستحق الصراحة اتمنى تحسنوا من مستوى الاكل لان اغلب الخدمات ليست قريبة .

Ils ont tout misé sur la vue, dommage car cela ne nourrit pas !
Pros:

La vue est effectivement très belles et la chambre est propre et agréable, la salle de bain offre une belle superficie avec douche et baignoire.

Cons:

La nourriture, le buffet est très sommaire. Il n’y a pas d’offre continentale, tout est indien au dîner et au petit déjeuner, il n’y a pas assez de choix. Ils vendent la chambre avec le petit déjeuner et offre la possibilité de dîner au check in, ce que tout le monde prend car on n’a pas envie de refaire la route une fois arrivée, cependant le prix du dîner est trop cher par rapport à l’offre. On sent qu’ils essayent de faire des économies sur la nourriture, nous avons eu au dîner et petit déjeuner les mêmes fruits, pastèques et melons, alors que la saison des mangues est à son apogée. Pas de lait de substitution au petit déjeuner alors que le supermarché en bas en vend. La piscine est belle mais pas très propre, il y avait des clients qui se baignaient habillé, notamment des femmes en sari.

Ne pas y aller si vous n'aimez pas les repas très épicés - cuisine indienne
Pros:

Les chambres sont spacieuses et agreables. La piscine est bien.

Cons:

le buffet et le petit dejeuner est axé uniquement pour une clientèle indienne. TOUT ETAIT TRES ÉPICÉ et donc difficile de manger pour une personne qui n'aime pas ça. Meme les pommes de terre étaient épicés.
Pour la piscine, très gros problème avec la clientele indienne. Cela devrait être interdit de se baigner avec ses vêtements de ville.
Je ne recommanderai pas cet établissement et d'ailleurs nous avons appris après que le restaurant était le gros souci. C'est vraiment dommage.

Not clean, staff not supportive and won't visit again
Pros:

Liked the location

Cons:

We reached the hotel late so went for dinner straight and then to rooms. We started sneezing when we entered the room. Then we realised the floor was really full of dust. Called the reception and no one was available. Their reception and all facilities close by 9 pm. I had to clean all by myself to protect my daughter. Staff service was crap. Kitchen was fine with limited variety but won't complain. We could have surely got better hotel for the price we paid. They publish as 3 start hotel on Google but it is actually a Resort. Won't visit ever again.

Pros:

The view over the town below.

Cons:

You had to pay extra for everything (only 1 bottle of water on the first day, rest charged, cappuccino was charged). No cleaning of the room nor fresh towels during the entire stay.
Buffet was very average (either super spice or super bland and very limited choice)

Needs complete refurbishment, or to halve the prices.
Pros:

The only unique "pro" The View has over its competitors these days is the pool - which isn't heated and there were no pool towels or seat cushions available. The staff are very nice, the food is surprisingly good quality (don't be put off by the menu), the flowers are pretty and of course the view itself is great. BUT it's a rip off due to poor maintenance, dirtiness and worn out cheap furnishings.

Cons:

The rooms need complete refurbishment and the owners need to stop being so cheap. The patio doors aren't maintained so they jam. There is only one lamp per room, with cheap and cracked lampshade. You only get one towel per person, no hand towels, and the towels are frayed and stained. The cleaning standard is poor - the floor and shower were dirty and (for the first time we've ever had) we had to ask for new bedding on arrival as it was dirty (and stained). Everything is chipped, scuffed and worn. There are better places to stay for half the price, with excellent views but no pool.
