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.

Pros:

The staff we're all very welcoming and helpful. Including sending out messages prior to areival and coming to check on us once we had settled into our room.
The rooms were clean, comfortable and with an incredible view. Pool area and gardens were all clean and well kept.

Cons:

The only thing that wasn't such a big deal is the food was overpriced for what it was. It was fine but expensive.

Preis-Leistung stimmt leider nicht
Pros:

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich, das Personal überaus freundlich und disponibel.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung des Bungalows war teilweise einfach bis billig und auch etwas abgewohnt, für ein Hotel dieser Preisklasse keinesfalls angemessen. Das Konzept des Hotels mit den Bungalows ist interessant, allerdings wirkt die Anlage nicht wirklich gepflegt. Das Essen war gut, da wir allerdings 3 Nächte gebucht hatten, hat sich das Buffet am 3. Tag wiederholt.

Magnificent view trumps facilities that are a little tired.
Pros:

The view and the staff.

Cons:

Pods a little tired.
No hot water on arrival, bathroom fittings loose, wardrobe doors hard to close etc.
Buffet dinner during Ramadan a little pricy for what you get.

Très mauvais rapport qualité/prix!
Pros:

Le personnel du restaurant est très attentionné et les plats sont bons.
La vue sur la ville en contre bas

Cons:

L’hôtel est trop loin de la ville, il faut suivre une piste de7km en montée pour atteindre l’hôtel, du coup impossible de manger ailleurs qu’à l’hôtel le soir! Le prix de la restauration le soir est un peu élevée mais le menu est très complet.
L’eau de la piscine était froide! Impossible d’en profiter.
Chambre réservée pour 4 personnes (2 adultes et 2 enfants) mais on s’est retrouvée avec un grand lit et un lit d’appoint.
