Views Boutique Hotel & Spa

A fantastic hotel. The views were literally spectacular. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Loved the fact that you could relax by the pool or on the terrace overlooking the sea after a hard day sightseeing. We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening and the food was excellent. Breakfast was a bit funny as you could order a sweet or savoury selection which came presented on a tiered platter. To us this was too much, you couldn't have just one muffin or croissant or a portion of meat/salmon. There was also a cooked selection also which was excellent. Our room was bright and modern and very well presented.

Advantages:- neat cleaning staff, good room cleaning- great sea view, but the same as you get from numerous other hotels in the areaDisadvantages:- unfriendly female receptionist who gives you weird looks if you're not walking through the empty hotel dressed smartly, and is only friendly when you check in or extend your stay- 5 stars? Never in a lifetime. The facility is run down, the SPA area is tiny, the water is not warm, the sauna is not hot (when it is in use) and the steam room is probably only turned on for extra booked treatments.- Price-performance ratio both in the hotel for the rooms and in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner absolutely poor.- The overpriced cheapest" rooms have no sea but gas station view and you can hear the noise of the ventilation system(s) and from the gas station.- Invoices can not be properly issued and amended as the staff is not capable of doing so. Was quite easy in other (not 5-star) hotels.- When checking out

This was a wonderful experience. The chef is incredible, the views outstanding and an overall amazing place.

We stayed at Views Hotel 20th - 22nd April and had a fabulous time. The staff were beyond brilliant and went above and beyond to make our stay extra special including surprising my husband with some birthday cake!! We would highly recommend this hotel for anybody doing the garden route or looking for a summer beach holiday.

From arrival till departure we were treated by professional and friendly staff going the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The room was luxuriously appointed. Special spoils included a welcoming drink of choice, champagne in room, turn-down service with nougat treat, wake-up coffee/tea in bed service and as it was my wife's birthday, a special gift of a scented candle and a beautifully plated slice of cake! The views were beyond amazing! It was a memorable and most enjoyable stay for us!

My wife was looking for a place to just çhill out and relax. And do nothing. Well this was the place. We ended up in the penthouse suite because I procrastinated about booking. My guess is this will be the holiday we will talk about for the next 2 years. The room looked out nearly perfectly South with the sun rising on your left side and setting on the right with a magnificent nightsky from the balcony. There was a pod of dolphins playing in the waves one morning, but not seen again. The beach and sea was just picture perfect. Just be careful of the very deceptive riptides. There is a swimming beach nearby with lifeguards.The management and staff were super and the rolling power outages had no impact as the generator kept things running smoothly. It was just so easy to go visit places and good local restaurants nearby. Shopping in George if needed or Knysna a little bit further.

Location fantastic, Junior staff brilliant. As a boutique hotel they lack attention to detail. As a paying guest you have to wait in line competing with locals who have use of the gym. Never got to use it at all. The Sauna and steam room never operable. They blame load shedding, Seriously !!! The attending senior staff very rude and unhelpful. They seem to think they are doing you a favor. Food good and rooms are nice. Had to phone reception a few times for teaspoons and the TV remote. In this price range there are better options.

Amazing relaxing hotel overlooking the stunning beach with mountains at the backThe service is just perfectLoved the in room morning coffee was a plusAnd the warm welcome was beautiful
