The staff are very nice and friendly once you arrive. It’s a gamble if you will get a villa as nice as the pictures. I switched villas after a week once a better one became available. The property is definitely dated. The jacuzzis aren’t well kept, I didn’t get in mine at all. There is also construction on the property which I feel should’ve been good reason to reduce price given the dirt flying around dusting the patios and environment. The heel is steep but the property shuttle goes down 3x daily and I didn’t have any issues with getting Grab or food delivered. The electric bill is ridiculous. The stay was overall okay. I can’t say k would stay again, not for the price.

Lovely resort, but quite a steep hill to go up a lot of taxi bike i got struggle to go up. If you like hiking then this is a great option.
The pool was a good size, the room we had the jacuzzi bit to the pool didnt work.
The decor for the room was slightly scary especially at night when waking up to use the bathroom. As you enter the property there was a big face hanging up which is right by the bathroom door, then there was different types of pictures/painting that had eyes around the room come like you're being watch.

They charge for electricity and cleaning fee. Some grab cars and taxis won't go to the property because it's too steep, we had to walk at least 3 times.

HALAL

The property is exactly like the name says THE VIEW. when booking this on Expedia it states location to beach - 10 mins walking, kata night market 10 min walk Karon beach 17 min walk. Etc. The fact is you cannot reach any of these times even driving. It’s located on a cliff that is literally a 75-80% slope. Local taxis refuse to go up it. Walking up takes 10-15 minutes. So we were forced to rent a car as there isn’t a thing close to it. We were there at 1:00 and were advised the room would be ready the day before for that time, we sat there till 4:30 to get a dirty room. No soap, no detergent etc. ( we’ve always got a small package everywhere we’ve rented). Also after we rented it through Expedia and paying for it upfront we got a message from the manager 2 days before checking in that there will be a $$$ charge for cleaning which wasn’t in the add at time of booking online. Lastly when we were checking in they also threw at us that we have to pay for electricity over and above on check out( not in description). We tried to cancel the whole reservation when we arrived with all of these inconveniences and extras but they wouldn’t refund a dollar. The pool is spectacular but only 8-10 loungers so we never used it. The view is second to none. Please know what you are in for before renting.

The hotel is nice and has beautiful views, but an important detail is not mentioned online: it is located on a very high cliff with a long, steep walk to reach it. Taxis from the street usually refuse to go up because of how steep it is.

During heavy rain, the hotel could not arrange transportation down the cliff, even when we offered to pay. This made it very difficult to eat or move around, so we cancelled our last night and changed hotels.

At the beginning, the staff were helpful, but after we raised concerns, their attitude changed. When I asked for a taxi to the airport, I was told to pay first before they even ordered the taxi, which felt rude and unprofessional.

The hotel itself is nice, but the location and lack of support, especially in bad weather, were very disappointing.

Nice condos and clean. They do charge a cleaning fee, and they charge for electricity based on the meter reading. The restaurant was convenient, but it closes at 6 pm. The office isn't always staffed when it says it is. The driveway up to the property is a very steep hill that 6 active people in their twenties dreaded walking up every single time. Overall, I would recommend as long as you know these details that we were unaware of when we booked

Epic view from the 3 bedroom pool villa, trade off was the extremely steep access - 99% of people would not be able to walk up. Would’ve been a superb resort when new, but the villa I booked was definitely behind in maintenance. I did enjoy my stay but it was heavily discounted. I would not have been happy with the condition had I paid full price.

Great view but difficult to access. Some Taxi’s were unable to drive up the hill so a difficult walk home. They have a courtesy truck but it only goes twice a day so not very convenient.a great concept but the finish is ordinary. Balcony slopes away from drain. No ceiling fan so very hot or noisy aircon. Very few occupants so pool services not reliable. You need your own transport.

As a whole our stay was good. We enjoyed using the gym facilities and felt our condo was very private and quiet. We also felt the price paid for the accommodation was good value for money.

However, I wouldn’t recommend staying at The View due to its location.

The View is located on top of a very steep hill - the gradient is almost completely vertical - making walking up and down it very dangerous. Individuals who are disabled or who have young children with prams etc. should avoid the property.

In addition, the electricity and cleaning fee were overpriced for Thailand. Online the property states it offers an airport shuttle but when we enquired about the service we were told they do not offer this. In addition, the bar/restaurant closes at 1830 which is inconvenient, especially due to the property’s location.

The hill going up is steep. If you plan to walk to the beach and back, be aware you will be going up the same steep driveway as the cars. The property is good for those that like the solitude of having a home away from home at the bare minimum. Paying for the electricity is fine, but it is a bit steep in pricing. Using the agrab app for getting food delivery etc is wonderful though. Please note, while some tours do pick you up, some will not drive up the slope, as their car is unable to make it. You will need to meet them at the bottom or elsewhere.

A beautifully designed property which fell short of expectations. Staff were difficult to deal with at times. Parking for my rental motorbike was limited to a tiny areas where all the other motorbikes are herded into a small area, resulting of course in incidental damage to all of them. I parked in another area where there were staff motorbikes, including those contraptions with sidecars, and they booted me (locked the cycle). I am NOT a fan of this hypocrisy where staff make things easy on themselves and have a double standard for others, as the place I parked would in no way interfere with anyone. Staff answer the phones only rarely if you need to call them. This caused us problems on 3 occasions. Gym is dysfunctional. One of the AC units in my condo was dysfunctional. The furniture was cheap and unacceptable. No trash cans were provided... only 2 tiny waste paper baskets which overflowed after just one meal, requiring us to take our trash up flights of stairs. The hill coming to the facility is steeper than any I've ever seen in my life. Not an issue, except when you book a van, which may sometimes refuse to come up there, as they bottom out on the paving. The price they charge for electricity is confiscatory. I practiced care in using the electricity but was still given a ridiculously high bill, the exact figure of which can't be quoted here because of expedia regs. Ditto cleaning fee. I'd never go again.

The property has a great scenic view, but that is as far as I would say was great about this place. Our encounter was horrible we checked into a Villa that had cockroaches, extremely dirty mattresses, dirty sheets, and a not so clean living space. We arrived late night and complained immediately about the issues but since the cleaning crew was done for the evening we made the best of it and received new blankets for the night. The issues were supposed to be solved the next day but only the mattress was addressed. After a subpar make believe cleaning service, we still had the same dead cockroaches , and dirty living space. We once again complained to management to no avail. The only reason why we didn’t checked out of the Property was due to the fact that every property we contacted and considered was booked for the week. This was an extremely disappointed experience.

Breakfast was ok, nothing wow about it. The only thing I would say is, if you or someone with you has mobility issues, please don’t book this place as it’s up a very steep hill. They do have a shuttle which brings you up and down to the Main Street but sometimes they can be late. But overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to go back there again. :)

Amazing views from the hotel pool and our own patio, stunningly beautiful 180 degree ocean view!

We find little bugs (mostly caterpillars, nothing dirty or gross) in our room everyday, and sometimes the table at the pool restaurant wasn’t wiped clean at breakfast. But the room is clean and very nice in general.

When my friends got there, they had to have our room cleaned as the sheets weren’t clean and there was rust in the shower. They immediately came and rectified that issue. Other than that, the room was great. The hill from the street to the hotel is NO JOKE. We walked up it just so we can say we conquered it... we were sweating profusely when we got to the top. Milk arranged it for us to have a private chef on New Year’s Eve and that was an awesome experience. It came out to be cheaper than if we would have gone to a restaurant. Everyone was really nice and accommodating. The breakfast was “ok” and could have been much better, but it is what it is... All in all, a good time was had!

Have a huge slopes upward from main road to Villa entrance. Villa did provided shuttle bus come down to pick up but need to call reception to book it. We reach the main road on 830pm and called many times till 910pm but no one answer our calls. In the end we need to climb up by ourselves. It was very dark, scary and tired. When we reached Villa, find out that the receptionist was chatting with their staff outside their office.
They seems like very friendly & helpful but when you ask about where can get a good and reasonable price for activities like Canoeing/ Elephant trekking/ ATV ride, they will bring you go to a quite far place to buy the very expensive activities package which you can find the very cheap package(less than half price & more activities) near the main road.

Great place!

I cannot say enough about this hotel, really. Let me start off by saying that all of the review about \"the hill is too steep and no one will drive up it\" are wrong. Book a taxi through the hotel and there is no problem, or better yet, do what we did and rent motorbikes (that can be done through the hotel too). The pictures of this place do not do it justice. We had the 3br VIP rooms, which were listed at the time at 50% off (Around $400 USD) which was a steal. I went with 2 couples (including myself and gf) so it broke down to 200$ a night per couple, which again was a great price!! I know it is Thailand, but I always finding myself comparing room prices to what I would pay in the states, and in the states this room would easily cost a grand a night. Then entire living room wall opens up, it has a full kitchen, a personal pool and a personal Jacuzzi, walk in rain showers (Which is a MUST for ANY place that I stay) and the location is close to Kata and Karon beach. Patong (for nightlife) is a bit of a hike (20 min drive) but rent a taxi, get the guys number and call him when you are ready to leave (if you want to party / drink). I overbooked for 1 night and asked for a refund, which they couldn't provide me with but credited me a night for when I return, which I will do. This place is amazing, if the price is right when you are going to visit, you MUST stay here!!

Beautiful view, well worth the price. Maintenance of facilities and operations was not fully there, but the view made it worthwhile. The hill is pretty steep, and takes about 20 min to walk slowly up - it is nearly a 60 degree incline. There is a shuttle available to take you to Kata town and the beach, so it is not that bad.
