The initial arrival when we parked in the public parking raised some concerns, however the lovely hotel security lady quickly intervened and directed us to the proper hotel parking, from that point it was fantastic! The room was spotless, big and well appointed. But THE VIEWS!… WOW!!! The hotel certainly lives up to the name! The staff were all brilliant from the moment we arrived to the point we had to sadly check out. We will be back again!!

We really had relaxed 5 nights at the VIEWS .
We also enjoyed the spa and massage.
Planning to stay at VIEWS next year.
We really appreciate the great hospitality by the staff from beginning to end.

Improve your breakfast service

Excellent hotel. This was our 4th stay. Since last time they heated the pool which is a great improvement.
However something was wrong with the breakfast service this time. Not enough waiters to attend to the guests and one has to wait very long for your food. Not up to standard for a 5 star hotel

A pleasant stay but strange decor

A pleasant stay and staff were friendly in the clean establishment. Rooms are spacious with great views however the building seemed to be a bit lost with its interior design, some elements modern, some dated, the combination of new and old just doesn’t quite work. The food was also far from 5 star and left a lot to be desired.

Views is perfectly named - from the welcoming reception area to our beautiful room and deck (and bathroom) and restaurant, bar, pool, it has been designed for guests to enjoy the beautiful long beach with waves crashing in and the coastline and sunsets with uninterrupted views. Room/bed clean and comfortable and bathroom spacious and lovely. All staff friendly, food great, safe flight of steps down dune to long clean and unspoilt sandy beach. Very short drive to Eden Adventures to rent a canoe for 2 which was a lovely nature trip - beautiful birds, butterflies, one kingfisher and a large crane (we think) took flight for us - a bit windy so remember you need your energy for return paddle! Wilderness is a lovely spot. The beach is a place for walking not swimming! We would happily recommend and return to Views Boutique Hotel and Spa (though we didn’t try the spa!)

The hotel is a large imposing building but inside is light, bright and modern with cleverly designed spaces and the most beautiful decor. The rooms are large and well appointed, beds super comfy and bathrooms you can only envy!! The views from the deck and restaurant areas over the sandy beach are just hypnotic!!

Great position on the top of the beach with stunning views. Good welcome from the reception team, Not sure about signage upon arrival for our car although we parked very close to the doors and safe.
Not sure the cloudy day allowed us to see and use all facilities. Just had a feeling it looks modern and feels a little soul less. The restaurant staff did a great job at breakfast and it was enjoyable but we just didn’t fancy the evening meal there. Can’t quite put my finger on it but it was an only average experience.

Excellent location and professional staff.

This is a great hotel, beautiful, fresh, modern, glass everywhere. We have a non-sea facing room. We could not hear the waves, only the cars and trucks that gears down to go around the round about at the garage. This is not what you want to hear when you are booking a hotel next to the beach. Our room did not have something to put your shower gel or shampoo on, had to leave the bottles on the floor, which is not very convenient. The hotel itself is very warm inside, not sure if it was the aircon or all the glass from the hotel extracting the heat from the sun? Not sure. The welcome drinks and morning service delivery to your room is the little bit extra that goes a long way. I would recommend this hotel, if it is in your budget, book a sea facing room. The breakfast is very good and tasty. The wi-fi in our room was not good at all, had to reconnect all the time. Parking is limited, but secure.

Beautiful modern hotel with awe inspiring views of the Ocean. Our large sea facing suite was sumptuously appointed and decorated with rich fabrics all reflecting the colours of the sea. The patio double doors open wide to maximize the view. Custom ordered coffee is brought to your room each morning. We felt so very pampered. The breakfast buffet had great variety and presentation. The manager and staff made us feel so special. Upon handing back our passports the manager wished me a most happy birthday and arranged for a cake to be served at dinner along with a choir harmonizing a birthday song. This was without any planning or prompting on our part, got my husband out of a sticky situation :-) and was so incredibly thoughtful. We hope to return again someday.

A large array of items for breakfast. Supper was outstanding. There is a gym which we didn't use. As well as a Spa. Time was too short. Hopefully we will be back and for a longer stay. Well done. Felt really special. I believe you can see dolphins but they didn't show up. Maybe next time. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Left us cold! Nothing but the view!

Views are exceptional ! But they exist whether in or outside the hotel and the view certainly should not be the measure of how good a hotel is.
Beautifully designed and appointed building with lots of designer chic furnishings.
But seriously let down given the high price paid.
3 nights there 2 and a half of those without internet in the room.
The hotel took forever to respond to this gripe and did nothing to compensate.
Generally looks 5 star but the cracks start to appear when things go wrong.
Also a very cold stark atmosphere amongst workers there, not worth the money!

Visit this hotel

Wow! Not only a beautifully appointed hotel with much more than it’s namesake “views” (adjectives required) but interiors to compliment the beach mood - glass fish grace the walls/sun bleached wood object d’art scatter the common parts/glass sea birds hovering from the ceiling/mooted blues/iridescent greys... it’s peaceful and stunning with dolphin pods a plenty to be seen from the ocean facing windows.
Staff in South Africa are the most polite I’ve come across in the world, and they did not let me down here either.
Breakfasts were perfect.
My only criticism is that they could utilise the roof terrace and pool better... refurb the pool to make it larger; open the bar; add subtle music and that really would complete this superb hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel we were greeted by very helpful and friendly hotel staff. During check in we were offered our choice of beverage on the house - my husband chose a beer and I chose bubbly! We then enjoyed our drinks on a small patio overlooking the ocean. Once we were finished taking in the views, the staff member took our bags to our room and showed us around the hotel. We were also offered hot beverages to be brought to our room in the morning and filled out a form selecting what we wanted and at what time. We later had dinner at the hotel restaurant; the food was great and the views were amazing — we watched the sunset during dinner and you couldn’t help getting up to take photos. All the staff were absolutely wonderful during our stay. We truly had an excellent experience and wished we had stayed longer!

Disappointed!

The Hotel is magnificent.
It should be 5-Star
The Staff let it down.
Everything we asked of them was attempted, but ALWAYS something was lacking.
On being shown to our room- 'Oh, I forgot to bring the Morning Drink Form'
On the first drink order - 'Oh, I forgot your mixer'
On arriving at the restaurant table - 'Oh sorry, there's some cutlery missing'
Never attentive to the desires of the paying customer, anywhere in the hotel, or at any time.
I could go on........

Morning Drink - On first morning - Half-an-hour late
Second morning, No saucers with cups
Third morning - Perfect
Fourth Morning - No Milk
House-Keeping
For the room - Very Good, although the first morning left no hand towels
But very noisy from 6 in the morning to 11 at night
Cleaning the Pool area at 6 in the morning, scraping all the chairs and loungers across the floors JUST SO NOISY
On pouring a beer, a waitron spilled the beer over the top of the glass, onto the table, said sorry, and left. when I asked another to clean-up - if looks could kill!!
And this was a manageress. She set the tone of the staff. their attitude, all over, was that the customer was an interruption to their work, as opposed to the reason for it.
I would give an exception to one guy - KC
But, all-in-all, the staff let-down, with a CARELESS attitude to it's customer, what should be a great hotel.

Avoid room 4a

Tiny room 4a originally the children's annex to room 4 is where we got stuck for 4 days is to be avoided. Also despite being a 5 star hotel the breakfast did not look very appetising and was avoided by most guests including us. Beautiful setting and design of hotel was spoilt by these two things. Staff did their best and tried to be helpful but the outcome was still a poor experience. There are better places to stay for the money
