I treated my best friend to a night of luxury at this hotel, and we were completely pampered from the moment we arrived. The warm welcome with sherry and a delightful sweet bar set the tone for our stay. The room was pristine with a special birthday treat, and the spa treatments were absolutely exhilarating. However, I did notice that Wi-Fi could be improved, and the sea view was somewhat obscured by the freeway. Overall, this hotel treated us like queens and is highly recommended!

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, the rooms were spacious and well-furnished, and the staff was warm and friendly. However, the hotel fell short of its promised 5-star experience, particularly with the wifi situation and some dated facilities. The dining options were good, but could benefit from more variety. Overall, I felt it was closer to a 4-star rather than a true 5-star experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the service at the restaurant and spa was excellent, and the overall ambiance was enjoyable. However, the inconsistency with the staff's communication regarding our late check-out left a sour note. Additionally, while the spa treatments provided a lovely escape, the room conditions were less than ideal, making the stay not as relaxing as I had hoped.

I recently stayed at The View to celebrate my anniversary, and while we had some lovely moments, there were definitely a few hiccups. The spa treatments were fantastic, and the dining experience at Giorgio's was enjoyable, but I was let down by the inconsistent check-out policy and a bit of unprofessionalism from the front-desk staff. Overall, the hotel's ambiance was beautiful, but the service could use some improvements.
