I stayed at this hotel in January for 3 nights with my bf who is an american and his family,I am Jamaican.The room was spacious and nice for the price we paid and the room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels all the time so housekeeping was great.We were staying on the 3rd floor and the water pressure was very low.There wasn't an iron in the room but it was an all inclusive hotel so that was ok.There was a room on the bottom floor where you could do your ironing.We ate a few times from the restuarant and the food was good and we got it pretty quickly and it was hot.It was however a bit pricey but good none the less.The customer service for me was atrocious.If I needed anything I would just ask my bf to speak with someone in customer service because I knew I'd just be getting attitude all day everyday.Afterall,I was a guest too and paid my money just like everyone staying there but perhaps it had to with the fact that I didnt have an american accent and so for me customer service/front desk was the worst part of my stay.The pool was great and the hotel is pretty quiet if you are seeking a relaxing vacation.Obviously,I would not return to this place unless they changed the front desk staff not sure if training them would help much.

Stayed at Golf View Hotel for two nights in May 2008. I booked using a local address to benefit from the discount offered to locals. I really don't know if I got a "local" room, or if there is any difference with other rooms. This is a good place to stay on a budget. There are actually very few choices in Mandeville. Hotel has three floors. I also saw a bar near the reception area.

Pros:
Friendly courteous staff. Large clean room (1 bedroom suite). Comfortable beds. Cable tv. Air Conditioning. Hot & Cold water with great water pressure unlike many hotels. Seating area & dining area in room. Coffee maker in room. Housekeeping came in daily. Gated entry to the property with a security guard. Swimming pool & nice landscaping. Hair dryer in bathroom.

Cons:
Bathroom seriously in need of upgrading. Tiles missing from top of shower stall. First impression on entering room for first time was that it had a closed up smell, which soon disappeared. Uneven floor. Audible footsteps in the corrider outside the door (there is a restaurant on that floor). Some of the room furnishings were on the older side.

Neutral observations:
No irons in rooms - there is an ironing bay on the ground floor
Entry to rooms are not via an enclosed corrider, but instead this hotel is built apartment style with rooms facing a courtyard.
Room decorated in a bright tropical theme - paint colors match bedspreads and curtains.

My wife and I spent 2 nights at the Golf View Hotel and were very impressed with the accommodation and customer service. The Hotel is well managed, clean and spacious. The staffs were friendly and professional. Everyone seemed to go out of there way to make sure our needs were met, free of hassles.

I would highly recommend this hotel to any one looking for an affordable and classy place to stay in Mandeville

We spent our Honeymoon at the Golf View Hotel. It was very pocket friendly considering our budget. Beautiful, airy and very very clean. Clean is always a big plus. Air conditioning was great, although Mandeville tends to be very cool at night. Wonderful employees. Nice size pool, but we didn't swim.
It was very close to shopping in Mandeville town. I would recommend a stay at this hotel to anyone on a budget, who would like to spend their money on other things beside their hotel room. I plan on booking another stay there for our next anniversary.
