I cannot say enough horrible things about this hotel- beware! I had never been to Bermuda before and was planning my wedding for August. I looked into ClearView and figured it was a good value for the money- I called the hotel and spoke to the owner. I cannot begin to tell you the lies she told- near the beach (it is a twenty minute walk away) beautiful suites (mice droppings and bugs) it goes on and on. I showed up with my family to find something that would not pass health codes- mice droppings, bugs, stains, musty smells, and mold everywhere! Never mind that I was in Bermuda for my wedding and honeymoon and my entire family had booked ClearView! The owner was horrible- she kept our money and was not at all apologetic about her blatant deceit! Meanwhile, Grotto Bay Hotel was a few miles down the road and felt so horrible that I had been scammed into Clear Views hotel that they honored Clear View's rate even though Grotto Bay regulary gets double the amount! Trust me, stay away from this hotel- it is absolutely disgusting- I have never placed a bad review before but felt I must warn others about Clear View

This humble abode away from home felt like a quaint paradise. Our room was humble but spacious with a gorgeous view. Waking up in the morning, I raced to the terrace for a view of the morning ocean. The staff was wonderful and so kind and the gouper was so fresh. The owner bidded us farwell in the warmest way and sent us off as if we were long lost relatives.

I have just returned from a week stay at Clear View and can pick out the good and bad points of the suites. We hired a 2 bed villa, and had the most stunning view of the North Shore, right on the cliff tops - ask for any of the upper suites in Rose Villas and you can't go wrong - it is simply breathtaking. You can even see the fish swimming in the turquoise waters beneath you!
If not for the view, however I would have been very disappointed and may have moved to a more modern hotel! The accomodation although exceptionally cleaned (- fully cleaned, hovered and fresh linen everyday) is rather tired and dated, and is in need of updating badly. The grounds are well kept and tidy.
Landfall restaurant is not to be recommended - we ordered take away which left a lot to be desired!
The suites are also located in a more run down part of the island and taxis would be recommended to get around at night.
However I was advised that at the end of this season the owners are carrying out extensive renovation work to the whole site - which is a large one. I think this will be needed if this is to stay in business as at present there is a lot of chioce on the Island. I will be interested to see how this turns out as this site really does have a lot of potential.
Overall, the stunning views and exceptional cleaning service made up for what the villa lacked in the style of some of the modern hotels. It really depends on what you are looking for.

If you are going to Bermuda for business or vacation, the best place to stay is the property of Mr. & Mrs. Gerald & Ruth Paynter. The Clear View has been most befittingly named because its panoramas are absolutely breathtaking. As a guest you will be able to absorb them from the private balconies and patios of spacious suites. The villas are acattered at the water's edge-an ideal locale for snorkelling and fishing.
Also Landfall Restaurant , which is open for breakfast, lunch & dinner is in a turn of the century home designed by architect and artis Donald M. Kirkpatrick. Stepping onto the grounds is like stepping into "old Bermuda".
