"The Sylvia arguably has one of the best views in Vancouver, a city which is recognized as having a lot of nice views on offer."
"The hotel restaurant was also great (I'm not usually a fan of hotel restaurants). Good food, and good views of the beach."
"The pub is the best and often has live music and I love all the added outdoor seating."
