My stay at La Vista was fantastic! The views from our room were breathtaking, but getting there involved quite a bit of climbing due to the hilly setup. We loved the pool area, especially the one right by the beach. Although a rental car isn't essential, having one could enhance your experience since attractions are limited within walking distance. Overall, it's a perfect spot for relaxation but might not be the best for those with mobility challenges.

I had an amazing time at La Vista hotel! The ocean view from my balcony was absolutely breathtaking, making it a perfect spot to relax. The rooms were charming and clean, and I especially appreciated the friendly atmosphere. However, it's worth noting that the beach access requires some walking, and the location on a big hill might not be for everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and great value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, which is perfectly located near a lovely beach and plenty of great dining options. The one-bedroom unit I stayed in was recently renovated, well-maintained, and had a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. It was convenient to have a full kitchen and two bathrooms. The staff were accommodating and helpful throughout my visit. However, the property does sit atop a hill, so it might be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, it offered great value for the price.

My stay at La Vista Resort was a wonderful experience. The stunning Caribbean views and the inviting pool made for a serene atmosphere. Although the hilly resort layout posed some challenges for getting around, especially for seniors, the close proximity to local shops and restaurants made my visit enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at this peaceful resort, which offered breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea from our balcony. The spacious one-bedroom unit was recently renovated and equipped with a fully stocked kitchen and two bathrooms, making it convenient for our needs. Both pools were clean and inviting, and the small beach area was a hidden gem. Just a quick 5-minute drive to local shops and restaurants added to the convenience. However, I found the dining options a bit limited as we mostly explored nearby eateries, which was a bit of a downside.
