I had a lovely week at Vista Apartments, where I enjoyed a clean and comfortable one-bedroom apartment with stunning views. The staff, particularly Bebe and Robyn, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location was convenient with a short walk to restaurants and the beach, although the apartment itself felt a bit dated. Overall, it was great value for money, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

My stay at the resort spa was marked by several disappointments despite a comfortable bed and convenient location. The maintenance of the apartment left much to be desired, with moldy shower curtains and several broken items. The limited services and rude management responses further tarnished my experience, making it feel overpriced for the quality offered.

While the hotel has a good location and is reasonably spacious, it feels quite outdated and needs some serious renovations. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful, but the lack of maintenance and the spa's unavailability were disappointing. Overall, I don't think it offers the best value for money given the condition of the property.

The rooms are spacious but show signs of wear and tear. We experienced a constant droning noise from the spa pumps, which made it difficult to get a good night's rest. They provided everything necessary, but the overall condition could use a serious upgrade.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired, especially with issues like the lack of a standard cleanliness seal and small bugs everywhere. However, the overall space was functional and offered a great view from the balcony. On the brighter side, the staff was genuinely helpful and friendly, and the location was peaceful, allowing for a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, amenities and dining options could be improved to elevate the experience further.
