the view of ocean and surroundings

not important really

nice location on Gringo Hill far enough away from the noise of the center. only a few blocks to the beach & lots of restaurants. cute studio with nice bathroom, living room, tiny kitchen & bedroom.

lots of stairs!

Liked the location and rustic charm. Antonio was a great and accommodating host. The size of the suite was impressive. The view was also great.

There were a few tired or broken things that could have been repaired or replaced. The noise from the street and adjacent properties was overbearing at times, no fault of Vista Villas. The chairs and couch could use some cushions.

pool

the rooms are getting old and the appliances are poor and there are ants in the kitchen

Close to main town square. Great view of ocean from deck. Friendly staff.

Could have been a little cleaner when we checked in , ie: top of fridge, stove.

- Location was central although because it is up the hill anyone with mobility issues should choose another location - size and layout of the unit was good

- The kitchen was poorly stocked, no kettle, one glass. - The gas stove did not work - The quality of the furnishings was poor and uncomfortable to sit on. - the wifi in our room was weak but did work

The property is in a great location to downtown and the beach. Only a short walk up a hill (or 38 stairs on the shortcut). Staff were very responsive to issues we had. Beautiful views from the large pool, but it's at the property next door- grab your towels at reception on your way out.

The pictures and description are a bit misleading. We had a queen room with ocean view, included a kitchenette. What wasn't obvious, or maybe I just missed it, is that the kitchenette is shared with two other rooms. It was originally an apartment with three bedrooms. This wasn't a huge problem for us since we were eating out, but if you aren't expecting, or used to it, it might be for you. The balcony is also shared with the other units. I'm not sure if all the room are the same.

Overall it was an OK experience. Cleaning lady and maintenance guy are very friendly compared to the manager. The location and the larger pool (which is detached to the property) where nice.

The original post does not mention that the unit is shared. They have split each room in the apartment. While the kitchen, living room and balcony are shared with other guests. Once we arrived at our room we realized the walls were stained (room and bathroom). When we brought this up the manager with somewhat of an attitude told us that it wasn't their priority. The only access stairs to the apartment always seemed to be wet which I in my 30s almost slipped multiple times. The shower doors didn't not close properly and the bathroom floor was constantly wet, seemed like there was a leak there too. Also we found mold around the ceiling in the bathroom. They only painted the stains on the wall but did not address shower leak or mold. Apparently the couple sharing the room next to us made a noise complaint for us having music playing from our cellphones at 11pm.

great size. 2 AC units. great shower, pressure and heat.

nice view, and cozy

no hot water

nice size decent view affordable

kitchen lacked many things weird design to building lack of English was a problem

I loved the character of this place. Felt very authentic. Things were outdated but in the best way possible. After my time was up in that room I moved to the King Suite with a private pool overlooking the ocean, it was amazing

The first room I was in did not have a very comfortable bed. And the faucet on the bathroom sink was loose, so sometimes water would splash down under the counter. And the shower could have been cleaner.

todo el personal muy amable, todo cercas

Great location to town, fast wifi, hot shower & great water pressure! the villa is dated, but it is still quite lovely especially for the price & it is CLEAN - which is very important to me, personally. you can tell that there is still effort put into making what is already there work. great views & just peaceful. awesome for a quiet night away from the lively center of town.

the bed was hard. it wasn’t an issue for one night or maybe for someone else, but even then, that still wouldn’t deter me from booking again. a thicker blanket on top of the bed sheet would be great, as well. the villa is up a hill, so be prepared for the walk as well!

The room was spacious, the balcony was nice, had working AC in the room, and the staff was nice

The door going into the balcony was broken, so I got locked out, musing mechanism to unlock from the outside.

nice vice toward beach. very quite.

the steep walks to get there, but I guess it is part of the fun.
