Its position near the Coral Reef of Smith Reef and the precence of the kitchen

A bit far from markets

Living room area was spacy and balcony/outside space was beautiful and large.

.Restaurants closed early in the evening. Wish they had vending machines for snacks and drinks.

Great views and amenities

I have so much to say in defense of Hotel Vista Azul - first off - I read the reviews and for all that left bad reviews I know the reason you booked this hotel in the first place is because it is SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER HOTEL ANY WHERE NEAR GRACE BAY! So a lot of the comments I dont believe to be fair because it is like HALF the price. The rooms are beautiful and spacious and have full kitchens - the balcony is incredible and the pools are so fun. This is not a typical hotel - it has more of a Villa vibe so you will not have all the amenities that you want but that's ok! The staff will still get you whatever you need and are so so so so helpful! Moesha made my visit so nice - I traveled alone and she helped me book all my tours, gave me numbers for cabs, offered me everything I needed from a replacement coffee maker to a wine bottle opener. My real feeling about this place are MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS - no its is not RIGHT on the beach - you do have to walk a few minutes - you do need to take a cab to Grace Bay where the shops are -but you are not paying $800 a night - its so much cheaper and I think in ways better because I had to explore a little and figure out things for myself - there are at least 4 great restaurants right by, a grocery store in less than a mile, and all the tours will pick you up at no cost. PLEASE DONT WORRY ABOUT THE NOT AS GOOD REVIEWS! Too many stairs? Thats crazy - its gorgeous and part of the architecture!

I do think that they make Grace Bay seem closer than it is - it is an hour and a half walk which was so fun or a cab ride that will cost you like $18 a person - so if you MUST be right on Grace Bay, then this is not it - but Grace Bay isn't everything! Its busier, and you will not find a full apartment studio for this price - I looked and it doesn't exist to Hotel Vista Azul is charming and great.

comfortable and clean rooms - good service

Room is Huge! Clean, comfortable and affordable. Plenty of towels and wash cloths, kitchen comes with everything you need, washer/dryer is a plus. Balcony is huge with a great view. Gym on site.

No elevator, those steps are torture. No ice machine, no vending machine. No breakfast. Restaurant on site serves lunch and dinner...food is so-so and expensive.

The place is beautiful but NO ELEVATORS!!! Had to carry all our heavy luggage up four flights of stairs. Pools were amazing. Patios exceptional. Ice cream shop didn't open all wknd til we left tues afternoon.

No elevators and no coffee supplied for rooms

- property was convenient and in a good location - for Turks it was good value Simone’s restaurant and nightlife was excellent

No ELEVATOR Flying in with large 50 lbs suitcases carrying them up 3 flights was miserable. at least the steps were 6” high for easier steps! otherwise it was ok.

The concierge was very nice and they met our requests

The room was not extensively cleaned prior to our arrival and we had to request deep cleaning. It seems like the concierge staff is receptive and polite but the cleaning staff needs more training.

room size and comfortable bed nice patio terrace

no complimentary coffee in the room...not enough dining and refreshment options.

Beautiful views from the balconies and rooftops. Close proximity to restaurants. Housekeeping was timely, staff was kind, everyone was welcoming.

Room had a slight odor but nothing that airing out the room couldn't solve. Water didn't get hot and only warm but once communicated the staff was all over it.

we liked the view, the 2 pools and hot tub. the room was spacious and the balcony was nice

we had a full size bed which was too small, there was no dresser to put your clothes, there was SO MANYYYYY STEPS TO GET TO YOUR ROOM. like 10 staircases to go up to get to your room. it felt like a workout everytime. there was suppose to be breakfast downstairs open by 8 am, the lady wouldn't show up until about 9, 9:30 some days.

I stayed at this property previously that is one of the reasons why I wanted to return. However the property is going down. the cleaning crew did not care about the overall cleanliness

what I did not like is the fact that my first night on arrival I went to sleep and woke up with bite marks all over my lower extremities. as I done with the person I. the office they did not care about the bite marks and was very insensitive and lack care. I practically had to beg to change rooms . it was bed bugs big time and they tried to say that I was bitten by mosquitoes. it practically ruined my entire stay .

nice restaurant next door Simone’s! she was lovely and friendly

staff are rude and unfriendly! requested about postage for a letter and she rudely said that’s what a post office is for… why is everyone so rude? you can say things nicer to guests! treat your guests with more respect! one time I requested for an office space as it took till 2pm to get our rooms cleaned. she rudely made a face and said this is the only space for me to work. AGAIN! she could have said it to me in a nicer manner

Superb shower

The bathroom door and the main door to the room look like they’ve suffered water damage. The doors had to be pushed quite hard to open and close.

large rooms, beautiful rooms

lots of stairs

It’s been a month since I stayed here and I still haven’t had my $200 security deposit refunded. Staff incredibly unhelpful when I call and just say it’s with their bank. Completely not acceptable, the first time I called they hadn’t even began processing the refund. Budget this into your costs as I doubt I’ll ever get it back!

The hotel is located in a safe area with several popular restaurants nearby and very close to a beautiful beach.

Room was clean and new

Reception staff wasn't really friendly. I saw I bothered her (rolling eyes) when I had questions. Which I had a few as I didn't know the area and didn't get a lot of Infos at check in. Was charged for the room before I even arrived and then the hotel holds the same amount for incidentals, but there is no mini bar no restaurant. Found that very strange

It has 2 pools which are good for swimming in mornings and evenings.

The hotel is in a run-down part of the island with most places being a taxi/bike ride away. The rooms are small and in shade.

Beautiful view. The properties landscape is amazing and very well kept!

Could’ve had more amenities inside the room….dish soap, sponge and a rag to clean the countertops.
