We had a very comfortable stay at The Vista. The rooms were very clean and well laid out. The food in the restaurant was top notch
The free breakfast is exceptional. The sunset was gorgeous over the bay.
Nice size room, very clean, nice view. Little touches like beach towels, glass coffee cups and umbrellas. Accessible to everything and the private beach is a short walk away. The owners are so friendly and helpful.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Made us feel so comfortable. Lovely view from breakfast area. Ana the breakfast server greeted us each day with a inspirational upbeat post.
Staff was friendly, and even let us borrow an umbrella for a rainy day. The room is an old school room, but very nicely done. Bed was firm, and by morning I was moving around a lot. Breakfast was nice, but limited. Views are great! I would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay at The Vista. The view of Good Harbor from the balcony was stunning. We loved seeing the sunrise and moonrise. The room was spacious and quiet. The bathroom was a little tight but was clean and every detail is considered for guest accommodations. The breakfast was delightful and we enjoyed sitting at tables under the tent and enjoying the fresh air and view.
The view of the harbour made this motel worthwhile! The breakfast was nice but sparse and for the price we paid, I was expecting more. Nonetheless, I would stay here again because the location was great, the staff was friendly and it was clean and reasonably comfortable.
