I must give heartiest of thanks to the staff at Vista del Mar. We stayed for 3 nights in total - the last two in one of the 3-bed condos - during the New Year's celebrations. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were treated like guests in the truest sense of the word. The eve of New Year's, we were surprised to be met at the door of the condo with a bottle of wine, courtesy of the hotel. I don't believe that has happened at any other hotel I've spent the holidays, and it was a lovely gesture.
The condos were clean and spacious, and the sight and sound of the sea was a welcome respite to my New York City self, as well as the others in the family who were also grateful to have such a wonderful, comfortable accommodation in such a beautiful, relaxing setting.
I will most definitely recommend Vista del Mar to friends in the future, and would happily take the opportunity to visit again.
