Awesome Atrium

Historic stucco hotel has so much charm, the atrium is briming with plants and the covered pool make it a perfect oasis after a sunny day at the beach.

A perfect retreat

I love Alta Vista. It's so well done. The decor is reminiscent of old Mexico but has all the modern conveniences. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. It's quiet and cozy yet very close to all the attractions.

Clean, Quiet, Perfect

This is our second time to stay at this beautiful Vista! We love it and can't wait to come back. The rooms are clean and comfy with lots of space for everyone! My family of 4 absolutely loved it. My favorite part is the location and the pool. You can go across the causeway and spend the day at the beautiful beaches, then come home to a quiet and private getaway! Away from the hustle, bustle and party scene on the island.

Loved this property!

We had a wonderful experience at the Alta Vista Apartments. The decor was beautiful and the area was quiet and peaceful. The beds were comfortable and felt like a home away from home. My kids had a wonderful time in the pool after being at the beach and I'm already planning for our next stay. Would love to bring family and book the whole place up. We will be returning. It was a lovely place. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, Peaceful - Best Kept secret!

We had a beautiful time! So excited to have found such a chic place out of the fray for the 4th of July craziness but close enough to the island to enjoy all it has to offer. The pool was great- everything was SO clean..beautiful decor..most definitely eager to return

spacious, clean and charming

This unit was absolutely charming, the whole property was in fact. We were happy to be away from the craziness of the Island but close enough to enjoy the beach and return to the quiet of PI. The unit has 2 bedrooms and a pull out couch so I would say that 6 can comfortably sleep here, although the 2nd bed was a full so you would really have to like the person you were sleeping with. The beds were comfortable and clean. I was thrilled to find the unit stocked with plenty of linens, paper goods, dishes and even a few days of coffee and creamers. We will definitely book this location again.
