Hotel Vista de Olas

Today I brought my mom and her friends here to enjoy the pool for sunset as well as some food and drinks. The view is undeniably stunning and one of the best spots for sunset in town. Ronaldo and the rest of the staff worked so hard and were so kind while accommodating everyones needs. We really appreciate their hospitality and excellent service. I would definitely come back.

If you’re in Santa Teresa this is an amazing place to see the sunset and have some good food and drink. MAX is amazing - one of the best people we have ever met - welcoming, fun and inviting. We came the first day and had such a good time we had to come back for a second. The problem with the second day Max was not at the bar to deal with us. Max was working harder than anyone else at the restaurant and we had to deal with someone else. This was not a good experience. We ended up leaving because of comments and feeling uncomfortable because of this person. This is a 5 star review despite this. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back. Max is welcome in my home any day. To the restaurant- Please find someone else besides the person we delt with to make drinks and order food. If it’s not Max we don’t want to come back because of the last situation. I understand if you don’t like your job - but we are on vacation and don’t have to deal with your problems. Max - you are an all star and family to us. Thank you for everything

The views are stunning, especially at sunset. Rooms are spacious and clean. Bathroom and showers are outside, but clean. Those are the good things, but these plusses are more than offset by negatives. 1. The owning family and most of the staff are unwelcoming, to the point of hostility. Clients are treated as an undesirable visitor who is needed to hand over money 2. Meal times and drinks are only available between 730 am and 8 pm. As most tours leave earlier, we ended up not having breakfast half the time we were there. Staff are cleaning up around you from the night before when breakfast is served. 3. Every request is met with hostility - even a request to have breakfast promptly at 730 was met with hostility and not served 4. No wifi in the rooms. Only at the reception and pool area, which is closed with lights off at 8 pm 5. The road up to the resort is very steep and full of potholes. The hotel is far from town and the beach, so you need transport 6. Rooms are way overpriced for the quality of the hotel 7. Sunset view is great but marred by the teenagers who flock in each evening to drink in the pool and watch it. If that’s not your scene, stay away from this mediocre and unfriendly place
