The room was an ocean view and stunning! Large space and immaculate. An unobstructed view of Sunrise/sunsets was amazing. Pricepoint extremely reasonable during the week. I absolutely loved opening my door and sitting in comfy chair on balcony looking out on beach.

From the minute we arrived, I was very impressed by this accommodation. The location was fantastic, onsite parking is always a bonus and the lady who greeted us at front desk and got us checked in was so welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. The free coffee/tea/water/soda etc is also a wonderful service. We absolutely loved our stay here and could not recommend Rio Vista Suites & Inn more!
