Hotels in Alta Vista

"Excellent location. Our only complaint was the ongoing work around the property. The workers were drilling, hammering and what not all day and into the night both near the pool and our room. We’ve stayed there a couple of times before so I wasn’t surprised by the work but it is a pain."

"The setting is beautiful. The amenities are wonderful. The staff are top-notch."

"Views are not updated on VRBO listing. A new high rise building has obscured the views of the bay and is not reflected on the listing. There is second high rise building being constructed to the left of the other building and there is a lot of construction noise from 8am to 6pm six days per week currently. Extremely noisy on the weekends and holidays from the front street. Loud music going from 6pm to 1am and beyond on the weekend we arrived. The small convenience store directly across the street and the street food prep directly below the condo have stereo blasters that is the hub of this neighbourhood. Impossible to sleep without ear plugs. The neighbourhood is very noisy with locals from 9am in the morning to around 12 midnight every night with lots of dogs barking, roosters bellowing, and locals yelling and orating loudly all day. The issue with this condo is the open air design. There is no way to close off the outside noise and you are exposed to constant sounds from the neighbourhood. Condo building is on a steep hill on Jacarandas Street. A moderate very steep walk downhill to the shopping and restaurants. A difficult walk back up the hill when you are carrying supplies. We used UBER and local taxi service. No instructions were given on the dipping pool. The owner did turn up the heat prior to our arrival and this was appreciated. The pool water dropped quickly after a few days. We had to find the hose and fill the pool as the pump motor was running dry and was super loud. We noticed very few bugs however we did get a few mosquito stings over our stay here inside the condo. A few days in, a man knocked on our front door and said he needed access inside to water the plants. We were not told this would happen by the owner previously. We reluctantly allowed the man in to water the plants. Two gigantic TV’s in both bedrooms but we did not use them. No TV in the main living areas. The Master bedroom bedding linens were stale and musty upon arrival. We had to wash all the bed linens and blankets before use. The Master bedroom king size bed has a deep soft pillow top on top. It is very soft, but we both slept comfortably. Not for sleepers that prefer firm to medium mattresses. The AC in the Master bedroom worked well and we basically had to turn it on overnight on low fan to drown out the street music and noise. The second bedroom is basically a “cave” with no natural daylight. The constant loud noise detracted from our personal enjoyment."
