After a first (lesser) impression upon arrival, you are surprised when you enter the room. Convenient with access code on the door. Everything is there, clean towels, nice shower, comfortable bed, plates/cutlery for when you want to eat something, coffee machine. Lovely terrace behind the room with 2 nice chairs.

I had a patio, wasn't viewable private but none the least I had a patio to myself. The distance was wonderful, close to the beach without the crowd, however at the top of a steep incline. A comfortable shower, a bit firm of a bed in a snug room. For the price it was top notch for access and affordable for a holiday weekend.

    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!
