Beautiful hotel with the most breathtaking views in the area. We stayed in the classic suite for 2 nights, which although outdated and on the small side was comfortable and suffice for a short stay. The staff and the atmosphere on the rooftop bar has a very relaxed vibe and the sunset from there is memorable. Sadly we found the restaurant on the 4th floor on the stiff side and also dated with average cuisine. We never noticed the other restaurant just below the pool area until the day we were departing, it looked more relaxed and updated. Unfortunately we did not get to use the pool but it looked amazing. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend Hotel Vis á Vis.

My daughter and I had such a lovely time at Hotel Vis a Vis. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, the hotel was in a great location with amazing views and the lift to ground level was so handy. We loved the beach club and the surrounding area. Its just a shame we only had 3 days to stay.
