I had an amazing stay at Vista Grande! The staff were welcoming and truly went the extra mile to enhance my experience, which made all the difference. The quality of food was impressive, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxation and socializing. The two pools each had their own vibe, catering to different desires, and the grounds were beautifully kept. My only minor complaint would be that I wish there were more dining options available throughout the day, but overall it was a delightful experience.

The pools were always inviting, perfect for both socializing and relaxation. However, as a clothing-optional resort, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I did feel a bit out of place at times.
