This is a small, family run hotel - the family are wonderful hosts! Nothing is too much trouble and they will see that you get anything you need for a pleasant stay - you just have to ask! It is very affordable and has a "laid back" " island time" atmosphere. Rooms are clean and perfectly adequate as a base... More

Returned to Rio Vista again this year with 15 Purdue University students. Once again the rooms were nice and Sharon's cooking was excellent! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the more relaxed part of the island. More

On arrival the hotel was very silent, but we were... More

The room was a little small, but clean. We absolutely loved the view of the Rio Grande from the room and it was great... More

I have co-led five study abroad experiences for college students. We have stayed at the Rio Vista each year. The setting is beautiful, the rooms are nice, and the staff is wonderful. The location is away from the major tourist resorts which provides for a peaceful, relaxed experience. I recommend rafting on the Rio Grande in the afternoon as you... More

I don't normally write reviews and such, but I had to leave a comment about Rio Vista. When we got there, we got upgraded to a Villa because there were some guests who decided to extend their stay there. No problem. When we got into the room, we saw one of the most breathtaking views ever of the Rio Grande... More

We had a lovely villa with a gorgeous view of the river. We were only there for a night but would have happily stayed longer. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful, and this is the perfect spot if you want to go rafting on the Rio Grande -- they'll arrange the taxi and trip with an experienced... More
