Really fine location and super clean room with a great view (6/19 to 6/22)

June 26, 2025

Staff was super nice. Room was clean and modern. Bed very comfortable. Balcony view of pool and on to the Atlantic was great. Morning breakfast was simple (fruit, breads, yogurt, coffee, juices, hard boiled eggs) but filling. Big Kudos to Ana who was super sweet and friendly to all as she provided guests their breakfasts. The covered breakfast seating area was perfect for conversation over second cups of coffee. We’ll be back in two years and plan to stay here again. Gloucester Hotels are pricey and The Vista was no exception – but compared to one in the Marina, this was soooo much better. Room 40 on the end of the second floor can’t be beat!

Another Great Time at The Vista

June 25, 2025

My husband Phil and I made a visit to the Vista from June 8th to the the 13th. What a great time we had as always! Mike, Tia, and MC were awesome! We would not even consider going any where else for our summer getaways! See you in August ( with friends), and again in September ( just us).

Thank you Laura and your wonderful staff!

Daughters Half Marathon Trip

May 14, 2025

Traveled from NJ to see my daughter run her first Half Marathon…and she did great. Location of Vista Hotel on top of the hill overlooking the Good Harbor Beach and ocean was spectacular. While sitting outside on our private balacony you could actually hear the waves breaking. The room was very nice and clean and the landscaping was beautiful, such prestine grass and so much of it. Unfortunately I mistakenly took room key with me so Tia/Sandy it’s in the mail as we speak and thank you for your hospitality. I’ll certainly be back!!!

Good afternoon, my friend,

We’re thrilled you had a spectacular visit at The Vista. We’re sure your daughter totally rocked in the marathon and we were more than happy to help make that experience even better for you. We appreciate you returning the room key and have already received it by mail. We look forward to your next arrival and wish you nothing but good times and greatness until then.

All the best, Tia

There are beautiful jelly fish on the right side of the ocean just over the bridge. Beach is carry in carry out.

We met the owner, who is a very nice and helpful gentleman.   The location on top  a hill makes for good viewing and picture taking.  They have a pool, but wasn't open for the season , yet.  Our next trip in May, we will enjoy the pool.

The view is lovely. It was not very busy when we were there but there was a nice continental breakfast available.

Les chambres sont beaucoup plus belle en vrai qu’en photo. C’est très propre et l’hôtel est très bien entretenu. La dame qui nous  m’accueillie fut souriante! gentille et très professionnelle.

Excellent staff, family friendly, superb continental breakfast, spaceous rooms for families with kids.  If you are seeking an affordable getaway for a family of five with three younger kids then this is the place to be, including the said eateries I noted,  you will have the most awesome experience here, every stay!
