Grateful for every sunrise, every smile, and every memory

From the moment you arrive at Bay Vista, you feel like you're coming home. This beautiful family-owned hotel has created something truly special, where genuine hospitality and attention to every little detail make your stay unforgettable. The staff are exceptional-warm, attentive, and always happy to help. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and their kindness makes you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive until the day you leave. The rooms are immaculately maintained and cleaned to an exceptionally high standard every day. If you can, choose one of the first or second-floor ocean-facing rooms. Waking to the magnificent east-facing view is simply magical. Every sunrise paints the sky differently, creating a breathtaking start to each day that never gets old. One of the simple pleasures is watching the local fishing boats leave from the beach each morning before dawn, then returning later with their catch. It's an authentic glimpse into local life and surprisingly captivating to watch from your balcony. The head chef deserves special recognition. Every meal is beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and served promptly thanks to an efficient, well-run kitchen. Dining at Bay Vista is a highlight in itself. Bay Vista isn't just a place to stay—it's a place you'll want to return to. The warmth of this wonderful family-run hotel, combined with its stunning beachfront location, outstanding food, immaculate rooms, and truly exceptional staff, makes it one of those rare places that leaves a lasting impression. This was my 3rd stay at Bay Vista since 2022. Highly recommended. Five stars without hesitation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It’s was so clean and beautifully decorated. And the sea view insane! I think this is the only place in arugambay that looks like the photos on booking.com. The food was amazing, staff were amazing. I wish I could’ve stayed longer

Nothing. Staff were so great and helpful.

מלון מושלם, מתאים לנחיתה רכה, החדר עם נוף לים היה מדהים ומרגיע, אוכל טעים וצוות אדיב ואכפתי בעלי המקום שהם משפחה מאוד משקיעים ואדיבים. אהבתי את שילוב הפשטות יחד עם זאת שזה המלון הכי יפה ברחוב והמיקום פצצה מרכזי וקרוב לים הארכתי לעוד שבוע

Nothing!

The staff is very rude and inconsiderate. Not worth the price we paid!

היינו משפחה, שני חדרים. חדר שפונה לים עם נוף מדהים ומרגיע וחדר עם נוף לכביש.החדרים עם מרפסת, נקיים,גדולים ומרווחים מזגן עובד קצת רועש כי המנוע במרפסת. ארוחת בוקר מגוונת ומשביעה, צוות שתמיד מוכן לעזור בחיוך וכיף. מיקום מצוין על החוף ובמרכז הרחוב נגיש ברגל לכול מקום ובעיקר לחוף הגלישה המרכזי. המסעדה במקום עם אוכל טעים ומגוון ויש מרפסת בגג שעושים יוגה. מחיר יקר לאזור אבל יש תמורה מלאה
