La Vista — Restaurant in Aruba

This is a must-go to restaurant, especially if you are on the beach strip where the Marriotts, Radison and Ritz are located. The food is delicious and fresh, the service is excellent, and last night there was live music at dinner. The view, especially if you sit outside, is magnificent whether it is day dining or night dining. You look out on the palapas and the ocean, gorgeous. We had dinner there last night since we had dined there several years ago and the seafood buffet was phenomenal. Last night's dinner was excellent with good-sized portions and great service, and the unexpected live music. We went for a late breakfast/brunch this morning and the omelets made just for us were fantastic. The coffee and other available foods were also great, including fresh cut pineapple, melon and other fresh fruits, and the salmon. We will be back at least several more times before we leave....

There were times we saw he was literally running from one side to the other to take orders, bus tables, run food, etc. However it is still disappointing we couldn’t enjoy...

This place used to be the best! No more buffet because of covid. The breakfast is horrible now, everything is ala carte I ordered a egg white omelette with goat cheese, there was no goat cheese at all nothing said mushrooms in it and there was, the worst part was the hash brown it was a frozen deep fired hash brown something you would get at a fast food restaurant, unacceptable for a 4 star hotel. And they don’t serve toast with any of the breakfast everything is extra. There plenty of delicious places to eat On the island won’t be returning. And it sticks because we are staying at...
