I enjoyed my stay at the Avista Grande very much. The service was truly excellent. Every member of the team was welcoming, gracious, and extraordinarily helpful. From the front desk, to the pool bar, to the restaurant, the level of service was top notch.
One room tip - when I arrived, I was "upgraded" to a Deluxe Suite with Whirlpool Bath. In hindsight, I should have skipped it. The room is large, but the bed is in the center of the room. No nightstands. The only outlet is not next to the bed, so one cannot keep a phone nearby while sleeping. The overhead lights were fully on or off, with no bed stand lights to read by before going to sleep. Pretty room, but not so practical. Strongly recommend the hotel, but not the suite.
