We stayed at Rio Vista for five nights in January of 2013 while exploring the gorgeous north-east coast of Jamaica and can't recommend it enthusiastically enough. Sharon Miller is the owner and host of this beautifully situated niche resort. Rio Vista could definitely bill itself as an "eco-resort" because it is spectacularly positioned overlooking the majestic Rio Grande River on... More

Yes, this property does have a good view of the Rio Grande but that does not make it paradise. You will hear road noise, dogs barking, and radios blaring from the adjoining houses all night. Yes, I know that is part of the experience, but it is overdone in this area. We could not turn on the A/C because the... More

I stayed with Ms Sharon in March 2012. Her property is the most majestic place in Jamaica. The service is outstanding. The views are remarkable. The two room cottage we had was outstanding. I have stayed in places all along the north coast of Jamaica and the Rio Vista is the best by far!! I have recommended the Rio Vista... More

Perched between the Rio Grande and the sea this collection of cottages and suites is the ideal place to chill out and visit some of the lesser known places in Jamaica. We were upgraded to the honeymoon cottage, Amore, with unmatched views over the Rio Grande. For food you discuss your requirements in advance with the charming hostess and cook,... More

Sharon Miller is a wonderful host and a fabulous cook as well. She and her staff provide exceptional service at a very affordable price. Rooms and cottages are nicely maintained and... More

Our villa faced the deep blue ocean waters. Ohmigoodness! I didn't want to leave. Our bed was soooo comfortable. The only drawback was that I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a lizard on the ceiling. I am deathly afraid of lizards, but even I'm able to accept that. Afterall, I am in the Tropics. Very... More

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.
