We stayed at La Vista Beach resort in June 2013 and are booked to stay there again this June. We loved it. It is a smaller, quieter resort but you are within walking distance of some more active places (Flamingo being one of them). We rent a 2-bedroom unit and it has a full kitchen with an oven (I can't speak for the studios, as I've never seen them). It is fully air-conditioned throughout. The pool at the beach resort is smaller and quieter, but we enjoyed that as we often had it to ourselves, or with only a few other people. There is a larger pool up by La Vista Resort (across the street and up the hill by their Hideaway Restaurant), but truthfully, we never ventured up there to use it. We enjoyed our own homemade drinks either by the smaller pool or from our balcony. La Vista is a very well-run resort with nice management. Sunsets are magnificent and you can watch as the cruise ships glide by. We have stayed in many different resorts while on island and have to say that LVB is one of our favorites.

P.S. - An added benefit, at least for us, was that we didn't get the constant 'buy a timeshare' push that we've often gotten at other resorts.
