My family stayed at Vista Tala Resort. We rented cottage near the infinity pool and the cliff. The resort has 2 infinity pools facing the beautiful view of mountains and you can see clouds touching the mountains. Because the resort is located on the top of the mountain, you can feel the cold air touching your skin. We enjoyed all the facilities offered by the resort especially the view and the peaceful ambiance.
