"Urgente cambien las Sombrillas de la Playa y los camastros. Todo está muy deteriorado. Las cortinas del buffet y habitaciones muy viejas. El a/c ruidoso y a veces no enfriaba. Comento esto para q el Hotel no pierda su majestuosidad del 2019."

Luxury  Villa on the Best Swimming Beach in Puerto Vallarta w/ Full Staff & Pool

Luxury Villa on the Best Swimming Beach in Puerto Vallarta w/ Full Staff & Pool

10/10 Excellent
"You can not a better vacation house. This is the second time our large family of 19 stayed at the house. You can not beat the pool on the beautiful beach. The staff are absolutely amazing. They take care of you- it’s a true vacation. Two meals a day, no dish duty, a pitchers of margaritas brought to the pool side for the adults and pins colada for the kids. House has plenty of room and all the walls are thick so you don’t hear every noise. They help help arrange everything you need from transfers, in house massages, and excursions. It is just magical. Can’t wait to go back again. We also had a medical emergency with a family member when we were there. The staff helped get the ambulance and even rode with us to help translate. They truly take care of you and will be forever grateful to them."
