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."

Costa Sur All Inclusive Classico Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel and have stayed here three times. We deeply regret their decision to become an all inclusive this Spring. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go out to eat and enjoy the town, we are not interested in staying in the hotel all the time or paying for food we wont eat. I hope they reconsider this decision, we would return if they did."

"Good price for the area. Was described perfectly. Host was very hospitable. I would stay there again."

San Xoaquin Casa Ventana al Mar, Luxurious Jungle Retreat with Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ventana al Mar. The host was very helpful and responsive. The house was about 30 minutes from the airport in a safe, secluded, gated neighborhood between the Hyatt and the Hilton. It was a 5-minute uber ride to playa los Muertos and restaurants. We had a hard time getting grocery/food delivery to the house because it is a new build and the address wasn’t showing up on the apps. That was a bit of a challenge but we were able to get it figured out for most of our deliveries at the end of our trip. The host brought us water when we were having issues with deliveries. Ubers/Lyfts were easy to get to the house. Coordinate having groceries at the house upon arrival with the host. The house is very open concept which resulted in coatis coming into the house and getting into the food in the kitchen, even the drawers. Just beware of securing food in the pantry. Also, the downstairs rooms are open concept so we didn’t feel comfortable having the kids sleep in the bunk bed room without an adult. We could hear traffic from the main road in a couple of the rooms but the AC/sound machines helped. We had such a blast in the pool and outdoor area. It was a super comfortable space for our two families (2 adults, 2 kids each family) and one grandma. Beautiful views and the host was exceptional!"

Beautiful Spanish Style Villa with Ocean View,100 steps from the Beach

"Great stay - only negative was the constant traffic noise and construction nearby. Elba the manager and Alma the housekeeper wonderful!"

Casa de Rada --- Beach / Ocean Front Penthouse Condo on the best beach

10/10 Excellent

"Ken was an amazing host with quick responses. The location was great for us as we were travelling with an elderly Father and the quieter pace of Play Gemelas was much preferred with options to go into town. Would highly recommend this place. Seeing whales every morning and the odd manta a sting ray from the balcony was a huge plus. Thanks for a great Christmas vacation! "
