Villa Montana Beach Resort

My husband and I stayed here for one week and loved it. Very impressed with clean and beautiful grounds, friendliness of staff. Loved relaxed environment - not like Miami Beach. Loved rustic decor of our villa. Also access to great restaurant and local food eateries - great cultural experience. Not close to tourist attractions- except for great beach. Wonderful and beautiful place to relax.

My wife and I stayed here for a week in May. We absolutely loved it. We stayed in one of the one bedroom villas with a kitchen and living room and dining. The decour is purposely rustic with a casual tropical vibe. More laid-back beach casual and not at all modern Miami Beach. The villa was in great shape, the service was amazing and the grounds are very well-maintained. And it's all steps from the beautiful semi-private beach, two pools and the open air restaurant (also excellent food). One downside is that you're not very close to your traditional tourist amenities. You can still find pretty much anything you need, but it will be from local businesses rather than US-based chains. You can find a Wendy's if you want to drive about half an hour, but affordable local places with rice and beans on the beachfront are much easier to access. Same for surf shops, horseback riding, etc. It's also a bit out-of-the-way so you will have to get specific directions. But once you get here it's truly a secure oasis of calm and beauty.

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at Villa Montana! Employees were incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and willing to help/please at every moment. Some staff names I'll never forget are Yhasmina, Sheila, Wanda, and Carlos. At Eclipse Carlos and Wanda were constantly making sure we were OK with our drinks... either beer (if sitting at the bar) or at breakfast enjoying the beautiful view and "Bottomless Mimosa"! One morning, at Eclipse, Sheila was even kind enough to offer us some ginger tea just because we had mentioned we had a bit of a hangover. I've never received that kind of genuine/kind service anywhere! That's an A+++ in my book. I was also amazed how the staff made a wedding totally transparent to us. I thought we would experience less than desired quality of service because of it- I was wrong: their attention and service did not stutter one bit. Just amazing. The food at Eclipse was out of this world... we tried the Smores Pancakes, Lobster based Eggs Benedict, Shakshuka, and Pulled Pork sandwich. All were beautifully presented and tasted like heaven. At the bar we tried the Eclipse and San Jacinto pizzas... (yes... they have a brick oven for pizzas...) Ropa Vieja Dumplings... and the Tuna Tartar Tacos. Again: out of this world. It was a real pleasure to walk through the property, between the beach, Eclipse, and back to our room... even other guests were incredibly friendly! The beach location feels private; the water is beautiful (turquoise transparent color). There were quite an amount of waves so it was no surprise to see people kite surfing at the distance. A spot to the far end to the right (east) had calm enough waves for us to enjoy bathing there for a while... then go back to the beach chaise lounges... literally falling asleep to the sound of the waves... talk about getting disconnected from work! Our room was awesome (we stayed at one of their cliff side properties; second floor); very spacey... the bathroom was huge. Incredibly clean, beautifully presented and done. Had a small refrigerator that was very effective in cooling our water bottles... coffee machine... and flat screen TV with cable and WiFi which we used once to watch an early soccer game in bed. We enjoyed the room's balcony while having coffee early in the morning. Our bed was big and very very soft... It was a real pleasure falling asleep there! We also enjoyed an in room massage service which I highly recommend if you've got some tense muscles from work. All in all, we really loved it; 10 out of 10 stars. We've stayed at other similar luxurious resorts in the island and although all are beautiful, like Villa Montana, I would recommend Villa Montana as the best one just because of their staff's warmth, attention, quality of service and world-class restaurants. Those are their key differentiators in my opinion. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will definitely visit you again!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Friends has a wedding here and it was such a great choice. Got to have the delicious food, hang out on the beach, walk around the nice grounds, and drink really great cocktails. Rooms were comfortable, clean, and convenient.

Since I live 10 minutes away, I've never stayed at Villa Montana, but I've enjoyed elegant dinners in its restaurant Eclipse, sitting virtually on the beach and watching the sun set while enjoying incredible food. Simply driving into the beautiful grounds to get to the restaurant and looking at the lovely villas is a treat. I just recently was involved in a fundraiser for a volunteer group I belong to assisting people in hospital emergency rooms. Villa Montana very generously contributed food for our event for which we are most grateful.
