Villa La Estancia - Riviera Nayarit

This was a great all-inclusive experience for someone who likes a quieter hotel, which I prefer. It was quiet, but still family friendly. The pool was beautiful, and there was a swim-up bar. The pool leads perfectly to the beach, which is stunning. The sand is soft and fine, and on a hot day the ocean is warm. There are a decent amount of chairs out to tan and be by the pool, but it can get a little crowded in the middle of the day. They section off a lot of the seating for resort members, which sits empty even if it's full. There is also seating on the beach. With the all-inclusive food and drink, you can eat at Villa La Estancia or the sister resort next door. The sister restaurant next door has many more and better food options. There is a semi-formal restaurant that does breakfast and dinner, and there is a grill by the pool that does lunch and dinner. The grill was pretty good! I never got to try the more formal restaurant due to excursions and events with my group. There was also 24-hour room service, which was nice and convenient. The room was very, very large and very clean. The design was a little dated, but not dirty or shabby. It felt incredibly private. I couldn't hear any noise from the pool area, I couldn't hear any neighbors--it was very quiet and private. There was a lovely deck that overlooks the pool and oceanview, which was nice to read on. My only real complaint was that the laundry service was very unorganized. We got four different answers of how the laundry process worked and when to turn it in. When we went to drop it off, they rejected it. It was very disappointing because we did what we thought we were told and there wasn't much effort to help us. Overall though a very nice stay and I would return.

We had an incredible experience, and a big part of that was the outstanding service from the beach staff—especially Gaby, Angel, and Jesus. From day one, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. After introducing themselves and helping us get set up, they consistently went above and beyond for the rest of our stay. Every day, our beach chairs were already reserved and perfectly arranged for us, making it effortless to relax and enjoy our time. It’s rare to see this level of attentiveness and consistency. Their effort truly elevated our entire vacation experience. Gaby, Angel, and Jesus, thank you for your professionalism, kindness, and exceptional service. You made our trip unforgettable.

The view was spectacular and the accommodations were first class. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful location and amazing service. Raul and Jair were always available to assist.
