Villa La Estancia - Riviera Nayarit

La Estancia was amazing! Not only are the rooms, pools, facilities, and oceanfront extremely clean and well cared for but the staff was extraordinary! My family and I had such a great time. Jesus, Angel, and Ivan went above and beyond to ensure our comfort during our stay. If you are in the fence about booking this resort, I highly encourage you to go for it! Jesus & Angel helped secure us a spot by the pool or the ocean every morning. They were up well before 7am ensuring everything was perfect for the guests. Ivan even bought my 1.5 year old nephew some medicine and hand delivered it to us by the pool. You can tell the staff really cares about creating the perfect experience. The swim up bar in the pool was one of my favorite spots! The drinks were delicious. Raul blended the best frozen beverages and Lucio was always so kind. Jorge at La Parilla even offered to make some parmesan buttered noodles, off menu, for my nephew. This resort is family friendly and the rooms are wonderful! Norma ensured our fridge was stocked with drinks and snacks every day. She was extremely kind and we appreciated her attention to detail. She even left us some cute towel animals. I would 100% return to this resort. The beaches were incredible and not too crowded. The sand was soft and we saw some stingrays, some pufferfish, and numerous other fish. The staff even provided the kids with some boogie boards to play with. Overall this was an awesome vacation that my family won’t soon forget. My only note is the food isn’t super vegan friendly so if you are looking for that I suggest Uber Eats or traveling to a grocery store to stock up on items you can cook in your room. The resort has some options but not many high protein ones. Regardless this was such a wonderful vacation and I hope to return one day. Thank you to all the exceptional staff!

We just returned from Villa La Estancia for our daughter’s and niece’s senior trip and it exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with incredible warmth and hospitality. The resort was absolutely stunning—beautiful beach, lush grounds, and spotless facilities. The food was a highlight—so many delicious options, from authentic Mexican cuisine to international dishes, and even picky eaters were happy. The staff went above and beyond every day to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. We also appreciated how safe, organized, and family-friendly everything felt. Excursions were easy to book, and we made unforgettable memories exploring the area. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and quality family time, look no further. We’re already dreaming about our next trip back!

First let me say that Bryan greeted us and was very helful on the very first day! He was the BEST! We were grateful to be invited as guests of elite members for this trip and appreciated the opportunity to experience the property. While there were some positives, the service throughout our stay was inconsistent and often fell short of expectations. There were multiple instances where attentiveness and follow-through were lacking, which took away from what should have been a seamless experience. Katarina met us right at check-in to explain the benefits of our stay. None of her promises happened. She promised 2 complimentary alcohol bottles to our room and a free city tour. Neither of them happened. We were also told we had a buler, Juan. He did provide us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary stay, then nothing...I met him once in 7 days. As guests in a member setting, I would expect a higher and more consistent standard of service. With improvements in responsiveness and attention to detail, this could be a much stronger overall experience.

Santana was 5 star Bruno and Ricardo were also exceptional

Another amazing trip to Villa La Estancia! Bruno and Ricardo made amazing shaved ice cocktails for us by visiting he pool.
