Villa La Estancia - Riviera Nayarit

Villa La Estancia on the Riviera Nayarit in Nuevo Vallarta is a marvelous resort. We recently had the pleasure of staying at the most incredible resort in Nuevo Vallarta and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest smiles and exceptional service that set the tone for our entire stay. Accommodations: Our room was a luxurious haven, beautifully decorated with traditional Mexican touches, modern amenities and a full kitchen. The spacious layout offered breathtaking views of the ocean, and every detail was thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort. The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, and the private balcony was the perfect spot for morning coffee while soaking in the stunning sunrise. Service: The staff at Valencia truly went above and beyond. Every member was not only courteous but genuinely committed to ensuring our stay was perfect. Jair at the Reception Desk and our Elite Concierge (Ana and Yesi) were wonderful and greeted us warmly with enthusiasm and a willingness to help. In fact, everyone from the restaurant staff to the the pool team anticipated our needs and always welcomed us with a friendly smile and a sincere "Buenos Dias!" which made our experience even more enjoyable. Restaurants: Dining at the resort was a culinary delight! With several on-site restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, we were spoiled for choice. Each meal was a feast for the senses, with fresh, local seafood and innovative dishes that celebrated the rich flavors of Mexico. Starting our day on the patio at El Patron and sampling the many delicious treats at the breakfast buffet was 'marveloso!'. The Japanese restaurant was marvelous with many tasty sushi and Japanese dishes to choose from. But La Casona restaurant was the highlight where we enjoyed many wonderful gourmet dinners during our stay. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and always eager to suggest wine pairings that complemented our meals perfectly. And the service and friendly staff were phenomenal! Our breakfasts at El Patron Breakfast were made memorable by a team of marvelous hosts and waiters. Laura, Angel and Javier just to name a few! They greeted us every morning with so much warmth and enthusiasm! Excelentisimo! And we can't say enough about the delicious dinners at La Casona. Jose and Juan our bartenders made perfect cocktails. Ana our hostess greeted us warmly and our waiters Miguel and Angel were gregariousness and attentive which made each meal stand out as a favorite. And we can't forget Maria our bartender at the Downstairs Slide Bar next door in the sister property La Palmar Flamingos! Pools: One of the standout features of this resort is its array of stunning pools. The multiple swimming pools provided the perfect oasis for relaxation. Whether we were lounging by the poolside with a cocktail in hand floating along in the pool, the atmosphere was always inviting and serene. There were plenty of shaded areas and comfortable loungers, making it an ideal setting for sunbathing or enjoying a good book. And the pool team was especially great. Jesus and Daniel our pool concierges were amazing and so gracious and generous with their time and attention. And we can't forget our waiters Ricardo and Santana who made every poolside meal a treat. They delivered exemplary and timely service with smile that made us feel spoiled! Other highlights: The water aerobics and stretch classes with instructors were amazing and made exercising so enjoyable and fun!! The evening entertainment on the patio at El Patron was fabulous. Loved the dancers too! Best folkloric show we have seen -and we have been to all the Villa resorts. A Special Note: This trip was to celebrate our 21th Anniversary and the Elite Concierge and staff didn't disappoint with thoughtful reminders throughout our stay. So much appreciated!! Final Thoughts: La Villa Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta exceeded all our expectations! The combination of luxurious accommodations, exquisite dining, and impeccable service created a truly magical experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a tranquil retreat, this resort has it all. I can't wait to return to this paradise and relive the incredible memories we've made. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable escape! We will be back soon!

We have been here several times and the service and quality is exceptional. We love how Jesus takes care of us at the pool- always so helpful and kind!

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Around the pool Jesus and Santana took exceptional care of us. In the lobby Sergio and is team delivered above and beyond service. Felt like we were family the whole 10 days of our stay.

Well, this was our third time back to Estancia in less than a year, and I truly can’t wait to go back already! My favorite part is the staff- they truly make you feel like family. The food is also just incredible, and they’re always SO accommodating to my dairy allergy! I’d like to name a list of people that literally made our day everyday! Jesus who sets up the towels is truly one of a kind!! I can’t say enough about him. His helpers Angel and Axel were great as well. The whole pool staff just really shines- our waiter Angel might be our new best friend, he’s amazing!!! As well as Lucio, Nico, Josue, Raul, Ricardo and Santana. Marcos at the blue grill was unforgettable, just adored him. The breakfast staff as well, specifically Lorena and Miguel, so wonderful. And then Yesi with elite concierge, just wow! She’s so kind and helpful and makes things so easy. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone as the amazing staff are truly why I want to keep coming back. Thank you so much for making my moms birthday trip so special!
