We just returned from a great week at Estancia. The highlight was the planet’s best pool concierge team, led by Jesus. The room was clean and comfortable and the service was great by everyone. I liked all of the food at each of the restaurants and we dined in almost all of them. It looks like an additional restaurant is currently under construction too. The butlers were always right on time with our daily coffee and hot chocolate delivery. Estancia has a quieter pool scene than her next door resort; we spent time at both. Thanks for a great week!

The overall experience was good, and for reasons that are based on the tensions of racism. Indigenous people still experience racism and discrimination, and it’s unfortunate that despite spending the money to rest and relax in places like La Estancia there’s a divide between who receives the excellent service and who receives good service. The staff in the restaurant are amazing! Many thanks to Lorena, Giancarlo, Jorge, Jacqueline, Bruno, and Esmeralda for always making us feel welcomed! The attending staff who serviced our rooms, seated us at the pool or generally assisted us in some way were all helpful but lacked the energy and enthusiasm that seemed to be provided for white people. We vacationed here to honour the memory of my late mother and so it was important for us to feel some semblance of connection and peace. I am grateful for the overall experience and I hope someday that we can all get to know and share excellent service no matter our ethnicity.

We were staying here with our friends to celebrate our friends wedding. It was a perfect getaway. The staff were phenomenal - particularly Jesus Gabino who greeted us by name and enthusiastically made sure we had everything we needed poolside each day.

Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico was incredibly beautiful. The suite and facilities were elegant and impeccably maintained. The staff was always professional and helpful; there were no sales pitches, ever. The restaurants on the meal plan were very good, and we did not feel the need to leave the resort for meals. This was certainly the most relaxing and overall best vacation we've taken in years. I would go back again in a heartbeat!
