We loved our stay at VLE!! Service excellence at every turn. Jair was very welcoming and helpful at check in. Jesus and Angel were fantastic by the pool and brought great energy, consistently anticipating our wants & needs every day. The pool restaurant service team was wonderful. Great food and drinks. Every staff member was friendly and accommodating. The property is truly beautiful. We love that it has a swimmable beach and the pool is stunning. We played pickleball a few mornings and walked on the beach to Bucerias. We had all inclusive for meals & drinks. It was perfect with access to the Palmar property too. We ate dinner at each restaurant over the week. Highlights were La Casona steakhouse and the Japanese restaurant for sushi and ramen. We traveled as a family of four (parents & young adult children) and this is our favorite resort. The two bedroom 3 bath is perfect. Very clean, spacious and has incredible views. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Villa La Estancia! The grounds are impeccable. They are constantly cleaning, landscaping and Jesus at the pool ensures you are all set up for a perfect day by the pool or on the beach. He is the best! The food is delicious and fresh. The rooms are just as clean as the rest of the property. We especially like the quiet, no entertainment atmosphere. But when we are in the mood, we have access to the property next-door, which offers entertainment, and daily activities.

Villa La Estancia staff treats you like you are coming home. In particular, Jesus Parra our pool concierge is absolutely the best. Energetic, friendly, and welcoming. He makes sure everyone is having a great time. He’s the reason we keep coming back!

We’re a week from our first trip to Puerto Vallarta. It was amazing. Just what we needed. We travel frequently to Cabo San Lucas and have stayed at the Villa Group properties many times. The VLE Riviera Nayrit held up to that standard. Beautiful property. Landscaping is impeccable. Staff is amazing. Jair set us up with an amazing room and was very helpful through our checkin and throughout our stay to our departure. Housekeeping was AWESOME! We don’t have names, but know we appreciated your work! We’re pretty regimented in our schedule so I’m going to break this down that way. It was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta so we stayed onsite and did the All-Inclusive. Daily breakfast at La Casona was great every day. We ordered the same thing every day, but that is how we roll. Pool time was just we needed. Lucio made us the best Paloma’s all afternoon. Ernesto was attentive to our needs and the best iguana wrangler this side of the Pacific. DO NOT FEED THE IGUANAS! All-Inclusive plan was worth it for us. We were out of our element being on our first trip here to PV. Once we figured out the restaurants between the 2 properties, we were good to go. Super big shout outs to staff….Jair, Marcos, Lucio, Jesus, Ernesto, Juan….and I know we’re forgetting others. You were all amazing! Beautiful property. Amazing staff. Awesome stay! We’ll be back!

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!
