Villa La Estancia - Riviera Nayarit

Amazing Resort, the best in Riviera Nayarit, Great Staff all of them, a few to mention Ernesto, Ramon, Fernando, Lucio, Nicte, Eduardo and the ladies from Concierge amazing. Beautiful Rooms, Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Bar at the Pool. I will definitely bring my family back to this Amazing Resort.

This hotel has a problem, they have not renovated the mattresses. Beds are lousy I laid down for a moment at my arrival and stand up with a terrible back pain, so I call the Concierge to complain about it and they send a pad and I had to sleep four nights in that pad. I found out that the hotel has not changed pillows and mattresses since its openning. Chairs inside rooms are not renovated they are defaced They do not have Wi-fi in the rooms unless you ask for a moden. The shower is not a shower itself. You need to rise your leg up high to get into that "shower" and has not any handle to hold to if you slip. There is marble inside very slippery. A senior citizen cannot be safe taking a shower in this hotel or having a good nite sleep. But... they have good cuisine in both restaurantes: La Casona inside and La Parrilla outdoor by the pool. They do not have an area for computer and printer if you need to work something out. They do not deserve the Four Diamonds they presume

My husband and I stayed for a week as a getaway for the two of us. This was a beautiful resort but lacked the type of atmosphere we have come to enjoy in Puerto Vallarta. This is a great location for those looking for very quiet and laid back vacations. The service was excellent and the food was gourmet level! Raul was so helpful and polite every time we needed anything. Also, Luis at the front desk was very helpful at our check in and for other accommodations throughout the week. However, for younger couples looking for nightlife and social interaction, I would suggest looking next door at the Villa del Palmar Flamingos. They are the owned by the same company but offers more for a younger crowd.

The grounds of the resort were beautiful and well-maintained. The staff were all courteous, professional, and helpful. We vacationed as a family of six and had a great time. Very relaxing, very quiet. No timeshare people bugging us while at this resort. If you're looking for a hustle and bustle sort of resort, go next door. If you like the quiet and less crowds, La Estancia is perfect. It would have been nice for the pool bar to be open a little later, but that's probably my only negative. Quiet time is from 9:30pm on, so no need to worry about loud vacationers keeping you up. This suited us well.

We stayed at this Hotel in Cabo and now in Nuevo Vallarta. Property is beautiful, modern and kept up. Rooms are modern and great. There is absolutely nothing that is outdated! Choose a Studio, 1, 2, 3 or Penthouse suite. Kids are welcome. Property is right at the beach and has beach access with service. It has multiple great pools. When at the beach, there is a Hotel representative, most times, making sure locals don't try to sell you too much of their pretty merchandise and watching your things if you choose to rent some water sport equipment. Service is excellent, very polite and tending to your every need. Food is great ranging from Mexican to American. Breakfast is amazing, it has everything you can possibly dream of. The restaurant inside the hotel is fine dining and very good. Most people are bilingual. Room service is awesome and very trust worthy. They will even leave you notes if they thing something belongs in the safe. No pushy sales people trying to recruit you to buy a time or vacation share. At entering the lobby you being welcomed by Raul and a lavender/mint scent that is being sprayed every 15 minutes. It will put you in a Spa like relaxed mood. Raul speaks perfect English and is very helpful helping you where you need to go and make recommendations. The pool has also a great little restaurant called La Parilla, Eduardo is one of the waiters who will help take your orders and Oscar Sapien is your Pool Concierge. La Estancia has also an amazing Day Spa. I has Marcelina give me a massage and facial and let me tell you, she has magic hands that will put you into a very relaxed stage if not put you to sleep. Great choice. Not super close to the Puerto Vallarta Boardwalk but nothing a Taxi can't fix. We highly recommend this place.
