Reviews for Villa La Estancia - Riviera Nayarit
Great family vacation spot!
Excellent resort, the food is outstanding, and Jesús is the man! All of the staff go the extra mile to make sure guests are taken care of. We will be back next year for sure.

The people make the difference!
We loved Villa La Estancia. One of the greatest things about this resort is the people who work there. Jesus and Angel are the best. They make sure you are being taken care of by the pool- so kind! We highly recommend this resort!

Pleasant, but will not return
We had a generally pleasant experience, but I would not return. The food was good, our room was very spacious, the staff was very friendly and eager to please. The beach and pool were both fantastic. But enough things added up to make this a '3 star' experience. -Despite being all inclusive, we had to sign a slip after each meal (it gave a chance to tip) but these 'bills' were extremely slow to appear. -People would lay out their towels and beach items on lounge chairs at the beach or pool and then disappear. (see pic) Chairs would be empty, but 'claimed' for hours. The resort has an official policy of not leaving your stuff for more than 2 hours (!) but I asked a staff member about it, and they said they never enforced it and it was up to the guests. This was *very* disappointing. Other resorts don't allow this and I would encourage La Estancia to do the same. -Getting food reservations was very difficult. You had to be an 'Elite' level member to do so. Our 'personal concierge' couldn't get us reservations. -Our personal concierge also hard pushed us to take a 90 minute tour of the property with our entire family (including small children!) to convince us to become owners. When we said that we did not come on vacation to endure that he took back our VIP card! -The TVs were not 'smart' and did not hook up to Netflix or other streaming services. -There was definitely a hierarchy for owners vs. renters. Ownders had official placards to reserve their chairs and got other special treatment. I get that as a selling point, but it sure made others feel like 2nd class guests. Again, overall our stay was pleasant, but I think some changes could be made to create a wonderful vacation experience.

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!
