Villa Santa Cruz is every bit as beautiful as the pictures show. The common areas, bedrooms and decks are very nice and well maintained. The views are spectacular and the location is perfect, only about a 5 minute drive to the pier or a 15 to 20 minute walk. And as great as the villa is, it is the staff, Ismael, Gabriel, Candy and Chano that made our time there unforgettable. They where a blast to be around and went above and beyond the call to make our stay absolutely perfect. They took such great care of us and the food was over the top. They made the villa feel like a home. This was far and away the best place we've stayed in Mexico.

We rented Villa Marbella for a group of 13 for my 30th birthday. The Villa is fabulous. The main floor is open air and has amazing views. Each bedroom opens up to a balcony with beautiful views as well. The staff of the Villa was great and provided us with amazing meals and delicious drinks. They really went above and beyond. The Villa is located in the hills just above old town. Getting a taxi or uber is very simple, quick, and inexpensive if you are hoping to explore old town, hit beach bars/restaurants, or enjoy nightlife. Overall a wonderful experience - we will definitely be back!

I am so happy with our choice to stay at Villa Marbella Puerto Vallarta. The staff is absolutely amazing. Lupita is an incredible cook and Leo and Alex are super helpful. The rest of the cleaning and security staff amazing too!. We are already considering staying there next year. I super recommend it for large groups. We were 6 families and it was super comfy and tons of space to lounge.
Great vacation!Jacques A. - Villa Marbella Villa Marbella February, 2019
We had a great time at Villa Marbella. Maria did a wonderful job as our concierge, from arranging everything at the Villa to helping us get transportation and charter a Catamaran, to advising us when one of the girls needed medical attention. The house stay was also excellent. Lupita is an exceptional cook and Leo offered great service. We are already considering coming back next year. Thank you!

Villa Marbella is amazing! The pictures on the website don't do the house justice. Ocean views from every room. Open and airy. There are seating areas everywhere, if you want to get away from the main action and have some quiet time. It's about a 5 minute walk down the hill to the beach, and about a 20 minute walk into town (or a 100 peso cab ride). The staff was wonderful - warm, lovely, and super helpful! Leo took such good care of us - he made sure our margarita glasses were always full! And Olga's chicken mole, green salsa, huevos rancheros, and guacamole were incredible! Our group is already planning our next trip back! Can't wait!

Absolutely incredible and very memorable stay at Villa Estrella Mar!! As everyone has mentioned in previous review the staff is outstanding. Nothing is too much to ask and they are always there to help with any needs. The food was also incredible. We love Puerta Vallarta for all the restaurants and stands, but Lola and Lupe knocked it out of the park with their Mole, Birria, and various fish courses.
We traveled with 14 of my friends and family for a 50th Birthday celebration and we just had the most amazing time. Can't wait to come back again someday to make some more memories!Heidi V - Villa Estrella Mar Villa Estrella Mar March, 2023
Estrella mar is hands down one of the best places I have ever stayed at! The entire experience was incredible and makes you feel like royalty; the staff is on their A game all the time. Where else can you go where they hand you a margarita as soon as you get out of the car when you first arrive? We loved our stay so much and cannot wait to get back down to PV and stay at Estrella Mar again.

This is the perfect getaway! Truly carefree living. The staff takes care of everything, and the only thing we needed to worry about was what to order for the next meal. The food was fresh, varied and delicious. I have food allergies and they carefully made sure they were never an issue for me. Breakfast included guacamole, bacon, a fruit plate: fresh mango, papaya, etc… We were well cared for. The staff was very kind and ensured that I could focus on my work with no distractions. All your needs are met. The villa is beautiful and spacious. Enchanted spaces were found around every turn, with the curved architecture and the Mexican art throughout, it had a delightful sense of whimsy. It certainly feels unique due to the art and the design. We had 6-8 people during our 5 day stay. I highly recommend this for get togethers. A couple of us would get up before breakfast and congregate on the balcony with the comfortable wicker chairs in the open air. The staff brought coffee as we watched the whales. There are plenty of other spots to congregate - by the pool, in the main room, on the balcony outside the bedrooms. One evening we invited friends over for the afternoon and evening. The rooms still felt spacious and worked well for entertaining more people without feeling cramped. It was very comfortable at night. You wake up to the sounds of waves on the beach and the smell of bacon. I had a sitting area, a shower and bathtub and huge dressing room with two sinks. The villa is right on the beach with multiple floors, each open with archways and decorated with artwork and flowers. The town is a pleasant walk away, where there are delightful art galleries to browse. If you prefer to take a cab to town, the staff will order one for you. One night we ate in town on the beach - the food was delicious. I would go back in a heartbeat.
