BEST VACATION EVER!!!  Villa Santa Cruz had it all.  The breathtaking views, beautiful decor, and all the modern amenities you can ask for. But the very best part was the amazing house stuff.   The house was always super clean and and  everything working in tip top shape. The chef ,Gabriel, was excellent!! Everything he cooked was perfect and we never craved anything from town. Ismael, the Houseman, did it all and  was very attentive to all our needs. He made any last minute reservations we needed, have  private transportation arranged, and to top it off made the best pool side drinks! The villa was located at the very top of Conchas Chinas, but the 15 minutes walk downhill to the beach was not bad and there were always taxis at the bottom to give you a ride back up.  We will be back to Villa Santa Cruz!

We celebrated my partner's 42nd Birthday with a group of 15 friends. Carla, Ismael, Gabriel, Candel and Channo from the bottom of all of our hearts.. We thank you and appreciate you. And after spending a week with you in close quarters, we miss you! If only life was this easy.. Candel cleaning up after us, while Ismael arranges our travels and brings us coffee, and Gabriel cooks us world class cuisines.. You all truly made us feel like celebrities. ❤️❤️ I highly recommend and will certainly return annually. Besos

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!

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!
