Take a look at some of our most recent reviews from valued guests who took the time to share their feedback with us.
Amazing rooms, friendly attentive staff, delicious food and drinks, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! The gym is the best we’ve had at a resort. Gorgeous views everywhere. Fidel at the pool helped us get chairs. We don’t want to leave!!
My boyfriend, Max, and I stayed at La Estancia Riviera Nayarit from March 7-14, and it was practically a dream vacation. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Ivan was there to assist us every day—he always secured the reservations we wanted and had amazing suggestions for things to do. He even made a point to find us at the pool to check in and ensure we were having the best time.
Jesus and Daniel were also invaluable to our experience. They went out of their way to make sure we had seats by the pool, especially in the sun (which was perfect for someone like me who loves to lounge for hours). Their attentiveness truly made a difference.
The food at the resort was excellent—we never got tired of the options. We also enjoyed the entertainment, including the night show, bingo, and jet skiing. Beyond that, the resort itself was immaculate. The cleanliness stood out, room service was quick, and the gym was never overcrowded. Another great touch was how safe we felt—the staff made sure to log taxi and Uber details before guests left the resort.
I honestly don’t have a single complaint about this trip—everything was seamless. Normally, by the end of a long vacation, I’m ready to go home, but for the first time ever, I wished we could have stayed longer than seven days!
We stayed here a few years ago for a week long vacation and found it to be perfect for our group which consisted of 2 couples and kids. We only ate dinners off property so can’t really comment on the food, but the pool was nice and the swim up bar was great for happy hour. Good location in Nuevo Vallarta - walkable to Bucerias if you wanted to and a short taxi ride to restaurants.
Our 10th visit over the past 15 years. A perfect place to relax and recharge. All of the personnel from the beach/pool attendants to the wait staff to the housekeeping staff to the bell staff make you feel welcomed, special and cared for. Alma and Paolo at management and reception went out of their way to accommodate our wishes and some unexpected changes in our plans. Will for sure be back next year!

The staff at La Estancia make the stay amazing here amazing. Jesus deserves a raise! He works so hard for the customers of the resort to make sure everyone has a good spot at the pool. Thank you to all the staff that make La Estancia our favorite place to stay in Mexico.
La Casona is highly recommended. The service and waiters are all exceptional. Shout out to Carolina, Esmeralda, Lorena, Fabian, Daniela, Rufiro for the excellent service. You made our final breakfast memorable. We will be back! Hasta la proxima!
The place is fantastic, especially the pool attendants. Jesus and Angel are so helpful, efficient and friendly, they made our experience even better than we could have expected. recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and be in paradise! Thank you boys, you’re incredible.
We had a great time at Estancia! As always this place was 5 star. There is always someone who just stands out for us. Someone who took the service to the next level and that was Jesus for sure this trip! What an amazing guy! He understands customer service! This guy will make your day and make you feel so cared for.
We had an amazing time at Villa La Estancia. Our 2 bedroom room on the ground floor was clean, comfortable and convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners at both restaurants. The food was tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was also very good with a good selection at the buffet. We spent most of our time poolside. The drinks were tasty and varied and the lunch menu offered a good selection. The best part of Villa La Estancia is the staff. We found everyone to be friendly and helpful. As noted we spent most of our time poolside as such we would like to specifically mention Santana, our waiter, who kept us hydrated and fed as well as Jesus, the pool concierge, who is always friendly and constantly on the move to ensure everyone’s needs are met. Jesus is like a pool superhero - saving everyone’s vacation.
This was our 5th time at the hotel and we are booked again for Nov. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and the staff go above and beyond. A big thank you to Jair at the front desk for moving us to the 7th floor. We always have one of the gorgeous 1,730 sq. ft. one bedroom suites. Make sure you ask for a balcony divider - otherwise you will share the balcony with the adjacent B suite.
We had breakfast daily at La Casona and had the pleasure of being waited on by Fabian, Lorena, Esmerelda and Carolyn.
Lunches are served at La Parailla, and tend to be on the slow side in the busy season. That restaurant turns into the Blue Grill at night and the meals are first class especially the filet mignon. Bryant, Santana, Ricardo and Daniel deserve special mention.
Jesus and Gabriel had our umbrella, chairs and towels ready for us every morning.
We regularly visited the Flamingo hotel next door to sample their four restaurants, and also made good use of the lobby bar there. Maria always remembered our drink preferences and gave great service.
Our stay was lovely. Our housecleaner Felix Becerra was darling and took care of tidying up every day and worked quietly around me while I got work done on zoom calls. The restaurants were good and our concierge Yesi was on top of anything we needed through WhatsApp. The Internet worked for all my calls. Well done team!
We were at Villa La Estancia for a week and plan to come back next year. The weather was perfect and we had an amazing view from our huge room. Every day on our way to breakfast, Daniel at the pool would talk to us about our day and fix up the area where we wanted to sit and bring umbrellas as we wanted to be in the shade. We were at the pool most of the day, relaxing and reading and chatting with other guests. They even gave us a menu to order a delicious delivered lunch of our choice. It was really great to be able to go to the many restaurants at Flamingo, a larger resort next door. The beach which was right in front of the resort was beautiful and very clean. It was easy to take very long walks on the beach and we never came to the end.
The only negative which was annoying and time consuming was our bracelet room key did not work most days and we always had to get someone to come and let us in. There were several attempts by the maintenance staff to fix it as they could not open it either. Two days before we left they finally removed all of the associated electronics and completely replaced it. The staff was very apologetic.
The spa was really nice, spotlessly clean but quite expensive, much more than the US and the payment was confusing. One time they charged a spa fee of $35 and one time not. I was tipping anyway and she tried to explain but I just let it go.
We took a bus to the old town of Puerto Vallarta which was very easy and it stopped just in front of the road that is in front of the resort. There is also a paved walking path across the street that goes to the lovely fun town of Bucerias, about a 25 minute walk. It is full of vendors and restaurants. We easily took an Uber back after spending a few hours there.
The staff at La Estancia is just incredibly helpful and go over and beyond. A shout out to Daniel and Jesus at the pool. The people that work at the lobby desks were always ready to answer questions and just very nice people. They did some money exchanges several times for us us as we had only gotten huge bills when we ordered our pesos in the US.
Our trip was really wonderful.
A very nice resort. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Grounds and rooms are well maintained. A nice variety of dining options with goid food and drinks.
Our second time staying there and it was fantastic again. We went over Christmas and did see that they do struggle a bit when at full capacity (long check in wait time, running out of towels at the pool, longer waits for dinner, running out of certain food items) and we had a couple tech glitches (room key not working, wifi going down) but those are minor things. The people make the place and are fantastic. The food is good, especially if you stick with the seafood and Mexican staples. The spa is very nice and we had a great massage. Well kept grounds and very clean.
Wonderfully relaxing, excellent service, amazing staff
My family and I stayed there 1 month ago for a week vacation. The resort was beautiful, family friendly so calm and relaxing. Staff was super friendly. The 1 bedroom was so spacious and the view was amazing. We will definitely be coming back.
Customer service is exceptional.
We had a lovely time at Villa La Estancia! The room was wonderful - big enough to fit all five of us - with a kitchen and three bathrooms and an unbearable view of the ocean. Amenities were awesome, especially the swim up bar in the pool. Staff were friendly and professional, and we had everything we needed for a great vacation. With 5 or so restaurants on site, we didn't even have to go outside the resort. But we did anyway to visit the town. We will be back!
Best location, best customer service, the boys at the pool like Jesus, don Chuy , Daniel bartenders Nicolas, Lucio Daniel everybody super nice friendly people
Everything was wonderful! Great attention to detail and service at our rooms was amazing!
Great place for vacation, service excellent and great food.
We spent most of our time enjoying the pool and beach, and the service was excellent. Ricardo took great care of us throughout the day, whether we were by the pool or down at the beach. Our kids had a fantastic time at the Kids Club — they had a blast and always came back with smiles.
Mornings were especially enjoyable thanks to Lorena, who looked after us during breakfast with such kindness and attention.
Overall, the combination of relaxation for us and fun for the kids made this a perfect family vacation. We’re already looking forward to our next trip!

An excellent place for relaxing vacations. The personal is very kind and ready to help. Sergio the concierge made our experience even better!!
The service is exceptional !!
Jesus has taken such great care of us! His is the best! Everyone here has been so kind! Truly have enjoyed every minute!!!
Best place to stay in PV. been coming here for 10+ years with my family. Everyone who works here is top notch. Raul - who’s the bellboy has been providing excellent service throughout the years. Look forward to seeing him soon!
We always have a good time at the Villa Group hotels but this time Jesus Parra our pool concierge, made the experience magical. He saw to our every need around the pool and even brought us this great dessert today. Unsolicited, pure joy in his job he’s the right man for this job. 100% we will return especially to see Jesus!
This resort is amazing! The people take care you beyond what is expected. Jesus Parra helped us with our pool needs everyday and was incredible! I hope he is here when we come back again to help us! He was the best!
I would strongly suggest to anyone coming to PVR to book at this resort!
If you're looking for the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and authentic Mexican charm, look no further than Villa La Estancia in Puerto Vallarta. From start to finish, our stay was absolutely flawless.
The resort is stunning. Nestled right on the beach in the exclusive Flamingos area of Nuevo Vallarta, the property is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained. Lush tropical landscaping, elegant architecture, and sweeping views of Banderas Bay create a peaceful, upscale atmosphere.
Our villa was incredibly spacious and immaculate, with high-end finishes, a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and a large balcony where we enjoyed morning coffee and unforgettable sunsets. It truly felt like a home away from home — only better!
The staff are exceptional. Every person we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely eager to help. Whether it was the concierge, housekeeping, or the poolside servers, the service was top-tier without ever feeling stuffy or intrusive.
We loved spending time at the resort’s large, serene pool area, where lounge chairs were always available, and the swim-up bar was a fun bonus. The beach is clean and tranquil, perfect for relaxing walks, and there are plenty of shaded areas to unwind.
Dining was a highlight — from the resort’s La Casona restaurant serving gourmet meals and incredible steak, to the option of cooking in our villa using fresh ingredients from nearby markets. The flexibility was perfect for our needs.
We also booked a couple of spa treatments, and they were heavenly — the Tatewari Spa is a true sanctuary and not to be missed.
Location-wise, Villa La Estancia offers a quiet escape just north of the bustle of downtown Puerto Vallarta, but close enough to easily explore the city, local markets, and marina via a short taxi or Uber ride.
In every way, Villa La Estancia exceeded our expectations. It's ideal for couples, families, or anyone seeking a peaceful, upscale getaway with five-star service and genuine hospitality. We left relaxed, rejuvenated, and already planning our return.
Love this place. Wonderful staff, beautiful beach and pool area, close to the small town you can walk or bike to. A perfect getaway!
Villa de La Estancia is our family’s favorite vacation spot. We love coming here because it’s beautiful, relaxing and fun, but mostly because the staff is phenomenal. The waiters, hosts, porters, bartenders, housekeepers, pool and spa and garden tenders — EVERYONE who works here is professional, helpful, friendly and always has a big smile and laugh to share with guests. Thank you especially to Marcos, Eduardo, Diana, Lorena, Paloma, Kirwan, Yessi, Esmeralda.
The list goes on! Stellar crew, fun memories made and feeling restored after our ten days here. Already looking forward to returning :) Thank you, La Estancia!!
An amazing 7 night stay! We spent most of our time in and around the connecting pools. Poolside service was outstanding and we tried to take advantage of the happy hour every day. Lots of activities also at this location. Studio rooms were ample, cleaned daily, and kitchenette well equipped. We had a lovely view from our balcony. We received top notch service from all of the staff from the moment of our arrival until the time we checked out and left for the airport. I can highly recommend Villa del Palmar Flamingos and Villa La Estancia.
The service is absolutely amazing!! The staff has been more accommodating than I would have ever expected!! This is a place to relax and take a break from a fast paced life!
Our fourth time here. Great for relaxing. We will come again.
Our family was blessed by our mother and her husband to have a beautiful trip to Riviera Nayarit over Dia De Los Muertos. The staff were all so very friendly, helpful, gracious and down to earth. There wasn’t one problem there. Delicious food and the restaurants, swim up bar, room service if you are wiped out from vacation. I feel spoiled for vacations now. I just want to go back.
Beautiful place. Wonderful staff. Kid friendly. Such a great atmosphere! Will be booking here again in the near future!
This is our second time staying at this resort. Totally a vacation paradise right on the beach. Again, working with Brad and Joey was seamless. They are a wonderful couple who are very professional, kind and prompt. They make it easy to make our reservations.
The villa we stayed in accommodated two couples extremely well. We were comfortable with two separate bedrooms, and a large living/dining room space with a full kitchen. Our villa overlooked the pool and the ocean. We could see whale swimming from our fifth-floor balcony. We were able to prepare our own food from groceries we purchased about a half a mile away from the resort. The place is very relaxing with comfortable amenities. We look forward to coming back again in the very near future. We will certainly will again book with Brad and Joey, as we know we will be taken care of without any worries. We would give them, the service, and the property of Villa Estancia Resort a star rating of 10 +. Thank you for making our vacation very memorable.
Fidel Padilla gave us great service! We loved all of the amenities - pool, swim up bar, beach, and the rooms were absolutely gorgeous. We were upgraded to a one bedroom that was absolutely incredible! Definitely recommend
Our vacation was amazing, the views are so beautiful and all the employees were friendly and kind. The rooms were clean and the balcony had an awesome view. The food was yummy and the entertainment was good as well. Overall the experience was great! Thank you to all the amazing employees that make the experience amazing.
Shout out to Fidel and Sergio that take care of chairs and umbrellas. They are very attentive and took excellent care of us!
Also the guys in the swim up bar, Lucio and Nico are the best!
And the wait staff, Ricardo and Raul.
Running their legs off to take care of everyone!
Thank y’all for a wonderful time!
It was great! Norma was excellent in her housekeeping work! Food and staff were great. it was such a pleasure to come up to our room and find so many lovely touches. She always made sure all the amenities were taken care of and the room was spotless. We will definitely book our next vacation here. The staff have made the difference.
Beautiful property. Worth every penny. Excellent service! Pampered at every turn. Roberto at check in was amazing and helped our friends find their lost bags from their flight. He went above & beyond. Fidel Padilla took great care of us at the pool. Loved the turn down service. Food is excellent and rooms are gorgeous and clean. I am so looking forward to coming back.
We just returned from a two week all inclusive stay at the Villa Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta and had the best vacation ever! From the gorgeous pool to the well equipped one bedroom villa, the Estancia is exceptionally well kept and cared for. The service and staff were AMAZING!! Everyone from the hostess Melissa, to the pool staff Hector, Josue, Ebie, and all of the other servers we'd like to say THANK YOU!!! We can't wait to spend another Christmas with you all. Thanks again, Lori & Tom
Spent 8 days in early Dec. 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Had previously been to the Villa La Estancia in Cabo San Lucas. This property was much smaller and the experience was much more personal. As requested we had a one-bedroom ocean-view villa suite. It was very large and beautifully decorated with large kitchen, master suite, living room, additional full bathroom and large lanai overlooking the pool and ocean beyond. Everyone was helpful, friendly and professional. Tanya in concierge services helped us in innumerable ways, including arranging a lovely birthday suprise for me in our villa one evening! We spoke with her most every day, and she always had wonderful advice for exploring, dining, and excursions. Other notable staff members included Hector, Alex, Carlos, Christian, and Alex. Our housekeeping staff took exceptional care of us! There was excellent security here as well. I would highly reccommend this property!
Villa La Estancia is our very favorite resort, and the only place we choose to stay! The perfect accommodations, 1 bedroom suite with 2 baths, kitchen, laundry, wifi, etc; all the amenities to make you comfortable & feel at home. The staff is friendly & attentive; and cares for their guests! The restaurants are excellent! The pool is quiet & relaxing! This resort offers everything and more!
