If you love the ocean, pretty quiet beautiful beaches, nice water, GREAT people and want to be away from the crowds this is the place.

I've been coming to PVR for 30 years and Rancho Banderas for the last 10. It's location cannot be beat, and while the villas have changed hands several times, the new management are working to keep the accommodations up. Alberto and Gustavo at the front desk are especially helpful. I am an owner and look forward to coming next year!

Just came back after 5 days (April 19-23rd) at this this little piece of paradise. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. It's a smaller resort which made us feel like we were very catered to by the staff. There was no loud parties or wild guests to intrude on others fun. Our one warning would be... More

I visited Rancho Banderas between March 31st, and April 7th., 2013. I opted for the straight rental, rather than the "Semi-All-Inclusive" option. Firstly, I will say that the unit does need to have some updates. The furniture is getting tattered, the TV's are all tube type, non HD models (not that was using them anyway!) and the appliances are bottom... More

I have owned at Rancho Banderas for several years, and always feel sad when I am unable to take advantage of the wonderful, relaxing time that I experience at Rancho Banderas. It's a jewel ...far away from the noise of the city, yet close enough to a variety of places to go and shop. I am very happy to own... More

I stayed here with my family in December and it was a terrific vacation. The staff took care of all our needs. My parents both have restrictive diets due to health issues and the wait staff and cooks couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. They were patient and even cooked up special meals that weren't on the menu. This... More

We stayed at Rancho 10 years ago, it was still fairly new then and issues were acceptable then. Now however it is unacceptable. The clientel is 100% English speaking since conception, based on that the staff should be hired so they can communicate appropriately, instead you get waiters who fake not speaking English to avoid taking custom food orders.

We have been going to Rancho Banderas for 12 years and have never been disappointed. The property is small which makes it quaint and everytime we come back it is like a homecoming. Other owners and guests welcome you back and you pick up your friendships where they left off. The staff are terrific and try very hard to please... More

I just returned from my second one-week stay at Rancho Banderas. Both times we have gone we have been very pleased with the staff. From the time we arrived they were always friendly, helpful, and expedient. The facilities are good, but not amazing.
