I just spent two nights at Villa Kiva with my fiance and enjoyed the individualized care and attention the staff gave to us. We generally enjoyed our stay and how even when we went to breakfast at 11am, staff were still ready to prepare us something to our order. We would have liked to have spent more time relaxing there.... More

I was in for a pleasant surprise when I came to Villa Kiva. First off they welcomed us with mango drinks and cold cloths (something that I've never experienced at any other resort). The staff and management were so kind and accommodating, Gabriella (the manager) even took the time to show me her garden of fresh vegetables and herbs (a... More

This is truly a gem of a vacation spot. The hotel is located right on the beach, and it's one of the most peaceful and restful resorts you will find anywhere. The service is absolutely fantastic. The food is amazing. I cannot wait to return.

Villa Kiva is AMAZING. We had the privilege of staying at Villa Kiva just a few days ago. This hotel is more Custom than Boutique. They cooked dinner for us as late as 9:30 p.m. at night. Everything was tailored around us having a great experience. Gabriella, the manager, was charming, warm, and accommodating. We had a group of 10... More
