This is my second visit to Villa Estancia and the goal was pure relaxation. In addition to its naturally beautiful location and luxurious accomodations, Estancia provides the perfect setting to get away from it all. The pool is never crowded and yet it's a great family place if you want to bring the kids. The service at the restaurants is top notch and the wait staff is very anxious to please. We enjoyed the weekend entertainment at the piano bar-Albert, the piano player was very patient and accomodating with the crowd that had assembled to enjoy his music. So relaxing was our stay that we only left the resort twice over the course of a 6 day stay. Everything you need is right there on the property. And if you do enjoy crowds, the sister resort next store has more than enough people to accomodate you! Our room was perfect and had every amenity you could imagine. It was like our home away from home as we were even able to grab some tennis rackets from the closet and get in a little exercise in between a ton of relaxation. I am excited about my next visit to PV since I know we will be staying at our favorite resort in Nuevo Vallarta...

We stayed Aug 10-16th and had a great time. The property is very well maintained. The service was the best! The rooms were spacious. We had a kitchen, dining room, laundry room, 2 bathrooms, and a nice size bedroom. Also we had a huge balcony. I have to call out the waitor, Rogelio, he was awesome! He knew a ton about wine and was a great server! On the last night of our stay we arrived back to our room w/ a bubble bath w/ flowers. What a great end to our trip.

I am sitting on the balcony of our suite at Villa La Estancia now, and am so pleased with our stay here I couldn't even wait to get home to write an outstanding review of our visit.

First, I know the staff here must see hundreds of guests come and go every week, but somehow they all seem to make you feel like you are the only - and most important - guest at the resort. Every staff member has been sincere, genuine and kind.

Demian and Lucio at the swim up bar kept us laughing with fun conversation and delicious drinks, and Mario, Omar and JJ at the pool made sure we had anything we needed for a comfortable poolside afternoon. We've been to many resorts over the years, and its not often that the staff knows you on a first-name basis and greets you warmly by name.

We came in the "off season" (August) and were told that the heat and humidity kept many away from Nueva Vallarta during this time, but found that having less crowds and fewer guests actually made for a better experience. We got our room upgraded upon arrival, and had the balcony all to ourselves (rather than shared) since there were no guests in the suite next door.

The food and beverage Captain Ernesto had a conversation with us at the poolside and explained that the resort ownership is less conerned with occupancy rates, and more concerned with the "quality" of the resort - something we could certainly see and appreciated. Every staff member we encountered reflected what Ernesto had described - a guest's experience here really maters to the staff and they see to it that Villa La Estancia's name is kept in high regard.

We walked around several of the other resorts in the area, and can honestly say that Villa La Estancia is by far the nicest with regards to amenities, grounds, appearance and overall quality. And I simply cannot overstate how warm and gracious the staff is here, and the top-notch level of service provided. We will most definitely be returning to Villa La Estancia again soon, and in the meantime I will be telling everyone what an outstanding experience we had here. Do yourself a favor and visit this resort!

The resort was beautiful, the staff was awesome, and I can't wait to go back! The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and very clean. The staff knew me by my first name by the end of my first day of vacation. They had top shelf liquor, and a good assortment of food items. Really a great vacation!
