I came here in October with a bunch of friends and had such an amazing time,. The accommodations are first rate, very hip, the open floorplan makes it perfect for a family or a group because of the large outdoor eating area, poolside bar and open kitchen. The individual rooms are spacious and breezy, with truly spectacular views.

The beach is private, waves were good and went for a afternoon kayak trip every day which was a perfect way to break a sweat then jump in the cool water to refresh.

The staff and the food were 5 star, always accommodating but not intrusive. LOVE THE FOOD, simple, fresh, tasty and perfect quantities. The margaritas were the best ive ever had. Cant say enough about this place, am planning on using it for a business retreat in march.

We arrived at Villa Violeta late at night and we were greeted by Pancho with margaritas at the ready. He had prepared a wonderful meal to eat at the outdoor dining area overlooking the private beach and crashing waves. Throughout the week Pancho continued to prepare fresh seafood and traditional Mexican dishes, each one better than the next. He made sure that everyone in our group, ages 1 to 40 were well fed.

Yesika, the property manager, made sure that all of our needs were taken care of. She arranged transportation, fishing, and surfing lessons for our group. One of our daughters got swimmers' ear during our stay and Yesika had drops delivered from nearby San Pancho within hours.

Cesar, another staff member was there to meet our daily needs. He fixed a clogged drain in just a few minutes and kept the paths and decks swept. After spending a couple of hours fishing from the beach and needing refreshment, we looked back to see Cesar approaching with freshly cut coconuts. Whenever we needed anything Cesar was there.

Carla kept us comfortable all week with fresh towels and laundry. On our last morning she arrived with her daughter who had brought candy treats for our kids. She helped us stay organized with our belongings and was great with our kids.

The staff at Villa Violeta truly enjoy making guests feel comfortable and welcome. Each person is a unique and kind. We miss them already.

When we awoke our first morning, one of our party, said that he felt that we were staying at a resort that we had all to ourselves. The main building is a comfortable place for a large group to meet and relax. The multiple bedrooms are private and very comfortable. The villa has multiple decks that overlook the grounds, beach and ocean. The photos on various web-sites do not do this property justice.

San Pancho is a lovely beach town about 15 minutes away from the villa. The people of San Pancho are happy to accommodate visitors and are generous with their services and time.

Villa Violeta is a bit remote and in the jungle, but if one is seeking privacy, excellent food, caring people and relaxation, this is a great choice. We will look forward to returning.

1/2 a day of travel was all it took to begin one of the most gorgeous, decadent vacations I have ever had. I was looking for a peaceful retreat- with plenty of activity to choose from should I need to tear myself away from my beach chair. The Villa is located on a private road about 20 minutes from the quaint, yet touristy surfing town of Sayulita. Although I love surfing, escaping the crowds was at the top of my agenda. Knowing I had options for night life and surf adventures definitely played a role in my choice of destination, but once I arrived to my private beach villa, there was no place I would have rather been. Coming back to the villa after a day of surfing is like coming back to heaven after a peek into the rest of the world.

The staff at Villa Violeta are incredible! They highly exceeded any expectations I had by anticipating my needs, making sure I was comfortable, well hydrated, and definitely well fed. For example, I don't think I once carried my own towels down to the beach. Talk about the royal treatment! One day while returning from a long swim/snorkel in the bay directly in front of the villa, one of the staff greeted me with a bottle of cold water and a frosty cold margarita that he brought down to the beach especially for me. That was probably the best margarita I've ever had. I was beyond impressed that he knew before I did, how thirsty I would be upon my return to the beach. The rest of his libations served nightly as we watched the sun go down were always something to look forward to after swimming, hiking, or lounging beachside or poolside all day.

Then there was the food! Oh my goodness, never have I eaten so well, while also staying healthy. Each meal was a work of art, served candlelight overlooking the grand Pacific Ocean. Think fresh home made chile releaños, ceviche and other fresh fish, with lots of salsas, and veggies to accompany. Breakfast began with a sprawling platter of fresh fruit and juice, followed by a multitude of creative egg dishes.

I slept soundly each night, lulled to sleep by the gently crashing waves just below my private bungalow up amongst the trees. Heaven. Sunrise from my bed over the ocean each morning was a breathtaking, transcendent experience.

What more can I say? I've been fortunate to have spent time at some of the most beautiful resort destinations in the world. Nothing has compared to the whole experience that is Villa Violeta.

We visited villa violeta on the recommendation of a friend who had stayed there previously. he was correct in saying that words are difficult to describe the property.

it took a while to take in, beautiful landscape and water, fantastic service, worked class food, tis was a definite escape from day to day life.

the staff was professional and friendly, it wad a very relaxed environment and an excellent stay.

unfortunately now when i think of relaxing this is the first place that comes to mind.

We had our wedding at a near by vacation rental and decided to rent Villa Violeta for our additional guests. We had 5 couples staying there most of the time and they all were very comfortable and had privacy. The entire property is well taken care of and there was no complaints from any of our friends.

But the staff is what sets this property apart from others. I normally do not like staff around while vacationing, but we were happy to have these people around. They were so nice and took care of what ever we needed. We hired the chef Pancho to cook three additional dinners for us, and they all were all great. They did an amazing job setting the tables up to make a wonderful sit down restaurant style meal. We had our entire wedding party come for the meals, so they had to cook for almost 30 people. They had no problem doing this.

This rental may not be for everyone because of the location. You have to travel a distance to get to this property and you are a ten minute drive away from the nearest town (San Pancho). I happen to like this as it creates a wonderful secluded jungle vibe for you and your guests. So if you're alright with the location, you will be very happy with this place.

And make sure you leave plenty of time for relaxing on the private beach. The staff had chairs set up for us and several kayaks for us to use. It was a blast... can't wait to go back.

Villa Viloeta is truly an amazing gem. I recently spent one of the most relaxing weeks of my life at this spectacular property. If you are looking for a private retreat where you will experience first-class accommodations, amazing staff, creative private chefs, and amazing ocean views, this is the place for you. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends and family. I’ll definitely visit again!
