We just wanted to thank Rene, Walter and Isabel again for all you did to help make our Puerto Vallarta stay so enjoyable. You were all so kind and gracious to us and we do appreciate the way you spoiled us while we were there. Villa Encantada is a lovely place and the owners are fortunate to have you as their staff. Thanks again for everything!

Thank you for the opportunity to rent your Villa. It was a great experience for my entire family. I will certainly recommend this to all my friends. Your staff is great and very accommodating. We got spoiled by Walter’s cooking. My family wanted to bring him home with us. J Kidding. Seriously, I have been to PV 2 other times and this by far was the best experience yet.

From the moment we arrived at the Villa we were made to feel right at home. Isabel, Alex and Walter were simply fantastic!! The location of the Villa and the sights from anywhere inside are truly world class. The architect who designed the villa hit a home run. It comes with stunning views of the ocean and breathtaking sunsets each night. The layout of the building allowed all 10 of us to feel comfortable and allow everyone to have enough space to enjoy a vacation of a lifetime. The meals were extraordinary, the housekeeping was impecable and the overall experience was one for the ages. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is thinking about travelling to Puerto Vallarta to mark Villa Encantada as the place to be…..I guarantee you will not be disappointed….heck, we’re even talking about returning there next year.

My family and I stayed 10 nights at the Villa Encantada in Puerto Vallarta. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded.. The Villa was amazing. It was large, well appointed and beautifully lit. We were amazed how comfortable 7 adults and 3 children could be in a 5 bedroom estate. The villa was so beautiful and self contained, we almost had no need to explore the rest of Puerto Vallarta. The staff on hand (Alex, Isabel and Walter) catered to our every whim. Alex was always on hand with helpful tips and suggestions for activities around town as well as any Spanish to English translations, that we often needed. The always smiling Isabel, made sure the villa was clean and well stocked. Walter, the chef, was a magician in the kitchen. From his tasty Pina Coladas at poolside to the local lobster, Walter gave my family and I a culinary master class with every meal. At breakfast, the mango and cream cheese crepes, were the all-around favorite by a landslide. Having all of the conveniences of home really added to our comfort. The large, flat-screen TV really helped with the young ones. Having the satellite TV, the kids could watch all of their shows and cartoons. A welcome amenity when the adults needed an afternoon nap. The villa was very well connected. I had access to high speed wireless internet for my laptop and free phone service to Canada. Overall, I have but one complaint; it was over all too soon! Highly recommended, 5 stars.

I wanted to let you know that our stay at the villa was amazing. Besides two days of heavy rain, every other aspect of our trip was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and at home. I don’t even think I had a chance to put down my bag before diving into Walter’s fresh guacamole and margaritas. My group of friends had nothing but positive things to say about the villa experience. Every meal was exceptional. Alex and Walter really went above and beyond to make sure Dan’s birthday was special. The lobster dinner, tres leches cake and pinata were perfect for our last night in PVR. Many thanks to you as well, for helping coordinate the stay!
Another thing – The views from the pool and bedrooms are amazing. We knew about jungle/ocean views, but I don’t think we were expecting this caliber. Maybe hyping it a bit more on the website as an added benefit. Those sunsets are beautiful!

I stayed at Villa Encantada with a group of 10 women, and it was beyond fabulous. The villa is beautiful and comfortable with lots of areas to gather and socialize or to go off for a little alone time. Even with 10 people, it never felt crowded at all. The staff was welcoming and really helped make our stay special. This is especially true of Walter, the chef, whose margaritas and guacamole are perfection, and who makes the best coconut shrimp I’ve ever eaten. I’m already dreaming of a return visit.
