You can't beat Villa Encantada
You are going to be hard pressed to find a better place to stay than this in PV. Rene, Walter, and Isabel were beyond amazing, the location was perfectly located near the beach and town but far enough away to feel separated and private. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and welcoming. The staff and property owner were attentive to our needs and made sure the house was always fully stocked with whatever we asked for. My friends and I were there for a birthday trip. Walter and Rene put on an AMAZING birthday surprise with a cake, piñata, drinks, and music. There is nothing else to say besides we will never stay anywhere else in PV besides Villa Encantada! Recommendations when you stay: 1. Rene's margaritas 2. Walter's nachos 3. Blue Chair beach area for massages on the beach and fantastic drinks 4. Shopping for interesting and unique gifts at Safari Accents 5. Dinner at The Blue Shrimp

I booked this property for my bachelorette party with 10 other women and it greatly exceeded my expectations. Communication with Paul beforehand was so seamless. He was readily available and went out of his way to help. I had a few minor requests beforehand and he was able to help me out with no issues. The staff at the house are lovely. We all looked forward to breakfast everyday. The dinner we had was fabulous and the fish was incredible. They catered to my food allergies with no issues. The villa is beautiful, clean, and while it's not right in town or on the beach, it's a quick cab ride away. I am so happy I picked this villa for such an important weekend. I will definitely be back and I will recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend.

Don’t hesitate, if it’s available book it asap!
Where to begin? Pictures nor words can describe how amazing and enjoyable our stay was in PV. We had a group of 11, ranging in ages from 3-50 and EVERYONE was over the moon. Staff was definitely what made our stay extra spew. Diablo, Rene and Isabella are Villa Encantada’s little secrete ingredient to the best most relaxing vacation. Food was to die for, we didn’t really want to go out to eat as Diablos food was better than any restaurant- and this is coming from the entire group, in which native raised Mexican women also agreed! If your like us and have a couple picky eaters, not to worry they make sure everyone has something yummy to eat. I love that even my picky eaters were trying so many new foods with excitement. Rene was always on top of making sure we ALL had everything we needed and wanted and had plenty recommendations. Isabel was so quiet and quick, but her work definitely didn’t go unnoticed-she had all the rooms cleaned in the time we ate breakfast! Their dynamic was amazing, they kept us laughing and smiling. This was my third visit to PV and by far the best and most memorable. The board walk is very close as well as beautiful beaches! This property has it all, do yourself a favor and book it for an amazing visit-any occasion this fits the bill year round. Can’t wait to visit again, it’s going to be hard to top this experience.

Lovely Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The communication and check in was seamless. The photos of the home are accurate and the house manager, Rene, was incredibly kind and helpful. We all enjoyed Walter’s delicious meals and his friendly demeanor. The house was also clean. People should know that it is in a steep hill. However, the location is great and Ubers or taxis are quick and inexpensive.

family review
Overall our stay was great. Renee and staff were outstanding. The accommodations were great for what we needed. I did see tiny bugs in the kitchen on the counters. not sure what they were. They weren't ants. They were much smaller. I assume that with the open air situation this is normal. One thing to be careful of is that the website doesn't match the email attachments you will receive when trying to budget for food for meals. In my opinion it should all be consistent. If I receive an attachment in the welcome email that is what I look at. I won't go to the website for the vrbo. We were caught off guard by the difference in cost of the food that was suggested to budget for. Just a tip. For those that aren't worried about budgeting it's not a big deal but it was a huge difference for us. Otherwise, we were happy with our stay and the staff was incredible.

25 year Anniversary celebration
My husband and I decided to do a week vacation with our family and found this beautiful house! We were a group of 12 and everyone fit comfortably. The staff was amazing! Walter, the chef, was so attentive to our requests, and the food was so delicious!! He and Rene make a great team and made sure we were all having a great time! Again, super attentive. Isabel, the housekeeper did a great job also! The house is very close to town so getting around is super easy. Walter and Rene will have the taxis at the house in a flash. Wonderful memories were made and we for sure will be back soon! Thank you to Walter, Rene and Isabel for all their hard work that made our vacation celebration so fun and memorable! See you all again soon.

Great Experience for families with little ones!
Our stay at Villa Encantada truly surpassed all of our expectations. The property was immaculate, but it was truly the staff that made our trip so incredible! We were traveling with 2 little ones (age 1 and age 2), and it felt as if we had an extra set of hands the entire time! Walter ensured our kiddos never missed a meal (I’ve never seen my son try so many new foods!) Rene went out of his way to make sure we had all the luxury’s of home for both ourselves, but most importantly our little ones and Isabel gave the mom’s the week off from the 10’s of loads of laundry we usually have to do! We left feeling like we had gained some new family members with this bunch! Thank you so much Paul and Lynn for hosting us and for Walter, Rene and Isabel for making us feel so at home! We can’t wait to come back!

THE BEST!
Myself and 6 of my best friends stayed here for my bachelorette party and we could not have been happier with this house but most of all, the staff! I would give 10 stars if I could. Walter is the chef and he is phenomenal. His food is even better than what you would get at a restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend having him make you the garlic shrimp and risotto. He was also so fun and friendly and was constantly cracking jokes with us girls, it was so great having him around and I truly miss him already. Rene was so kind and professional and was ready to greet and help us with our luggage the second we arrived to the house. He also made sure everything in the house was to our liking and was always making sure we had a fresh drink in hand at all times. He also set the table beautifully for every meal and got a fan out for us whenever we were eating outside. The pool was fantastic and we pretty much lived in it while we were at the house. The temp was perfect and it's a great size pool. Also great jacuzzi! Overall i would give villa encantada an A+++! The staff truly makes it an unforgettable experience and I will definitely be coming back here for years to come!

Excellent Stay
We had a wonderful time at Villa Encantada with 3 generations of my family including 6 adults and 5 kids ages 4-10. What makes this place extra special is the staff. Rene goes out of his way to make sure every thing is taken care of for you. He set up the outside table for meals in a way that made it feel like we were at a fancy restaurant at every meal, even setting up fans around the table to keep it cool. He and Walter made sure that the kids had something that they liked as well. Walter is an amazing chef and we looked forward to his meals every day. We had him show us how he prepared some of the meals so that we could try them at home. His empanadas and Mahi Mahi kabobs were especially amazing and worth a shout out. We never even really went out to eat except for drinks and appetizers during lunch when we were out and about. The kids basically lived in the pool the whole time we were at the villa. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. AC worked great in bedrooms (which we have noticed in the past can sometimes be an issue in PV during the summer.) The only negative I could even mention is that the mosquitos and no see ums were pretty bad here during the rainy season. There was insect repellent at the villa and we brought our own so as long as long as you were sprayed it wasn't a problem. Overall an amazing experience and you feel very spoiled here!

We chose puerto Vallarta because it was relatively easy to get there for all of us. Our choice of this property was genius! The house was beautiful and exactly (and ) more than we expected. Walter, the chef, created fabulous meals. If you stay there plan to EAT. Rene, the concierge was thoughtful and kind. The best. Paul, the property manager was extremely helpful and patient. Our family is a circle of chaos and confusion and Paul saw us though some of that with kindness and skill We loved it and would highly recommend this property.

Let's go to Mexico!
Me and five close friends just ended our vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Our departure was quite sad due to the fact that we had a wonderful time that would not have happened if it were not for the Villa Encantada owner and staff. Rene was awesome in pre-coordination even to the point where my best friend and I arrived earlier than planned. He and Walter (the Chef) had snacks and delicious margaritas waiting for me and my friends. The property (Villa Encantada) is beautifully nestled in the hills but very close to (walking distance) to downtown Puerto Vallarta. I don't recommend walking but if you should choose to do so, be ready for a journey. That said, all rooms were well appointed and cleaned daily by Isabel who was efficient and stealth. Also, the pool and view is spectacular where enjoyed lazy afternoons enjoying the sunsets. Walter's food was not only delicious but plentiful. We loved his chicken tacos that we ordered several times during our stay. His meals rivaled the restaurants in Puerto Vallarta so you may want to have dinner or lunch prepared by Walter! Rene was absolutely the best and made himself available to answer any and all of our questions and assistance when we need him. I have traveled a lot and Rene is probably the best house manager I have ever had. He was attentive ensuring that we were taken care of before we arrived to ordering our transportation upon our departure. Wonderful memories rush into my mind as I type this review making me ready to book another trip NOW! Highly recommend considering Villa Encantada...you will create fond memories that you will never forget!
