Offering good value for the money, this is a place for travelers who want to have a home away from home. This villa offered us a nice balance between beach life and urban exploration. We were able to reach Playa de Oro and Villa del Mar beaches within a short walk. The Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center and Aquaventuras Park are also only a short distance away.
There are four bedrooms on site. They were enough to accommodate our group of seven. In addition to that, we also loved the balcony, which was one of our go-to outdoor spots for sipping coffee or enjoying an evening BBQ. Our favorite, though, was the garden, which offered us a tranquil escape to soak up the sunshine. Overall, we think this villa is a fantastic choice for families seeking a homey and comfortable retreat in Puerto Vallarta.

Casa Carmen

Casa Carmen won us over with its unique Hacienda-style charm and prime location just steps away from Camarones Beach. Like some of Puerto Vallarta’s top villas, Casa Carmen’s location is amazing. We loved waking up to the sound of waves. It put us practically on the sand, as the beach is only a minute’s walk away. The beach was clean during our stay and surprisingly not crowded at all. It was our favorite place for early morning dips, sunset strolls, and endless hours of building sandcastles.
When we first arrived at the villa, we were mesmerized by the delightful throwback to traditional Mexican architecture. The high ceilings, wooden accents, and terracotta floors were simply beautiful. It may not have all the bells and whistles of a luxury resort, but it provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There are 9 bedrooms in total, and all of them are immaculately clean. The fan and air conditioning also kept us cool in the Puerto Vallarta heat.

To tell you the truth, Casa Armor is one of those private villas in Puerto Vallarta that exceeded our expectations. If you want to relax and have a serene getaway in Mexico, this place should be on the top of your list. We truly loved the feeling of complete privacy offered by the gated property. The 24/7 security team made us feel safe (though there was nothing for us to worry about). While secluded enough to feel away from it all, this villa is just a short distance from the city’s main attractions. Even to reach the popular Marina Puerto Vallarta, it took us only a few minutes’ drive.
We were awed by the contemporary decor and airy design when we first stepped inside the villa. Here, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms and two living rooms. This layout easily accommodated our group of four, providing ample space for spending quality time. All the air conditioning kept us cool throughout our stay, which was especially appreciated in the city’s heat. The private pool, though, was the heart of our stay. We spent countless hours swimming, basking in the sun, and enjoying the refreshing dip after exploring the city. The garden also provided a lovely backdrop for poolside relaxation. This villa is the perfect escape to unwind and reconnect with your loved ones.

Villa Premiere

Rekindle your love in the Honeymoon Suite
Villa Premiere, one of the best villas in Puerto Vallarta, has plenty of different accommodation options. From its Spa Suite and Master Suite, each is designed with your comfort in mind. But for lovebirds, nothing can beat the Honeymoon Suite. We stayed here, and we loved it so much. It was our perfect choice for a luxurious and intimate retreat. The highlight, though, was none other than the oversized terrace, along with its hot tub and seating area. In the afternoon, we would play our favorite playlist, take a dip, and simply enjoy the blue ocean. The rose petals made the whole atmosphere even sweeter.
Of course, that’s not all. In addition to the standard amenities, we also loved the addition of the pillow menu. After a long flight, what we needed so badly was a good night’s sleep. While the bed was big and plush, what made our sleep even better was the Orthopedic pillow. Aside from that, you can also choose the Essence, Naturelle, Pleasure, Eurostar, or Encompass pillow.
On top of that, we were shocked by the scent menu. The in-room aromatherapy truly made a difference. It allowed us to relax even more, especially after a day of exploring the city. We chose the Velvet Roses as it was sweet and fresh. You can check the scent menu here.

Explore the spa’s pampering treatments with your lover
Villa Premiere is one of Puerto Vallarta’s leading boutique accommodations, so don’t be surprised to find a spa center on the property. Even before we arrived, we had already planned to visit the Mind & Soul Spa. When we visited the spa, we were welcomed by the professional and friendly therapists. The place was big, clean, and comfortable.
The therapists explained to us about the treatments, and we decided to have a foot massage in the couple’s treatment room. It may not be the most romantic date, but we totally enjoyed it. Once we were done, we would spend a good minute in the sauna to detox and just relax.

A romantic dinner for lovebirds
When it comes to dining, the villa has three different options on the property, all of which will never fail to captivate your senses. Whether you’re in the mood for international cuisines or local delicacies, you’ll never be disappointed. First, there’s La Ceiba. This is the place to be if you want to dine al fresco. It offers classic Mexican dishes as well as international flavors.
There’s also Murales, a restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere that serves mouth-watering Mexican cuisine. It’s the perfect choice for those who are into more casual dining. Our favorite, though, was La Corona. It was a sophisticated spot where we were able to taste unique dishes inspired by traditional Mexican food. We loved the overall ambiance, and at night it felt super romantic. With the menus selected by the Executive Chef, you’re sure going to enjoy the food here.

Enjoy a drink or two in the poolside bar
During our two-night stay, we would kick off our days in the outdoor pool. It wasn’t big, but we liked how clean it was. We couldn’t think of a better way to freshen our minds after such a good sleep. The highlight, though, was the poolside slash beachfront bar. There, you’ll find a wide variety of cocktails, wine, and other premium drinks to help refresh your senses. Visiting the poolside bar at night is also a good idea as it’s more romantic.

One of the best beachfront villas in the heart of Puerto Vallarta
The villa’s location is also worth the praise. Yes, thanks to its beachfront location, the villa is also a good choice for beachgoers. Every morning, you’ll see guests doing yoga on the beach and trying to conquer the ocean. However, there’s more than just that.
As we said earlier, it’s set in the heart of the city’s Romantic Zone, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Living up to its name, this area is so sweet. We loved strolling around the cobblestone streets, which were lined with colorful buildings and trendy boutiques. There were so many restaurants and bars to explore. We also liked how lively and welcoming the atmosphere was. Make sure to visit the Olas Atlas Farmers’ Market on Saturdays and take pictures of the beautiful Olas Atlas Street. Want to catch the sunset? Go to Los Muertos Pier!
