This hotel is very small and over the weekend I think we may have been the only non-locals. Everyone was very friendly though and it was actually nice to see that we were actually in Mexico.

The beach had nice white soft sand, and was quiet and relaxing. You can boogie board for a small fee and the pool was actually clean when we were ther despite what dillusional has said. The beach was also raked everyday and staff were always around to refill your drink. We knew them by name, gave a few tips, but more importantly we were pleasant. They were grateful and I am 100% sure there was alcohol in our drinks!!!

Our room was clean, we had a stunning view. I did see a few ants in the sink but they stayed in the sink. I have to say the food wasn't the best, but we were always out and about during the day and could always find something at breakfast/supper at the hotel that wasn't attrocious.

Most important I think that you are on holidays... go have fun. If you want a party place...go somewhere else Villas is quiet, if you want luxury go to a luxury hotel. This is a decent place, I was here with my boyfriend and it was a nice relaxing holiday for us. You can sit under the little tiki huts at night, kick your feet up, have a drink and enjoy the sunset....or you can complain about being in paradise.

My husband and I spent five wonderful days here the last week of March 06 and guess what... no spring breakers - just peace and quiet and beautiful beach!! We were upgraded from a standard room to a suite with kitchenette and a great balcony/patio with a knock out view and sounds of the waves. Breakfast was included and good.

Very close to the Vallarta Adventures Nuevo pick up for really fun tours - Yelapa, Caletas, and Dolphin Adventures.

The staff was the nicest we have seen in quite a while. Go here if you want to save tons of money and have a fabulous vacation. We are taking our two teens here next year and will definately get a kitchenette - there's a large grocery store at Paradise Plaza ( $4USD cab ride) and a small convenience store one block away tucked into the Sea Garden Hotel grounds.

If you like Rick Steves "finds" - this is it! No crowding around the beautiful pool or beach. There were some fun kids activities - biking, crafts, etc.

Great sunset watching and beach kayaking and boogeyboarding - loved the internet cafe and the Share Library!

The bus takes you into Puerto Vallarta which is fun and it saves you the $16USD cab ride - each way. Loved Daiquiri Dicks and La Palapa restaurants in PV.

WONDERFUL HOTEL - GREAT FOR FAMILIES LOOKING FOR A BEACH VACATION - OR ADULTS WHO WANT TO REALLY RELAX AND ENJOY WITH SIDE TRIPS AVAILABLE. MISMALOYA NOT TO BE MISSED ALONG WITH THE CATHEDRAL! HAVE A GREAT TIME!

My fiance and I stayed at this hotel for a week in February, and were unsure of what to expect with all of the mixed reviews. We were pleasantly surprised!! The staff are so friendly and helpful, everything was very clean and no complaints whatsoever about the food. We met a lot of great people who we plan on meeting there again next year. There is a bus stop right outside the front of the hotel if you would like to take the bus into Puerto Vallarta, and for shopping if you don't want to go into Puerto, across the marina is the Paradise Village shopping centre, and would recommend taking the water taxi, really quick and inexpensive. We will definitely stay here again!!!

We just returned from Puero Vallarta on 3/11. We decided to go all-inclusive this time. Be choose Villa Varadro. WE pick this hotel because of the size. We like a smaller hotel. It is a very basic AI, food and beverage, all served buffet styled. The food is very Mexican, each day the menu varied. WE stayed in a basic room. They also offer suites that have 1 to 2 bedrooms with kichens. The rooms and puplic area are very clean. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The pool is on the small side but very clean. The hotel caters to Mexican familes.
This hotel is located in Nuevo Vallart. It is near the Paradise Marina. The are not many restaurants or stores outside of the hotel. This area is made up of mostly All-inclusive resorts. They are self contained. A trip to town is a bus or taxi trip away. We would stay here again. The only down fall is the location.
