This was our first time staying at Villa Marbella, but not the first time visiting Puerto Vallarta. WOW wow wow…by far the best place that we have stayed in. All of the rooms were facing the ocean, the common room with the pool and a dining area was opened to an ocean view. It was close enough and high enough for us to enjoy watching all the whales and dolphins swimming, jumping and splashing from our balcony. How cool was that! The common room was also perfect for getting together for breakfast, lunch and dinner….best part of all was it allowed all of us to play card and board games as a family. The staff was awesome, they were always available and attentive, the rooms were made and kept clean, and the new towels and toilet papers were always exchanged. Leo was very accommodating to all of our needs, and the chef cooked wonderful meals every night for us. FYI, it is cheaper to just find your own transportation from airport to Villa Marbella. Once you find the right one, get his or her number and use them throughout your visit. The exchange rates is all over the place, you are better off exchanging US dollar at a bank before hand if possible. For example, one shop will give you 17:1 (peso:dollar), another will give 18:1, another will give you 19:1….even though the market rate is 20:1, but you won’t get that rate there. Enough said…FANTASTICO, haste la vista!
