Perfect Family Vacation

We booked Villa Marbella for a milestone family birthday celebration and we were extremely pleased with our stay. The pictures are extremely accurate, the villa is beautiful and the pool is bigger than it looks in the pictures. There were 19 in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. Our expectations were exceeded for a private villa rental - a new experience for us. The staff was friendly and available. We went shopping with the chef so that we could pick out our groceries and supplies and it was a lot of fun! Great care was given to the quality of food and our personal requests were always accommodated - and remembered! We love you Irma, Lio and Luis - thank you for going our of your way to make us all comfortable, even when some of us weren't feeling so great. The housekeeping staff were efficient and friendly and kept the rooms clean and well stocked. The pool towels were faithfully collected every morning and washed and ready for the day's activities. The wifi service was excellent. My room was on the top floor and I didn't use my phone a lot, but some did and I did not hear any complaints about service. There were a number of games available to play and we took advantage of that every day. The assortment of available reading material was also good and many people took advantage of that and commented on the variety available. Things to note: You can hear the sound of the surf even though you are high on the hillside - take earplugs if you will find that disturbing. The villa is located on a steep hillside. The view is amazing, the area is very nice yet the roads are steep. Walking always involves a steep incline at some point. A small price to pay for an amazing location. There is a little market area located in the neighbourhood - watch for it on the side of the street around one of the curves - it is a fun experience.

Very Impressed

We were immedialty impressed when we arrived. When we walked into the home we were introduced to the staff and toured the home. The home is beautiful with views from every room! There is no bad choice on rooms. The staff was over the top with service and kindness! They were there for every need. The staff made our stay unforgetable. Thank you for making our trip one of the best vacations we have ever had!!

Perfect Villa!

Eight of us shared this spacious home for a business retreat over four days. The house itself is perfect for large parties. Huge, comfortable bedrooms; plenty of community space; unique bathrooms connected to each room; in-room safes; balconies for every bedroom; great views of the water and sunset. WiFi on main floor was good (not great). WiFi doesn't extend to other floors. Location is close to the old section of PV (5 minute taxi). A beach at base of the development is nice and mostly free of annoying vendors. But the overwhelming plus to this house is the staff and the food. Our house chef was incredible. We planned on eating out during our stay, but how could we? Full course meals made to order! Fish, meats, vegetables...all made to order. You will find few places as good as this one when it comes to food. Downsides? The pool is a wading pool, we didn't really use it. The house is located in a development on a hill, so it's a steep climb if you're walking. And there is no walking neighborhood to speak of. Except for the jaunt down the hill to the beach, you're tied to a taxi or car to get around. But for a large family gathering or group retreat where the focus is on the gathering and not the surroundings, it's a 5-star experience no question!

Wonderful Staff and Villa

Villa Marbella is wonderful in all the right ways. The views, the staff, the dining, the decor. We came to celebrate 5 30th birthdays with a group of 12. almost all traveling to PV for the first time. Leo made sure we had everything we needed, guacamole, cocktails, taxi rides. Rodrigo prepared beautiful meals. Everyone was impressed from start to finish. Perfect way to relax and celebrate overlooking the Gorgeous coastline! Katie and 30th Birthday Crew

Extrodinary Vacation

We have had an extrodinary time here!  We are a group of old friends, partners, and a baby we have cherished our time here together.  The staff could not have been more hospitable and accomodating poolside with margaritas, guacamole on demand.  The house is fantastic and the staff totally amazing.  Every meal at the villa was a highlight.  We are so appreciative of Leo's help calling taxis and with recomendations for activities to do in town.  Overall it was a dreamy week in paradise.  We look forward to returning.
