Second time visitors...and we love it!! The weather is perfect and it's located less than 10 minutes to the Malecon. The staff are great (thanks to Paul, Jorge, Enrique, Diana and others) they made our stay amazing. No kids - adults only, so a great place to just relax!! The on site restaurants are pretty good, but there are sooo many other restaurants close by. Well worth the stay!!!! read more

A beautiful, welcoming home-away-from-home! 80 rooms, NO CHILDREN, and a 10 minute walk into downtown. Been coming here for 20 years and love it! read more

Villa Premiere - The view from our room! - Hotels Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Elevators don't work you have to pay for ice cans of coke are $6 the management especially Tammy does not follow through with promises

Hubby booked me this beautiful beachfront hotel for my birthday! The poolside terrace is so lovely! I could have just hung out at their poolside terrace the entire time there! The rooms were Tuscan style architecture, which didn't get me too excited, but they were clean, and the bed was cozy and comfortable! The king bed room is quite large, and we got a room on the 5th floor with one of the best ocean view possible!! The beach and views were nothing short of amazeballs, but I recommend going to a different beach if u want to wade in the water and do shoreline body surfing. The beach has too many rocks that could slice you up pretty badly! The hotel doesn't have self serve parking, so you are required to valet your car. The hotel is very close to many ships and restaurants, so you don't really need a car if you don't plan on exploring outside of the main city limits of Puerto Vallarta. Hotel staff are all very pleasant and accommodating and do their very best to ensure you have a wonderfully pleasant stay!! read more

Villa Premier made our trip truly unforgettable! From start to finish, we were cared for with genuine warmth and attention. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure every moment was special. From the exceptional customer service to the incredible spa experiences and the consistently delicious food, Villa Premier exceeded every expectation. We've stayed at several "all-inclusive" resorts before and always found something lacking--especially when it came to the food. That was not the case here. Every meal was outstanding. If you're searching for the perfect resort--stop here. Villa Premier is the one you want! read more

It has been a month since I returned from a trip to wonderful Puerto Vallarta. Even before I left the Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel, I started fashion my review. Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel is conveniently located by the city's boardwalk, better known as the Malecon. It is small, it is fairly stylish and it does advertise itself in glowing terms. The hotel design was not unique. The atmosphere was very vanilla. As for attentive service, the phrase I coined during our stay was "consistently, inconsistent". Check in, went well. The lobby staff didn't seem to care about our arrival; however, the desk staff was nice and efficient. No effort was made to have us arrange a timeshare meeting (and was never pushed on us throughout the week). Our bags were promptly brought to our room. The king-sized room we had for the week was nice. Not fantastic, not large, not well appointed, just nice. The shower was good, but the water temperature took some time to figure out. The bathroom countertop was very small. The minibar was nice, but not impressive. No hard liquor or wine was available when it came time to be restocked. The plethora of pillows and the comfort of the bed were nice. Our view from the balcony of the room was a definite highlight. I've had larger, more well appointed, rooms at other all-inclusive resorts. Being small, the hotel offered only three restaurants. Oddly, the semi-casual, sports bar required reservations. The restaurant which seemed to be the fanciest, did not. The casual dining area, open for breakfast and lunch, was closed on several nights during our stay (more to come). There is a nice sized pool in the center of the courtyard. A smaller, infinity pool, with a swim up bar is located between the main pool and the beach. The swim up pool, featured cold water, and flaking pool tiles. On the sixth day, the infinity pool was finally warm and enjoyable. We experienced no problem getting a lounge chair near the pools or on the one day we sat on the beach. The beach is a mix of rocks and sand. While walkable, beach shoes are recommended. The spa is open for sauna and steam room use, with no added charge. If you would like to do either, ask at the front desk. This information will not be volunteered to you. The food was good, sometimes great. Getting it could be an ordeal. Room service was "consistently, inconsistent". When we ordered a hot meal, it came in twenty five minutes. When we ordered a cold meal, it took over a hour. Pool service for meals was very good. There's a varied menu and having had just about one of everything during the week, I can say it as a solid menu. Pool service for drinks and at the swim up bar? Consistently, inconsistent. All booze at the swim a bar was of the rail variety. Not a name brand or top shelf liquor to be found. The restaurants. Consistently inconsistent. In the one restaurant, were reservations were not required, it took a group of us (10) over two and a half hours to have our meal. It was the excruciating snails pace of our servers. Servers seemed overwhelmed and were definitely not attentive to empty drinks, used plates or the satisfaction of the diners. Before you ask about complaining to someone, there never seemed to be anyone around who appeared to be in a position of leadership or supervision. The bars attached to both restaurants were just okay. Although they offered top shelf liquors, they both ran out of product during the week and apparently never made an effort to restock the shelf. If you like a late night drink, forget about it. Bars closed at 10 PM and liquor was stored away before they closed. The restaurant requiring reservations was the least inconsistent. One night with our large group, the chefs and wait staff hit a grand slam. The next night with the same group, it was a strikeout. One thing staff was consistent at throughout everyday was putting their tablet in your face, to ensure they were scanning your "all-inclusive" bracelet. It seemed about 90% of the time, this was done to show you your "bill" and to make sure to ask for a tip by credit card or cash. I have never been to an all-inclusive where I was once asked for a tip, little less asked on a regular basis for a tip. While my spouse and I were sure to leave tips, the quality of service and attention we received, never seemed to correlate with the tip. In summary, this is a resort designed for someone who wants to sit in silence by the pool, read a book, get marginal service, and retire after an okay dinner. I would, and will, go to any number of other all-inclusive resorts instead of returning to this resort. read more

Great hotel and staff. The location is perfect! I have stayed here 4 times and I will stay again. The pool is beautiful.

Picture this: You step into Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, and suddenly, you're whisked away to a world of pure luxury and relaxation. From the moment you arrive, it's like you've entered a dreamy oasis where every detail is perfectly curated to make you feel pampered. Checkin included a complimentary 10 min massage, and since this was a birthday and anniversary trip they also treated us to a glass of champagne. Just what we needed after a flight to get here.

And let me tell you about the rooms - they're like something out of a magazine, with plush beds and gorgeous sea views that took our breath away. The real standout at Villa Premiere is the service.

It's the kind of place that'll make you never want to leave - and trust me, you won't blame yourself for feeling that way. read more

After damage occurred during storm Paulina I called to see how extensive it was and if it was still worth visiting. They assured me everything was fine and to continue with my plans. Upon arrival the entire promenade was gone and it's been nonstop dump trucks and back hoes all day every day. The noise is pervasive and has made using the pool and outdoor restaurant unusable. They lied to myself and many others. We won't be coming back. Shame on them read more

This was my first time to Puerto Vallarta! I know right.... I've been all over Mexico, but somehow I missed PVR. As you already know, this is a smaller, boutique hotel. Lately I've been preferring the smaller hotels when I travel. However, its sister (or Mother) hotel is located next door. I can't recall the name, but you're allowed to utilize their pool, bars, gym, restaurants as well. It's a bigger hotel/resort that has more of a family vibe. Villa Premiere is an adult only hotel. Everybody was very friendly and accommodating. We had a few issues. One issue was with the AC (it would not let us change the temperature) and the headboard on the bed (it fell off; weird). For both incidents the response was prompt! They fix things right away! We had a honeymoon suite with the hot tub on the deck/balcony/veranda. That was the BEST thing we could have done. We were in the hot tub every night. AND the water was HOT. I forgot to mention we were there for New Years so we were also able to watch the fireworks while taking a dip. It was great! While we were there the water was rough, so we never got to spend time on the beach. I think this was the first vacation I can remember (to a beach destination) that we didn't lay on the beach and get in the water. We spent the majority of the time at the pool and checking out the local vibe. The pool was almost 25m, which allowed me to get in some laps. There was also a pool bar (a smaller pool with a bar). We spent some time in there as well and, as you can imagine, that's where most people dwell. There were 2 restaurants open while we were there. One for breakfast, lunch, dinner and one that was only open for dinner. The food was very good. By the way, we did the all-inclusive. We also found some very good spots in town as well (the Romantic Zone). As for the drinks, you'll need to ask for top shelf liquor. I feel as though we were getting low quality liquor. They even differentiate between wine and champagne. If you ask for champagne they will bring you sparking wine. When I finally figured this out I said, 'NO, REAL champagne'. They'll make your mimosa, etc. with sparkling wine unless you differentiate and tell them what you REALLY want. You'd figure you'd get champagne if you asked for champagne, but....no. As others have mentioned, I too was a bit bothered by the constant request for tips. AND I'm a tipper. I just don't like being asked every single time. Well, I take that back. There were a few occasions when the server did not ask for a tip and I made it my business to tip them even more. Overall, it was a good stay! read more

This is a beautiful resort. We were pleased with the gorgeous, comfortable room and the amazing views. We went with the all-inclusive option; many cucumber margaritas and room service breakfasts were enjoyed. Most of the people we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. For an upcharge, we chose to partake in the private dinner. There were a few things I ordered out there and got the wrong item, which was a little bit of a bummer at this price point. We had a great experience at the spa. There are only three on-site restaurants and one of them was closed, also a bit of a disappointment when there are so few options. Upon check out we were given someone else's bill. We straightened it out later, but this was an easily avoidable snafu and put a bit of a damper on our exit. The location is great, super safe and easy access to the Malecon area. This was my first time in Puerto Vallarta, thanks to Villa Premiere it won't be my last. read more

We always enjoy our time at Villa Premiere! We've come annually for the last four years.

My wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. For this year, we wanted a place to where we could rest and relax. I found Villa Premiere through Costco travel, and it did not disappoint! We stayed in the honeymoon suite, and the biggest win for us were the amount of pillows! Staying in a lot of hotels, we always have to bring our own because hotel pillows are always flat and very few. Not here! There were a plethora of pillows. The room was very clean. A perk was having the pools/restaurants right on the beachfront. Although I normally love going into the ocean, we really just enjoyed sitting by poolside. We enjoyed the all-inclusive perk which was really nice. We didn't even have to leave the resort because the restaurants available were absolutely onolicious, breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. They were also very friendly to chat with. Paul's your guy to help you with any need when you're at the pool! Gabriela and Adan surprised us on our anniversary with a plate of churros (my wife and Gabriela were talking about churros all week). I can't tell you enough how amazing the staff have been. We also enjoyed the spa, which I've never done before. But the employees were very understanding and helped me to have an enjoyable experience. We recommend if you visit Villa Premiere, check in on the all-inclusive package or even member package. Even though our meals and drinks were covered, we still tipped our servers (the packages don't cover their tips and they go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience). If you're looking for a resort that offers plenty of late night activities or close to the "action" of the town, this resort might not be what you're looking for. But if you're looking for an adult only resort, to focus on relaxation with a friendly staff and like minded people, this is the resort in Puerto Vallarta for you! We look forward to our next visit! read more

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon, and we had an amazing experience. The hotel is small and adults-only, so it's extremely peaceful and quiet. All of the employees, from the concierges to the custodians to the servers, provided excellent customer service. We enjoyed the variety of food, especially since an all-inclusive package gets you access to their sister hotel next door as well. Their spa is beautiful and every service felt luxurious. I cannot speak highly enough of Villa Premiere and all of its staff! I recommend this resort for couples who want a tranquil escape - definitely get the all-inclusive package! read more

This resort is more on the relaxing vibe rather than party/entertainment. Very quiet and most of the guests were elderly people (about 90%) - we went end of Feb. So I do not recommend coming here if you're celebrating something like a bachelorette/bachelor party and want something more lively. They only had 2 restaurants open. One of them was open for both brunch/dinner while the other was only open during dinner hours. Good amount of food selections to choose from. Food was good. There's 24hour room service which was nice as well. I recommend getting the burger. There's only 2 pools. One main one and a smaller one with a swim up bar. The lounging chairs gets taken pretty quickly. So if you see one open, I would suggest that you put a towel on it to claim it. The beach is down below which was great cause we got to see an amazing view of the sunset. You also get a free 5 min massage every day by the lobby. You'll just have to wait and see if the masseuse is there. If you want to get an actual massage, I recommend going to the sister hotel right next door. Prices are cheaper and I got the "relaxing" massage and I very much enjoyed it. They also had a jacuzzi there as well while this resort didn't. When you check out, make sure they go over the charges with you. There were some charges that we did not purchase which they took out for us. My cousin also got a random charge on her credit card from the resort a month later! So definitely gotta double check. read more

We loved this resort. Wife and I spent our anniversary here, and it was great. The beach wasn't crowded, the cabanas were wonderfully peaceful and didn't have to wait to long to get one (first come first served) The room was comfortable and had a great view (top floor, jacuzzi tub in bathroom, balcony) The area is quiet and calm. We considered staying in zona romantica but were glad we didn't. And Zona R was easy to get to via Uber or 20-30 stroll along the boardwalk. All the staff at Villa Premiere were lovely, SO friendly. And the bar drinks were sweet but tasty. drinks from the pool bar were weaker but that makes sense. We didn't do the all inclusive option, which worked out fine because there are so many good restaurants in the city. However, the restaurants on site and room service were quite good. Would definitely go back. read more

We stayed at the Villa Premiere last spring for the first time and had an absolutely amazing experience. We came back this year again and were not disappointed (despite coming in with sky high expectations)! What makes the hotel stand out is (1) the exceptional customer service and (2) attention to detail. Keep up the great work and we look forward to coming back again in the future! Every staff member we met was truly exceptional and thus, it is hard to name a few. However, I wanted to highlight Enrique, who was our bartender at La Perla. Enrique was extremely welcoming, kind, and attentive. When my fiance was busy talking to other guests at the bar (which happens a lot), he came over to me and we had a great conversation. He truly is one of the nicest people I have ever met! Plus, he makes a fantastic margarita (best I have ever had - and I have had a lot of margaritas). Another shoutout goes to Alejandro, our bartender at the pool. Alejandro consistently provides great customer service and brings positive energy to the pool bar, making it a more fun experience for all guests. Finally, I was very impressed with Jorge who was our waiter at the pool. He was constantly checking in on myself and my fiance to ensure our needs were met. Plus, he always did it with a smile on his face! Overall, it was great to see many of the same friendly faces on the staff from our last visit. The continuity of the staff makes a big difference in ensuring a great experience for all guests. For instance, Paul even remembered us from last time and came up to greet us on our first day! read more

I'm so glad we picked this hotel for our honeymoon! Our hotel room was clean and it had a view of the ocean and a large hot tub on the balcony. There was a beautiful pool with tons of seating available, access to the beach, and pool/beach side service for drinks and food. The location of the hotel is perfect- a 10 min drive from everything, and a very cute neighborhood with great restaurants just a 2 min walk away. You can even walk along the boardwalk to the other areas of PV very easily, and the hotel is close to the airport too. We usually try to stay away from hotel food when we travel, but the quality of food was actually very high quality. Tons of delicious room service options and AMAZING breakfast at their restaurant that has a beautiful view of the beach. The mornings are so peaceful. The spa at the hotel was also A+. Not necessarily cheap, but we loved our massages and body scrubs. One of the highlights of the trip. The staff were all kind, attentive, and worked hard to make sure that we were receiving high quality service. read more

Hola, Bienvenidos... what a great time we had. This was our first visit to Puerto Vallarta and we were so pleasantly pleased with the Villa Premiere, the accommodations, the restaurants, the drinks, but particularly the staff. From our initial arrival to our departing day, we were never disappointed by anybody working concierge, restaurants, housekeeping, or our favorite, the pool attendant, Paul. While this review was for our trip in November of 2022, we were so delighted that we are returning in a couple weeks with friends to celebrate Mike's 50th birthday. We hope that everyone from November is still there when we return, and we are so looking forward to a repeat of the good times we had. Muchas gracias, hasta luego. read more

This is the premiere resort to stay when in Vallarta, close to romantic zone and can walk the beach from here to Los Muertos Pier. The staff are so friendly, helpful, kind and speak good English for anyone worried about not knowing Spanish. The food here was decent, but the drinks were delicious. Beach front day beds to lounge was a plus, nice soft sandy beach not much rocks or shells. Sand is hot tho!!! The beds were soft and select aromatherapy for the pillows, helps the sleep. Ocean view and balcony was amazing day and night views. I loved this hotel and bathroom was a bit small but next time I will splurge on the bigger room with jacuzzi tub! This will be my go to when I return for my next visit. Front entrance door men were helpful with umbrellas (rainy season) getting Uber and most places within walking distance. Even at late arrival there was someone always in lobby security and staff to assist. We loved our stay!!! read more

I'm pretty picky and this place makes it challenging for me to find problems. Nothing in this world is perfect but this place is pretty close. Mostly all the staff is wonderful and genuine in their care for others. Actually here there are excellent and outstanding employees in every department. Isabel was our first impression to the Villa Premiere and she was the pace setter of amazingness. There was a bellman who was top notch, and a concierge woman who made us feel so comfortable. Then there were an abundance of servers in the restaurants, housekeepers for the rooms, message therapists in the spa, and managers & supervisors throughout who upheld the highest standards. It was a treasured and memorable experience. read more

It's a small resort with a tiny pool and no jacuzzi. Staff was pretty pleasant and accommodating for the most part. I stayed here for a bachelorette party and opted for the all-inclusive package so meals and drinks were included. The food was surprisingly good here! I can't think of a single dish I didn't enjoy. There are two restaurants located on site and room service was an option as well. For the restaurant overlooking the beach, you have the option to book the top floor to yourself if requested in advance. The gym is small but empty when I visited. There's enough to get a decent work-out in, but no mats were available. The only thing that I didn't quite enjoy was getting billed for champagne that we never asked for. If we had requested a bottle of champagne, that's a completely different story. To add further insult to injury, it wasn't even good quality champagne!! read more

Villa Premiere is remarkable and offers everything you want in a resort, but at a lower price and with a more intimate experience. Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: 5 We stayed here during our honeymoon for 4 nights in 2021 September, in the honeymoon suite, without the all-inclusive option. This resort has only around 100 rooms, so the staff and overall experience is much more focused on you as an individual guest. This resort also has all of the perks and amenities you want from one of the mega-resorts closer to the airport. They have three restaurants, two pools, a deck on the beach, and a large private beach space, plus great room selections and the beautiful stone jetty for photos and their chef's table experience. They also have a FANTASTIC SPA. I have chronic lower back pain and am a bit of a spa snob. They offer a steam room, and a sauna, and a full range of many different massages. For deep tissue pain relief, ask for Diana for your masseuse (terapista). The rooms and common spaces were always perfectly clean and there was always a staff member fluent in both English and Spanish ready to attend to anything you wanted, from drinks to food to booking tours. This really is a remarkable place and we will be booking here again when we return to Puerto Vallarta. Additionally, what you pay here is far lower than what you pay at the mega-resorts, and I feel like the experience is just far superior read more

This place is amazing! The entire staff is so kind and welcoming. The food is amazing the drinks too . Enrique and Alejandro make the absolute best drinks!!!!!!

My wife and I booked this through our Costco vacation packages. It is located in the heart of PV and conveniently located a few minutes walk from the boardwalk( nightlife, shopping!) and amazing taco spots. It is about a 20 minute ride to the airport as well as Vallarta adventures ( local tour agency) Since it was our first time here in PV we decided to go with the all inclusive package. I hope I can answer the questions we had when looking this place up. We were extremely worried since the weather showed that it would be storming all week. It did rain , but it came down it short quick bursts which helped cool things down and the rest of the day was beautiful weather. Tip: memorize your room number ASAP , they need it to keep track of your charges on account. There are 3 restaurants on site and access to additional ones at their sister hotel next door if you are all inclusive. For the 3 restaurants ( sorry I can't remember the names!) - breakfast served at La ceiba- is consistently great! They had lots of Mexican dishes my mom used to make me when I was young with a nice flair or twist. Plus they bring out pan dulce as an appetizer every morning. They also offer healthy breakfast choices which makes it super easy for my fellow macro counters. 5 stars. Lunch-la Ceiba-For the most part very good. I was not a fan of certain seafood items but then again I'm more of a meat eater. 4 stars Dinner- available at 2(or 3 locations depending on day of the week) dinner was not bad. Since I was on vacation I decided to explore the cuisine a bit. I recommend sticking to the steak and chicken items. They are well done. Stick to la ceiba !! Some of items at La Coro is were meh. 3 1/2 stars Although they state they have 3 restaurants one is only open for dinner twice a week( I think Tuesday and Thursday) Which is a shame since It Mexican themed and had a much better menu than the more Americanized la corona. But I mean you cater to the clientele. Room service - available 24 hours- everything they got right was great. For some reason they put some sort of anchovies on a Cesar salad. They also accidentally brought a few incorrect items. MAKE SURE to have them repeat the order back to you and check the food when they arrive. Sister hotel/restaurant- we went over once and didn't get an opportunity to try anything there. It had much more families and kids out and about. We stuck to our side where it is nice and relaxing! #TeamNoKids . Service- 10 freaking stars!! The entire staff goes above and beyond to make your experience amazing and enjoyable. On one of the dinners I had mentioned to an employee I was craving an item and he had the cooks make it and brought it out to us even though it's not even on the menu! They are AMAZING! Make sure you bring plenty of small bills to tip the workers , they work hard and deserve it. Tips Drinks- 10-20 pesos per drink, so every time I ordered one I would give a dollar. Restaurants- between 5-10$ depending on the cost stated on the bill. The staff will remember your name and everything you like or dislike Hotel - very clean, has 2 pools and access to a small private beach. No one will come up to the hotel but occasionally people selling items will try to get your attention. A polite no thank you is all that is needed. Also has a small "gym" which is not bad for all my yelpers who like to get their lifts in. I was able to hit chest , shoulders , biceps and triceps with their small amount of equipment. There are NO racks and it's mostly dumbbells with one flat bench , one treadmill and a couple of elliptical. If you need more , this place is a short walk to a gym that offers a day pass for 2.50$. For my gains squad - bring protein powder. Chicken and steak items are an ok portion but not enough to hit your protein goals. I was consistently under all week. Bring scoops to supplement. Tip: Grab a seat at the cabana or restaurant around 8:45 and you can finish up dinner right around sunset and enjoy a cocktail until 9:30 when an old pirate ship in the bay goes around shooting fireworks. *Check out Vallarta tours for anything you are considering doing while there. The concierge will ask you if you would like to sit through one of their presentations for 20% off a tour booking. Since I was on vacation I didn't want to spend an hour and a half of my time doing that. But not to worry Yelp Fam. I GOT YOU. If you research the tours ahead of time , and book it at least 48 hours in advance you automatically get 15% off! *Use Uber as your primary way to get around. It's super cheap. This place was absolutely stunning and we will for sure be back one day. I felt that the all inclusive package was worth it. taking everything into account , food , quality of service , employees , location , etc I rate this hotel 5 stars!!!! For authentic taco fans check out Pepe's tacos down the street. Locals also reckoned el Carboncito which is on the next street over. read more

My wife and I were there for my birthday the week of June 10th-15th. We usually stay at larger all-inclusive like the RIU. After staying at the Villa Premiere never again. Villa Premiere is truly a small boutique hotel but it was exceptional right from the beginning. Walking in, you are greeted by a very friendly staff including valet. After check in you get a 5min massage which truly sets the tone for your experience. Then you notice how clean the hotel is. We got a Honeymoon Sweet which was very clean with an amazing view. Daily room service was on point every day and the Housekeeper was so sweet and kind. The beds were very comfy including your choice of pillow. We both slept well every night, especially being served by generous bartenders throughout the day. I surprised me on my actual birthday with balloons and champagne with the assistance Lourdes who was so helpful, caring and just sweet. She helped make my day even more special. Give Lourdes a raise she works her butt off. All and I mean ALL of the food was really good, including the late night room service. If you like Buffalo wings you have to try there's. Spicy but sweet. On our last night we ate at their restaurant La Corona and it was EXCEPTIONAL. Every entre was amazing including the staff. It give you a fine dining feel. Is the Villa Premiere pricey, maybe. But if you want to relax without kids, enjoy good food, have great service in a relaxed environment, then this is the place for you. By far one of the best experiences I have had while traveling. Tips: Taxis and Ubers (no Lyft) are safe and super cheap. No need to overpay for pre-transportation. Do not bring Vape Pens into this part of Mexico, you will be fined big time. Also bring singles for tips eventhough they don't ask. read more

If you're looking for stellar service in a moderately luxury hotel within walking distance of the heart of old town Puerto Vallarta, then this is your destination spot. This is an adults-only hotel which means your time will be as relaxing as you want it. The ride from the airport can take 20-30 minutes depending on time of day. And after a bumpy ride as you roll into the driveway of the resort you are greeted by smiling staff who only want to make sure your first experience is stellar. The check-in process was a bit longer than I had wanted after a long flight, but it was just to make sure they had all our preferences correct and we understood the "inclusive" options we purchased. The cold, sweet beverage they provided while we registered was very helpful. I was worried I was going to be "sold" the whole time I was here (e.g. timeshare mania) but that didn't happen even once. Within 20 minutes after arriving, we were poolside enjoying sun, another beverage, and letting the stress melt away. We got the couples massage package at the spa (50 minute massage, 50 minute facial) and it was divine. Seriously, can I put another quarter in the machine and have another ride please?!?!?! Our stay was over New Years and they didn't disappoint. They decorated the pool area, brought in a traditional Mariachi band, other live entertainment, and plated a very tasty and beautifully presented five course meal. While so many of the staff were attentive and very helpful, Enrique stood out as my favorite -- always making sure that my favorite beverage was available and ensuring we were never thirsty, hungry, or needed anything. The rooms are comfortable (those beds and custom pillows!!) and the views from the rooms all face the ocean (though some of the corner suites at the end of the hallway have less an attractive view of the nearby lot). It's a nice, flat 30 minute walk to the heart of the old town district where beachside restaurants, bars, and events are plentiful. And don't worry about the vendors selling things on the beaches -- yes, there is a lot of them and they're persistent but never aggressive. A simple "no thanks" always moved them along. But be warned, there are nice things they're selling so make sure you have cash on hand (dollars or pesos) and don't be afraid to barter a bit. read more

Villa Premiere - A Moët moment - Hotels Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Originally planned to stay here for my husband's 50th birthday trip back in 2020 but the pandemic hit and we had to reschedule to 2021. Had to cancel again b/c of Omicron and rescheduled to 2022. (Villa Premiere was very understanding and accommodating in our rescheduling!). Finally got to stay here last week and it was worth the wait!! Hotel: Beautiful, clean, spacious (even though it may be smaller than some other resorts including sister hotel next door). 80 rooms. All rooms have ocean front view as the hotel is directly on beach. You get a glass of champagne and a 5 mins massage upon check in. The hotel located at the end of town so it is a little bit of a walk to the Malecon (5 city blocks), but perfect if you want to have access to city but not sleep with loud city noise. Amenities (that we used): 2 pools - 1 large one and 1 heated one connected to swim up bar. Comfortable pool chairs and pool towels provided. Alejandro and Jorge provided great poolside service and Paul "the pool guy" graciously provided and other pool need (umbrella adjustments, etc). There are chairs available on the beach as well and cabanas (they were being rebuilt due to the hurricane but up an running before we left). All chairs, cabanas, and Bali beds are first come first serve. Gym- small but has essentials - (free weights, machines, treadmills, elliptical, fridge with bottled water). The beautiful grass "jetty" with gazebo was unfortunately destroyed by the hurricane (which affected a wedding that was to occur there - but the resort quickly rebuilt a beautiful alternative which shows their commitment to customer service). All Inclusive: We did this and it was our first time ever doing one. They gave us a bracelet that we wore the entire time and it was scanned for everything that we ate/drank. (It was also used as our door key too). They put a $300 hold on your card for any incidentals outside of the inclusive - like tips or upgrades to meals like adding lobster). I wasn't sure how tipping worked with all inclusive but seeing as how the service was AMAZING each and every time, I tipped something each time. The tips came off the $300 hold - which made it easy. The prices for the food and drinks were relative to a boutique resort and do add up quickly, so we found the all inclusive option to be better for us. It was also good in a pinch as it includes room service (for early breakfast) and our fridge was stocked with some of our favorite drinks (that they ask you about before you come). The all inclusive includes amenities at their larger sister resort next door (Hotel Grand Buenaventura). The buffet at the Grand is awesome (we went for breakfast twice) Restaurants: La Ceiba - open air, right on the beach with beautiful ocean views. Had theme nights for dinner (Mexican, Italian, Spanish, etc) with upscale food and presentation. Breakfast menu was really diverse. We never had a bad dish!! And even ate octopus for the first time! The service is amazing!!!! On our second day there, they knew how we took our coffees. Shoutouts to Edgar, Armando and Cristian for making our dining experiences memorable, comfortable, and wonderful. La Corona - air conditioned restaurant with smaller menu but great food. We didn't eat there as we were drawn to the different menus at La Ceiba and the servers we came to know so well. Morales - this restaurant was closed the entire time we were there. This was kind of a bummer to me because for an all inclusive of a smaller resort, having only 2 restaurant options seemed limiting. But again - you get access to buffet and restaurants next door too. Room: we had deluxe room with a beautiful view and it was perfect for us. We had a lot of plans for excursions and sightseeing (as it was Day of the Dead), so we weren't in the room much. The bed was comfy and you get to pick a pillow from a menu (soft to firm) as well as a scent (incense) you would like. Room Included iron, board, hairdryer, safe, robes, Keurig coffee maker, stocked fridge. Shower had high shower head and water pressure was adequate. (Don't forget "C" = caliente = hot, "F" = frio = cold). We made sure we always had bottled water in the room to drink and brush teeth with. We did have a leak under our sink with water dripping and running down floor that was tended to when we told the front desk. Room service was about a 35 minute wait and food was hot. Service: From front desk (shoutout to Isabel), to concierge (shoutout to Mariana), to restaurant, pool, and housekeeping - the service here is INCREDIBLE!!!! They truly make you feel welcomed and cared for. We even asked about how to rent a car and they arranged to have a car from National delivered to the hotel for us and then have National come and pick up the next day. Villa Premiere made our first trip to Puerto Vallarta such a memorable one. We absolutely will stay here when we come back! read more

The service and the people working here are very nice but that's about it. We got the all inclusive and ate at the restaurants and got room service. The food was always very bland or poor. The drinks are equally unimpressive. At one meal, they sold us a $260 bottle of wine without telling us the price or warning us that it was not part of the all inclusive. On a Friday night they hosted a wedding with pounding bass coming from the beach until midnight. We had all the windows and doors closed but the music was so overwhelmingly loud that we could not sleep. When we complained to the hotel, they told us the wedding was part of different management and couldn't do anything. This was not the relaxing and romantic experience I paid for. Maybe all hotels in this area have these problems, in which case I recommend Hawaii for your vacation. read more

Do not stay at this hotel - don't be fooled by the online marketing/website! I was billed incorrectly, and have emailed the General Manager multiple times without response. I am disputing the charges with my credit card company. Although I had all-inclusive, the constant requests to scan my wristband and being asked my room number over and over by the same people was very annoying. Limited hours with the onsite restaurants forced me to eat at the pool bar several days. Food was just OK and service was very slow/spotty. Get more bartenders and servers! I was also screwed out of my $20 "cash deposit" for not wasting more than an hour of the whole 90 minutes of my previous vacation time on the "membership presentation," where they try to pressure you into buying "prepaid rooms." Didn't appreciate the hardcore sales pitch. And being next to a very noisy street without enough insulation made sleeping/concentrating in my room difficult - I had to constantly run the fan, TV, etc. Although the hotel is on the beach, it's in the middle of a ghetto-area, with an ugly, abandoned property as an eyesore next door. Will never stay at this hotel or visit PV again. Very disappointing! read more

The service here is OUT OF THIS WORLD! From the moment you check in, to the time you have your first meal. They call you daily to see if they can improve on anything for your experience. You can book discounted boat tours from the convenience of the lobby. Don't get me started on the AMAZING MASSAGES!! The drinks are all good, definitely get the job done ‍ every single meal is delicious!! It's truly stunning!!! Even the room service is plated to the T! This is an absolutely amazing experience you NEED to do at least once! May their business thrive and thank you for our wonderful memories this week read more

This is a cute boutique hotel. Close to downtown. The saff is nice, and helpful. Food was good too, but they only had one restaurant for lunch and breakfast. Wish they had more options. Good thing was that we were able to visit the sister property next door. It was much more happening and alive at night. Our hotel was dead by 10:30 pm. The hotel is great for a sleeping, eating, and more sleeping type of vacation. Our stay was nice but during meal times, we felt uncomfortable cos the waiters ask for tip at every meal, poolside orders. We've been to quiet a few all-inclusive hotels and have never been asked for tips.Though not mandatory and we are ok with the tipping culture but being asked for it everytime honestly just made our mealtimes a bit stressful. I wished they didn't ask guest who already have the all inclusive plan and make it feel so weird at the end of our meals/drinks. read more

My husband and I come here once a year. The BEST staff, amazing food, and incredible views! My husband ended up having a scary seizure at the resort the last time we went (we have been there 4 times previously) the staff, guests, and in staff doctor were amazing! They took such great care of us, and always felt the treatment was 5 star! We plan to come back every year! Such a quiet relaxing kid free place! read more

We absolutely loved staying here. Our room was really clean, the service was excellent. We weren't able to attend all the restaurants unfortunately since they were setting up for a large event that weekend but the food we had was fantastic. Definitely a great go to spot for a weekend getaway read more

Solid hotel for PV's old town. The rooms are clean and cool, the location is perfect and the views magnificent. Only complaint is how slow the service is at breakfast. We have not eaten other meals at the restaurants onsite. The restaurants in town are much better, in terms of options, and price. Whenever we get approached to sign up for the time share we just tell them we've heard the spiel before.. which we had and were asked to leave because we asked too many questions. read more

We were originally very excited for our stay at this resort last fall. That excitement didn't last long. When we showed up for our reservation last September the beach at the hotel was rocky, the water was murky, the room was small and musty and the food was mediocre. In fact, that first night was so bad that we decided to check out the next day per the cancellation policy posted on their website and confirmed in the reservation email. I anticipated having to pay for 2 days versus the 6 I had originally booked since the cancellation policy clearly states unless I checked out before noon, I would be charged for the night. I was totally OK with that. It was worth it to us to enjoy the rest of our stay in Puerto Vallarta... To my dismay, nearly 4 months later, I am still fighting to get my money back for the days I didn't stay at the resort. Even after being promised a refund by the Front Desk Manager, and even after disputing the charges with my credit card company twice, Villa Premier has refused to refund the money I paid for days I didn't stay at the resort even though their cancellation policy clearly states I was/am due a refund for the nights I didn't stay. I would warn anyone and everyone to stay far from this resort, unless you want the resort to steal your money. read more
