Incredible Stay

We had such an incredible stay at Hacienda del Mar. Agave Villas was great to work with from start to finish, and made booking the trip so simple. The villa itself was gorgeous- every room was beautiful, and we had so much fun in the pool. The staff was incredible- food was awesome, they were so kind and attentive, and our margarita glasses were never empty. We also thought it was a great deal for the value! Already dreaming about coming back!!

The best week ever!  Ernesto and Aaron made our family vacation absolutely perfect.  The drinks were always readily available and delicious.  Ernesto made whatever we wanted and everything we ate was great.  Very clean house with helpful staff.  Absolutely beautiful place and wonderful staff to spend the week.  We will definitely be coming back next year.

February 2023

This is our first time at Hacienda del Mar…the house is amazing, as was the staff.  Ernesto’s meals were fantastic!  I will always remember his Mexican Salsa.  He was beyond accommodating with every request.  The houseman was so very attentive not to mention the margaritas and mojitos were fabulous.  We were so sorry to go and thank you all for being so welcoming.

January 2023

Oh my, where to begin…Gorgeous Villa, perfect weather, amazing views, but most of all the outstanding staff!  Alejandro kept us entertained and well informed with humour and vast knowledge.  Ernesto treated us to three delicious gourmet meals a day – who needs to leave the villa when you have your very own 5-star chef!  Adriana and Perla could not have been kinder or more efficient.  They kept the villa spotless from top to bottom.  So thank you to the entire Hacienda del Mar team for such a memorable week!  We will definitely recommend this charming villa with it’s incomparable staff to friends and family.  P.S. Enersto, thank you so much for the brownie…best brownie ever.

October 2022

From the moment that we arrived at Hacienda del Mar we were treated as special guests.  Ernesto our chef, and Manuel our houseman were fabulous.  Even in preparation for Sunday their day off they prepared Breakfast Burritos for us in advance.  We arrived on the eve of Independence Day and went into town to experience the Mexican Heritage, which was awesome.  The next day was a beach day for us, the walk down the hill was not too difficult and we loved the warm water, looking for shells and just chilling.  Dinner was Ernesto’s specialty Filet Mignon and Lobster with Shrimp.  Saturday Manuel arranged a boat for snorkeling and sightseeing.  We spent the majority of the day out on the water.  Loved Los Arco and the fish we saw were just beautiful.  Highlight of the trip for adventure was Canopy River.   We enjoyed out time so much and would do it all over again. Amazing Fun and Great House! 

September 2022

This is my second stay here at Hacienda del Mar and it has yet to disappoint.  Alejandro and Ernesto have done another outstanding job making all feel welcomed, safe, taken care of, and loved.  I will continue coming back to this place that feels like home away from home.  Until we meet again.

September 2022

Puerto Vallarta has been such a pleasant surprise.  We will definitely be back.  The town, food and people are wonderful.  We have felt welcomed, taken care of and relaxed.  Ernesto has been a wonderful chef and taken such good care of us.  Adriana and Manuel, you have taken such good care of us.  Such a wonderful retreat.  It was just wonderful, thank you.

August 2022

Thank you for an exceptional time.  The house, the staff was more than I could have imagined.  The best trip ever.  Relaxation, sun, friends, family, and the views made for a fantastic time.  Looking forward to returning.

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay in Puerto Vallarta.  You took such great care of us each morning, afternoon and evening.  We really enjoyed the meals, snacks, drinks and attention to detail.  The tomato sauce is something we will try and recreate back in Austin.  Finally, Vanessa and Kenya took away our stress and muscle pain with their excellent massages right on the patio.

Thank you so much for giving us such a fabulous time in this beautiful house.  Ernesto, your food was out of this world.  So so delicious.  You worked so hard to address our vegan and vegetarian meal preferences.  Every dish and dessert was outstanding.  We will miss your food, thank you for teaching me Mexican sauces.  Manuel, thank you for being our concierge, bartender server all in one.  We loved the drinks you made and the boat and road trips for us.  You made sure that we were comfortable to every way possible.  Adriana, thank you for keeping the house clean and tidy and doing our laundry.  We had a wonderful vacation and hope to be back again soon.  The house is beautiful and so comfortable.  Can’t wait to come back.

I am so grateful for you all.  You made the trip wonderful.  The home is fantastic, great views, pool, food and company.  Thank you and I hope I can return soon.

April 2022

The entire experience was wonderful. We found the location to be perfect for what we were looking for. It was far enough south of the city to provide more privacy away from the activity of Puerto Vallarta, yet still close enough by taxi/bus to get to the heart of the city and activities within 15-20 minutes. The staff was absolutely professional, friendly, and so easy to communicate with. AirBNB wouldn’t assist us with the COVID testing we needed to re-enter the US, however the staff went above and beyond to coordinate someone to come directly to the house and complete the tests (for less money than it would have cost to take a taxi into town and test at the CMQ clinics). They were also extremely helpful assisting us in reserving any activities we were interested in. We ordered in home massages and they made reservations for an excursion with arrangement for transportation to the company providing the activity. Every bedroom had air conditioning and its own private bathroom. As noted from a few other reviews, you can hear traffic from the road between the house and the beach, however I didn’t find it to be bothersome nor did you see traffic or headlights at night. With the doors/windows closed at night and the AC running, I didn’t find traffic noise to hinder sleep. The food and beverages prepared for us were absolutely wonderful! Ernesto and Manual went to the market every other day to ensure fresh food and had a menu of options to consider. Every single meal and beverage were incredible! I rarely saw Juanita clean the house, but that was because she was so amazing at knowing where the guests were and where to clean. Beds, towels, and linens were cleaned/made daily and even with the kids making messes throughout the day, she somehow always seemed to sneak in and remain/straighten up the rooms. The house alone was worth the reservation, but the staff was the absolute difference maker in providing us an incredible vacation experience. 10/10 would not only want to return, but would also refer anyone I know looking for a memorable experience to consider this home. **Additionally, when I took into consideration my total expenses (airfare, airport round trip transportation, AirBnB reservation, food, tips, ect…) it was less expensive than making a reservation at an All-Inclusive resort/Travel expenses.

April 2022

We had an amazing time in Puerto Vallarta.  This is a trip that we will remember forever.  We loved the home and are so grateful for the hospitality provided by Manuel, Ernesto, and Juanita.  Our families were completely spoiled from the time we work up to the point we went to bed.  Thank you for this wonderful trip that we will never forget.

March 2022

January 2022

Hacienda del Mar is an amazing, beautiful paradise but the three of you made our trip the most incredible of my life.  I have never been on a vacation where I had nothing to worry about.  Adriana, you dashed in and kept things perfect and clean without anyone seeing you.  Manuel, you are observant, anytime we needed something you swooped in and had it in an instant.  You are the consummately host.  Ernesto, I would like to say one thing, I loved everything you cooked.  It was amazing and I could see the thought and love you put into it.  I love the massages.  Thank you all for making this my most amazing vacation ever.

December 2021

August 2021

I love Manuel and Ernesto!  This place was awesome, the food was great, service was great.  We were very happy and look forward to return.

August 2021

When they called Hacienda del Mar “Paradise” that was truly an understatement.  The house, the view, and the abundance of beautiful fauna and flora made our vacation incredible.  The most amazing part of our experience was the wonderful, friendly, and helpful staff.  Manuel, Ernesto, and Adriana made our vacation a trip we will never forget.  We can’t wait for our next adventure at Hacienda del Mar!

August 2021

July 2021

The best vacation!  We have had an amazing time and made so many fun memories.  Hacienda del Mar hospitality is amazing.  The staff are so friendly and helpful.  They were willing to assist in anyway to make our vacation more enjoyable.  I will definitely tell others and plan another trip here.

July 2021

Thank you for making this stay amazing, we had a great time.  Everything you all did made this a great experience.  Thank you for making my son a Birthday Cake and treating us so kindly.  Until we see each other again stay healthy and safe.

July 2021

Wow! What an amazing house, view, food, drinks and staff.  Amazing but Manuel in particular was the highlight.  He was both everywhere and nowhere in the perfect way.  Make sure to order his Margaritas rocks and frozen they are the best we had on our trip.  We will be back more times and are already planning our next stay.  In the meantime we are going to miss it dearly.

July 2021

We have been absolutely blown away from the moment we got out of the airport transfer.  Manuel met us at the door with a big welcome and a smile and strong muscles to carry my heavy bag up and down the stairs.  Ernesto had a yummie snack ready with dinner to fill us up.  Hacienda del Mar is beyond expectations and the view is breathtaking.  The margaritas were served often and stayed cold.  Manuel made a fabulous host and bartender.  Ernesto cooks the most amazing meals and we have eaten at fabulous restaurants around the world.  Adrianna was amazing always making sure everything was clean and in order.  We will for sure be back and could not think of another place to stay than here.

July 2021

Thank you for an incredible family vacation.  Manuel made us feel like we were at home.  He is so helpful.  The chef made the most amazing meals we enjoyed every bite.  The highlight of the trip was the mariachi band that performed at the villa for us.  Adrianna did an incredible job making us comfortable and making sure everything was always clean.  We can not wait to come back soon. 

July 2021

Anders wants to take Manuel home with him.  Everything was wonderful, the swimming, the drinks, the delicious meals not to mention the beautiful grounds…just paradise.  I can never say thank you enough.  I have never had such a beautiful birthday celebration.  Muchas Gracious!

June 2021

Thank you for an amazing vacation.  This was our third time back to Hacienda del Mar and it keeps getting better.  Enjoyed a beautiful time with family.  The service was superb!  We were treated so well we didn’t want to leave.  We will be coming back soon.  Thank you Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana.

June 2021

Thank you so much for the best vacation ever!  Manuel made sure we had anything we wanted-so spoiled! Jet skis, boats, taxis, drinks-you say what you would like and he gets it.  Ernesto is so nice and makes the best food.  Thank you Ernesto for shopping, cooking, and letting me hang out with you in the kitchen.  Adriana made sure our rooms were spotless and ready for us.  Mexico is so beautiful with the most kind and welcoming people.  We can’t wait to come back.  Manuel-thank you for creating our new favorite drink, “The PVR!!”

We are leaving PV with so many incredible memories.  This was by far the most beautiful home and service was top notch.  Manuel and Ernesto took such good care of us.  The meals were delicious and we were treated like royalty.   Truly impressed with the level of cleanliness the home and that all excursions were cover by Manuel.  We are all planning our return and there is no way we would stay anywhere but this home.  Thank you for opening up your gorgeous home to us.  We are so sad to leave.

May 2021

Hacienda del Mar was by far our favorite time in Puerto Vallarta.  We have been To PV several times but the home, staff and service has by far exceeded all others.  Manuel was an exceptional host who made us feel welcome and helped us with any request.  He suggested great activities and was overall an outstanding guy.  Ernesto was an incredible chef and prepared the most delicious meals we have ever tasted.  From breakfast to dinner we were always full and happy.  Adriana was lovely and did an amazing job keeping the house clean and welcoming.  Overall kudos to this staff – you will definitely see us again!     

May 2021

To convey appreciation for the incredible service and welcoming spirit of this staff is a difficult task.  They took great care to make every moment special.  They were thoughtful and we enjoyed out time getting to know them and this wonderful property.  Thank you to Ernesto, Manuel and Adriana for making Puerto Vallarta so very special, safe and memorable.

February 2020

Wow…our family had the most amazing time in this beautiful home.  The house, the views, the unbelievable staff-we can honestly say this was our favorite vacation to date.  Manuel kept our drinks full and brought such an amazing energy to the house.  Ernesto made the most delicious food we’ve had in a long time.  Arianna kept the house spotless throughout our entire stay.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

February 2020

The house, the grounds, the pool, the food, the daily whale watching, and most of all our hosts Manuel, Ernesto and Arianna were perfect for what may have been a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation. 

February 2020

Had the most wonderful holiday.  The home is truly beautiful, such a gift to have been able to stay.  Manuel, Ernesto and Arianna kept us fed and waited on.  Thank you for all the great times.

February 2020

Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home!  Our family vacation was one fantastic adventure.  Manuel, Ernesto and Arianna are incredible people who we greatly enjoyed spending time with we can not express enough gratitude for this experience.

February 2020

What an incredible vacation!  Our group of 10 girlfriends had a wonderful time and made memories that will last a life.  The house was gorgeous and so comfortable – perfect for our large group.  But the highlight was the staff, Manuel was so accommodating and made sure we always had what we needed – especially one of his delicious spicy margaritas.  Ernesto’s food was the best we’ve had, we will be dreaming about his coconut shrimp.  Truly every meal was exceptional and better than the next.  Adrianna kept the house sparking, no easy feat in a house of 10 women.  This was an exceptional vacation in every since of the word.  We are already planning when we can come back.

January 2020

What an amazing place.  Thank you so much to the Hacienda del Mar Staff, Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana were awesome.  Food, drinks and service were top notch.  What a vacation!

January 2020

What a fabulous week!  This was the perfect house for our three families to relax, swim, eat, and play games together.  The staff was top notch.  Within two days we felt like they were part of our family.  Manuel was extremely helpful in teaching us some Spanish and helping arrange activities for us to do.  Ernesto made wonderful meals breakfast, lunch, and dinner while catering to several allergies.  Adrianna was amazing at keeping the house clean and beautiful every single day.  One of our favorite touches was keeping up the holiday decorations throughout our stay that gave us an extra homey feel.  

January 2020

We, eleven guests loved our stay in this special hacienda with Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana.  The staff was heavenly and very professional, attentive, helpful, sincere, and graceful in taking care of every need for eight days.

January 2020

What a lovely home!  My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves so much and the staff was outstanding not to mention the chef’s food was perfect.  Great property, great views…that say’s it all!

December 2019

Beautifully appointed, incredible views, super comfortable beds, and a warm pool we couldn’t stay away from. But, the staff most elevated our experience. Michelle made all logistics before the trip seamless, coordinating multiple families arrival information and setting up arrival and return transportation for those who wanted it. She also ensured that groceries, drinks, and first meals we wanted were available upon arrival. Manuel was always eager to make arrangements for taxis, restaurants, day trips, to make drinks the moment we returned, and all-around to make our visit as relaxing, as easy, and fun as possible. Ernesto created delicious snacks, breakfasts, and dinners from the moment we arrived, from ceviche, to empanadas, to shrimp, steak, and lobster. Everything was scrumptious – meals that a wide variety of palates and dietary requirements looked forward to. His chilaquiles and huevos rancheros were as good as any we’d ever tasted. Last but not least, Adriana singlehandedly(?!) kept a large house full of kids and vacation-minded grown ups spotless. We dubbed her ‘the ninja’ because cleaning occurred so unobtrusively we didn’t know it was happening. Together they spoiled us rotten —hospitality service as good as it gets, anywhere. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. We cannot wait to return!

November 2019

This was our third house rented in Puerto Vallarta and by far the best property and staff.  We will definitely return!  Despite the tropical storms the staff made out stay comfortable and our meals exceptional.  Our party of eight had a wonderful time.

October 2019

Our vacation at Hacienda del Mar was great.  The house is beautiful and all the staff were wonderful.  We spent a lot of relaxing and visiting with each other while lounging at the pool.  The food was great and the staff took great care of us.  Thank you again we can not wait to return

October 2019

Thank you for providing such a warm and wonderful place to stay while in Puerto Vallarta.  The location is incredibly convenient to all areas and access to beach.  The best part of our family trip was the service and hospitality that Manuel, Ernesto and Adrianna provided.  From day one they have been outstanding.  Ernesto’s cooking was amazing and I recall the kindness they provided to each of every single member of my family, especially out two children.  Can’t wait to come back!

August 2019

I had the time of my life during our stay.  Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana were like part of the family.  As much as I am going to miss Puerto Vallarta I am going to miss the staff more.  Thank you for everything!

August 2019

Thank you for a wonderful trip!  Everything was perfect.  Ernesto’s cooking was wonderful and delicious.  Manuel was very accommodating and personable, and a special thank you to Adrianna for keeping our rooms clean and tidy.  We loved every minute of our stay here and will definitely be back again.

August 2019

We had such a wonderful vacation with the kids!  My husband and I stayed in October and we were so in love with Hacienda del Mar that we had to come back as we wanted to share with the kids.   Manuel, Ernesto and Adrianna made out stay perfectly remarkable, we were pampered from the moment we arrived.  We were completely spoiled and the service was to another level.  I have stayed in many places and I can say no one has compared in how well we are treated.  We are already planning to return in October.  Hacienda del Mar will defiantly be a family tradition.  Thank you Manuel, Ernesto and Adrianna.  The food service and hospitality were awesome.

July 2019

Our entire family had a wonderful vacation at this amazing villa with world class service from Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana.  We loved Puerto Vallarta and Hacienda del Mar.

June 2019

We had an amazing experience and will be coming back in the future. Having Manuel, Ernesto and Adrianna take care of our every need made our vacation one of complete relaxation. We didn’t want to eat anywhere else because Ernesto’s cooking was so delicious. Adrianna had our rooms spotless and tidy everyday and Manuel did everything. He took care of reservations, rode the public bus with us, literally our every need was met. The Villa has an amazing view and the bedrooms are quite spacious. All 10 of my family members agreed that our beds and pillows were so comfortable that we wanted to take them home. This is the perfect place to stay. We were close enough to town to take a quick taxi ride but far enough away that you have the peace of the hills and ocean view. The beach is also just a quick walk away. Michelle the manager was always prompt in her responses and very detailed. She made the planning so easy. We will definitely make plans to come back.

June 2019

Hacienda del Mar is an amazing place, not only are the views great the staff went above and beyond to make our trip special.  The rooms are great and each room has a view of the ocean.  I am already planning my next trip!

June 2019

I’m so glad I found this property in Puerto Vallarta. From day one Property Manager Michelle was always on point. I have to say this was the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time. The staff was very attentive, accommodating, helpful and made us feel at home. We miss chef Ernesto everything he cooked for us was delicious. The children did not want to eat anywhere else, they also loved his cooking. We also miss Manuel and Adriana they were the best. We will definitely be back and I would definitely recommend this place.

June 2019

Hacienda del Mar was an amazing and special memory made by three families.  We were awed by home and impressed by the staff, Manuel, Adriana, and Chef Ernesto!  We could not have asked for a better family vacation.  We were truly spoiled by the staff and leaving here is very difficult.  We enjoyed Mariachi Band, drinks and wonderful food.  The vacation will be very hard to surpass in the future as we leave a great family vacation behind.

June 2019

We came to PV with our family and friends to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. We were greeted with friendly smiles and a spotless beautiful home. Every room is spacious with in suite bathrooms and gorgeous views. It is paradise! What really made our visit was the house staff! They are so friendly, attentive and warm. We weren’t planning on having so many meals at home but it was hard to beat Ernesto’s cooking! We actually ended up cancelling a lot of reservations and just eating at home. Manuel was always there as soon as we’d arrive back from our activities ready to mix up some cocktails or anything else we needed. We felt like royalty the entire stay. The house was beautiful but this staff is what will keep bringing us back. I cannot recommend this house enough!

April 2019

Amazing…what a wonderful treat to be pampered by a wonderful staff.  Our meals where top notch just delicious,  I almost don’t want to share this secret paradise.  I will truly miss our staff, they have become friends for life.

March 2019

Manuel you are the best!  Amazing time with you and staff.  The food and service was amazing and we enjoyed the beautiful view and the entertainment from the great staff.

February 2019

This is our third visit to Hacienda del Mar and each time we fall more in love with the villa.  The house is perfect for 10 college friends to hang out and relax.  Thank you for the great memories.

February 2019

Everything was perfect!  The staff was amazing and very helpful.  We are going to miss everything about our stay and can not wait to return again soon.  What an amazing getaway.

January 2019

Courtney’s 50th Birthday!  It’s hard to put into words just how special this trip was…Woman came together, many for the very first time wanting and needing a get away.  Hoping for a rejuvenating celebration of life and love and friendship.  We got it all and then some.  Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana are simply amazing and made us all feel at home.  That you so much!

December 2018

We loved Hacienda del Mar.  Ernesto’s chilaquiles for breakfast were amazing!  The house was always immaculately maintained.  We recommend checking out the beach across the street for cheap drinks and an almost private beach.  We highly recommend dinner on the beach at El Dorado, the lobster medallions are out of this world!  Cafe Des Artiste is an amazing spot for a special dinner.  The pumpkin and prawn soup is a must try!  We loved our PV visit.

November 2018

This was a great stay!  Manuel was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area.  His professionalism was always unmatchable and he made me and my family very comfortable.  Ernesto’s food was fantastic.  His meals were perfectly timed and proportioned.  His personality was very likable which was a nice bonus to his excellent food!  Adriana, though quiet was always attentive to keeping the house clean all the time, she was great.  All in all Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana felt like extended family and we all felt like we have made new friends and are sad to leave.

November 2018

What a beautiful property and very special staff!  We cannot imagine staying anywhere else for future visits to Puerto Vallarta.  It truly felt like like a home away from home.  Manuel, Ernesto, and Adriana are all amazing…so attentive and accommodating.  They made us feel like family.  We are saddened to leave, but very much look forward to staying here again.

November 2018

I couldn’t of imagined a better place to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.  It was a magical, romantic, and beautiful get away.  Manuel, Ernesto, and Adriana made our stay here one of the best of all times.  Manuel was very attentive and saw to our every need.  The chef’s meals were so delicious and the seafood was superb.  I can’t wait to come back and bring my family.  We fell in love with Hacienda del Mar and the wonderful people that work here.  Thank you Manuel, Adriana and Ernesto for making this anniversary on I will never forget.

October 2018

Girls Trip was a success!  Food was fantastic the service was spectacular, we kept saying that we were going out for dinner but never did!  Manuel made our days so easy I don’t think we moved at all.  Five girls from Dallas just loved it!  We will return.

October 2018

Amazing Property with excellent staff!  Very attentive with excellent food.  Hope to come back soon and often.  Thank you!

October 2018

Girls trip and it was amazing, the home was perfect!  The staff made the stay Ernestos’ cooking and wonderful meals kept us very full and happy!  Manuel was spectacular, he made our stay easy and relaxing.  We will be back to this location again.

October 2018

What an amazing place!  It far exceeded  our expectations there wasn’t anything more we could have asked for.  Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana were absolutely the best.  Everything you could want or ask for was taken care of.  Manuel is on top of everything, never had to wait for a beverage or a meal.  The meals were fabulous, so fabulous, we never went out!  Hope to return soon and have another amazing stay.  Thank you!

October 2018

We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda del Mar.  The villa was everything we had hoped for and the staff was absolutely fantastic.  I would highly recommend this property for your next vacation.  Ernesto, Manuel, and Adriana made it so special with excellent meals, and impeccable service taking care of all of us.

October 2018

What a beautiful place of the world we get to enjoy, thanks to a comfortable villa.  Manuel, who attended our every need, and Ernesto an artist with food.  Thank you for a memorable stay in your home.

September 2018

What a wonderful villa with spacious rooms and beautiful decor.  The outdoor space, the pool area the view are all fantastic.  We appreciate so much the excellent care by the staff.  Manuel made everything excellent, and Ernesto is one of the best chef’s and a food artist.  The care that goes into the villa is seen by the wonderful housekeeper Adriana.  What a piece of paradise on Earth!

September 2018

Perfect place to celebrate with our family the 40th birthday of my daughter.  Everything could not have been better, food, weather, company and staff!

September 2018

Spectacular property with all of the comforts one would need.  The staff made our stay magical.  Manuel, Ernesto are 1st class hosts.  Ernesto prepared the most amazing meals and Manuel saw to our every need.  We are so grateful for out time at Hacienda del Mar and will certainly be back.  Thank you!

September 2018

We had so much fun at Hacienda del Mar!  The staff was so nice and made sure we always had a drink in hand.  Wish we could stay!

August 2018

Hacienda del Mar was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday with my dearest friends.  We had an amazing girl’s trip only made better with the impeccable service we received from Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana who anticipated our every need.  The villa is so beautifully decorated with all the amenities you could every need including.  The most comfortable beds and soft sheets.  We loved the infinity pool, which is where we spent most of our time relaxing and drinking cocktails.  Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us where we have made memories to last a lifetime!

July 2018

We enjoyed our visit immensely.  We had friends join us in PV to celebrate a birthday.  We came from all over, Denver, Dallas, New Jersey and Los Angeles.  Our memories will last a lifetime and we thank Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana for making it effortless and so relaxing.

July 2018

Hacienda del Mar is such a wonderful place with exceptional people that work at the villa.  All three of them made our stay fantastic and so comfortable.  We will definitely make a trip back to Puerto Vallarta and again stay at the Hacienda.  I’d like to thank each one of the staff for the personal touch that they offered all of us to the amazing meals, clean villa and waiting on us personally with margaritas.  I know we used a lot of towels and it was so nice that we always had a fresh one if needed.  Thank you again for such a wonderful experience and hope to see you all soon.

March 2018

We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda del Mar.  The staff is wonderful and fun to work with.  Can’t thank them enough and this is shared with the lovely house itself with excellent accommodations.  We were pampered from the moment we arrived with the service, amazing food, beautiful views.  We can’t wait to return.

February 2018

From the moment the eight of us entered paradise we decided to never leave.  Our every expectation has been exceeded.  The property is awesome, well designed as it accommodated eight of us very well.  The peaceful multi-gathering areas with the infinity pool work perfectly.  The staff…just perfect!  The service, the food, the cleanliness was just wonderful.  We were so spoiled we never wanted to leave.  We are looking forward to our return to paradise.

February 2018

What can we say…what an awesome trip to Puerto Vallarta and we are so happy we found this Gem of a place.  This has been the most fabulous place to play, eat, make memories, relax and learn all sorts of great things.  We loved the outdoor entertainment area as all 9 of us enjoyed our time together.  Our meals around the outdoor table was awesome!  This was fantastic for all of us as it was clean, warm and relaxing.  Manuel was attentive, kind, helpful and we appreciated all his attention.  Our chef was fantastic and thanks to hime, we all gained 45 pounds collectively.  Our drinks, our food and this house amazing!  The time spent here again has been great.  We will be coming again for another visit.

February 2018

Magnificent home with outstanding features!  Manuel and staff made us comfortable, overfed us with gourmet meals, arranged memorable trips, and provided more than we expected!

February 2018

We were pampered from the minute we arrived until we left.  The staff is amazing: Manuel tended to our every need.  Ernesto shopped for and cooked all the delicious meals and Adriana kept our rooms and the whole house sparkling clean.  We were there with 3 other couples, some of our closest friends, and I would highly recommend Hacienda del Mar for a group such as ours.  Each room is very private with its own bathroom, there is plenty of space inside and out for sitting and charring, eating, sunbathing, etc.  The (gated) beach is only a short walk away and easy to access.  If you need somewhere to be pampered and to relax, this is the spot for you.  I only wish we could have stayed longer.

February 2018

From the moment you walk into Hacienda del Mar you will be awed, pampered and impressed.  The villa is absolutely beautiful, with breath taking views, privacy for guests in 4 large ensuite bedrooms, each with balconies and walk in closet.  The staff was truly outstanding!  Ernesto, Manuel and Adriana did a spectacular job of making us feel very welcome and providing for our every need.  The food was fabulous, the drinks always ready and the villa constantly cleaned and meticulous.  Michelle helped us with all our questions and requests and was always spot on with her recommendations.  We had a truly great time at Hacienda del Mar and highly recommend this property and the wonderful people that made our stay so enjoyable!  Thank you!

February 2018

Hacienda del Mar was exceptional in every way.  The property manager Michelle handled every advance detail.  The property was exceptionally well designed and maintained with indoor/outdoor living space.  Four adult couples found the accommodations to work very well.  The staff was extremely responsive to our every need and the food was so good we decided to eat every dinner “at home”.  It was nice to be in an upscale quiet housing community nestled in the mountain, but an easy ride to the action in the city of Puerto Vallarta.  We all said it would be great to return again another time.  Highly recommended!

February 2018

Just a short note of thanks and sincere appreciation to Ernesto, Manuel & Adriana for making our stay at Hacienda del Mar a trip of a life time!  From your welcoming guidance and help prior to our arrival, to the attention of every detail by Ernesto, Manuel and Adriana during our stay, it was a tremendous experience!  Thank you so much for making our vacation special.  The villa was absolutely gorgeous; roomy, very clean, beautiful views and private!  The food and drinks were terrific and always served with an exceptional presentation.  Again thank you and all the staff supporting Hacienda del Mar!

February 2018

The staff here made staying here ever more beautiful than the house and the view.  Our beds were always clean, the flowers always fresh, clothes were washed not to mention the turn down service with mints on our pillows.  The villa is beautiful with amazing views.  We hope to return again soon.

January 2018

Your house and your excellent staff were perfect.  Manuel and Ernesto went above and beyond to make our stay easy and fun.  Manuel was professional and very helpful with our every request.  Ernesto made shopping easy and always delicious.  Adriana did an excellent job of keeping all our spaces fresh and inviting.  Well done all and thank you.

January 2018

We loved staying at Hacienda del Mar!  Everything about our stay has been amazing.  Gorgeous home and views.  Manuel, Ernesto and Adriana are so gracious and made us feel so welcome.  We now have family in Puerto Vallarta.  We look forward to seeing you when we come back to Puerto Vallarta.

January 2018

June 2017

We had an amazing time here at Hacienda del Mar!  The house was so relaxing and perfect, but it would not have been the same without the top notch help from Manuel, Olga and Adriana.  They really made our vacation.  Thank you so much.

May 2017

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Hacienda del Mar!  The highlights for us were the comfort of the villa – all the bedrooms and bathrooms are wonderful and well-appointed – and easy access to the beautiful Playas Gemelas.  The last view days the waves were small and the ocean was like a lake – perfect for even out younger children to swim.  We also received wonderful service from the staff at the villa – our every need was taken care of.  Just a fabulous family holiday!

April 2017

Hacienda del Mar certainly did not disappoint!  Not for one second!  The home is tucked into a quiet gated area 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta.  Super cute neighborhood, grounds very well maintained.  The moment we arrived we were greeted by Manuel, the house manager.  He and his staff were, quite frankly, irreplaceable!  Gave us 7 days of first class service.  Chef Olga made the most fabulous meals and turned every one of our requests into a reality.  Awesome views throughout.  Easy beach access if you like swimming in the ocean like us.  Really an ideal hideaway for any family, even if you have little ones!  Highly recommend.

April 2017

Words can not express how much we enjoyed our trip to Hacienda del Mar.  The views, the weather, the food where absolutely unforgettable.  Our family all decided this was our BEST trip so far.  But let’s talk about what really made this trip what it was our new amazing friends, Manuel, Olga and Adriana.  Manuel went above and beyond to make our family comfortable!  He was the main reason we really did have a fiesta!  Please know how thankful we were to him.  Olga’s food was out of this world!  We ate like Kings and Queens each day.  We might be leaving a few pounds heavier, but it was so worth it.  Adriana made us feel so comfortable and clean each day.  The house always looked so beautiful and we appreciate that so much.  We made memories that we will never forget!  The place and the three of you forever hold a special place in our hearts.  God Bless and thank you.  It’s not good-by, it’s see you later.  The Lowell Family

March 2017

We had such an amazing trip at Hacienda del Mar.  Manuel and Olga were so incredible and helped us out with everything we could possibly need.  The beach was so wonderful and easily accessible.  Our meals were amazing, our rooms were kept so nicely, and we felt so safe with the security.  Thank you for everything, we are so sad to leave!

February 2017

A beautiful vacation in paradise!  Thank you for a great week.  Manuel, Olga, and Adriana were professional yet personable.  They made our stay everything we wanted and more.

Olga made our stay at Hacienda del Mar made our vacation so special with all her amazing meals.  This was our second visit to the villa and everything was again Excellent.  The meals where outstanding each day, just loved the Huevos Rancheros.  Such a beautiful home in a beautiful setting.  Don’t miss the bus into town!

January 2017

Amazing vacation to remember in the beautiful Hacienda!  The staff went above and beyond to take care of us, especially Manuel!  Don’t miss dinner at Tony’s in Mismaloya.  We are looking forward to our return.

January 2017

We love Hacienda del Mar, being pampered by this wonderful staff is wonderful!  This is a special beautiful place for us and we’ll be back.

January 2017

We had a wonderful time at Hacienda del Mar.  The house is nice, with a great view of the Puerto Vallarta bay.  There is plenty space in the villa since it has three floors and each bedroom has its own bathroom.  Everything was absolutely comfortable.  The service we received from the staff was impressive.  They helped us all the time and the food they prepared was exquisite!!

December 2016

What a wonderful relaxing time.  We even had spa service at the villa, and the manicures and pedicures where so wonderful by the pool.  The staff was incredible and so wonderful.  Looking forward to our return.

November 2016

Thank you so much for everything.  You all were so kind and friendly with us, and everyone was so accommodating and we will never forget this amazing vacation.  We can not wait to return to the beautiful property.

November 2016

We had a wonderful time here, our favorite was relaxing and playing games.  My favorite meal was taco night with caesar salad, and Chef Olga letting us help her prepare dinner.  We had a great time and I can not wait to return.

November 2016

Our family of 10 came together to celebrate Thanksgiving and what perfect weather that we had.  The staff was great and what amazing food that was prepared.  Manuel made sure that all our needs were met, what a perfect vacation in a beautiful villa.

November 2016

Thank you once again, we had a fantastic time at Hacienda del Mar.  We can not wait to come back here the staff is so wonderful and we never had to do one thing.  We can not say enough wonderful things about them, they are amazing.  Looking forward to our next visit.

October 2016

Thank you so much for the hospitality at this beautiful villa, absolutely gorgeous!  Manuel was so attentive, Olga was amazing and Adriana kept our room and the villa so clean.  It was very nice to have my family be able to stay with my husbands family.  We lived like Kings!

October 2016

Thank you for making our trip so amazing.  We enjoyed staying in your villa and it definitely made our trip!  Everything was perfect and Manuel was the best.  Thanks again, the Cali Girls

October 2016

The property is gorgeous but the staff is the reason we will be back.  Manuel goes above and beyond.  He did everything from margaritas to arranging in house massages to hauling our cooler to the beach.  Chef Olga is a five star chef.  Wish I could post food pictures on this review because the food was a work of art as well as gourmet.  Andrea kept the place spotless.  The villa is located in a gated/guarded neighborhood with live camera surveillance throughout the neighborhood.  We felt completely safe.  We loved the pool and patio area…spent all our time there.  We were a group of nine and everyone loved this vacation!  One couple is already planning a return trip in September.

June 2016

What an incredible week with our family!  Our Mother-in-Law was able to join us and spending the quality time with all the family before heading back to school was great.  The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our family.  Manuel made sure we always had a drink in our hand, and to say he is amazing would not begin to describe him.  Manuel carried all of our items to the beach for us, set it up and returned to pick us up.  The beach area is so private the sand is white and very clean.  Manuel also took our children and husband zip lining for the morning.  Olga was amazing with all of the wonderful dishes that where made.  We even brought back fish that we caught and she prepared it for dinner, delicious!  The villa was always clean, rooms fresh, laundry was always done and even ironed.  The layout of the property is wonderful, beautiful and so relaxing.  The villa’s view is just breathtaking and the city lights and fireworks at night, it can not compare.  We are looking forward to our return to Hacienda del Mar, and the amazing staff!

June 2016

Your home is warm and welcoming.  Thank you for sharing a wonderful venue, the accommodations, staff, and views were spectacular.  This will be a memorable trip and I’m certain we will be back.  Special kudos for Manuel and Chef Olga, they made us feel at home.  Many recommendations on coming your way.

June 2016

We have had a trip of a lifetime!  The beautiful home you have made here is so amazing, the walks around the grounds so are wonderful.  We so loved Manuel and Olga you have the best staff that treated us as Kings & Queens!  We had a fantastic time one that will never be forgotten in our family.  Thank you to Michelle and Angeles for all their help with our pre-arrival requests and organization that they did.  We look forward to our return.

May 2016

This was such a fabulous house, the perfect mix of luxury and comfort.  A great location to get anywhere, including downtown in 10 minutes.  The private beach and pool were both beautiful and so relaxing.  The sunrise and sunset view from the house and beach truly were a piece of paradise.  Manuel was absolutely fantastic, he couldn’t have been more accommodating or helpful getting us around PV and to all activities we wanted to do, including massages at the house overlooking the ocean.  His margaritas are delicious, a must have and a perfect way to start your trip off.  We truly couldn’t have had a more fun, relaxing trip and the house was so perfect to make it all happen!  I would recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway and plan to come back for future vacations for sure!

April 2016

We had a wonderful time at Hacienda del Mar.  The chef’s cooking has been sensational.  Manuel was magnificent he looked after our needs and requests that we had all week and this will be a week to remember.  Just hope that I can recreate his Pina Colada’s for my friends when I return home.
