Luxury Oceanfront Villa in Punta Esmeralda with Gorgeous View!

Loved the place. Great pool and beach access.

We really enjoyed the property. Numerous pools and the restaurant and bar was close to condo. The view was magical and the beach was private. It would have been nice to have the hot tub clean and working. We will return!

the location and outdoor space was absolutely fantastic, however we were somewhat disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the unit(we needed to sweep the floor on the day we arrived); upon arrival the dishwasher and overhead vent were not working and although we requested bottled water (probably 8 times over our 13 day stay), we had not received any bottled water. This was a concern as we were travelling with a 5 month old baby and the bottled water was needed for making formula (very thankful for my sister who has a residence in LA CRUZ, she brought us bottled water several times.) I don't think the unit should be advertised with a fully functioning kitchen, when we had two appliances not working for the first 2 days of our visit. I also noticed on the ad that once a week housekeeping in included (we did not get any housekeeping during our 13 day stay). Our overall visit was great, we enjoyed the outdoor space, and spending time visiting our family in La Cruz, however the indoor space was a disappointment

Hade an amazing time with my family

My daughter and I stayed in Arrecife 1 for five days. Everything was perfect. The open feel of the unit, the overall layout, and in particular the private infinity pool, combined to make for a wonderful getaway spot. The community itself is beautiful, well maintained, and secure. We had a car, making trips to Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita a breeze. I highly recommend Arrecife 1 for couples, friend groups, and families. I will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at this place. The owner, Alejandro, was very communicative (WhatsApp is best) and helpful. There was a cost discrepancy with the housecleaning, and he fixed it immediately. The place is a bit difficult to navigate if you don't have a car- getting groceries and liquor and drinking water was a bit of a trial, but the public busses pass by and go into town pretty regularly. The taxis waiting outside the complex will charge much more than Uber, although Uber will take longer to get to you- but what's an extra 15 mins when you're on vacation, right? Heads up- the restaurant right next door is somewhat expensive AND only takes cash, so plan accordingly. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Conchita, a professional chef who prepared absolutely stunning and delicious meals for us. Alejandro put us in touch with her and it absolutely made our vacation. The beach in front of the house is not good for swimming, but we didn't even miss it because the multiple pools are so great. And there are pelicans right there ALL THE TIME!! It was so cool to watch them dive for their breakfast. I would definitely rent this place again- it is a perfect 8-person house.

This place is amazing. Location is incredible. So close to all the pools and the finicular. Also amazing pool and quick access to the beach. 3 large rooms with AC. Amazing for families. Kitchen is insanely stocked. Nothing to complain about. Will be back every year. The host / owner was so responsive and helpful - truly the best we’ve ever had.

The villa was clean and beautiful, a few steps from the ocean. Check-in was a breeze and the property manager was quick to respond and help. The complex is kept well and the staff were always nice. A little restaurant is onsite for days you don't feel like cooking, everything we ate there was delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get away.

We enjoyed an 8 day stay at Arricefe 1 in the Punta Esmeralda complex. We were a bit nervous since we hadn't seen a recent review and the photos had not been updated, but we were really pleasantly surprised. The complex is wonderful, the unit is in really great shape and the view/personal pool are truly incredible. In addition, the restaurant is right next door and they will happily deliver as a room service offering. We took advantage of this often. There are three menus/day and the offering is diverse and really excellent. The owner was on the property during our stay as he is having some refreshes done to his units. He had just painted and was having new outdoor cushions made that were being delivered right after our stay. So he really DOES keep on top of the units - making sure everything is in working order and updating where necessary. We would definitely come back to this property again. The view, the sounds of the ocean, the private pool and the restaurant offering room service all made this a 5 star experience for us! We also had Conchita, the cook that was recommended, come and prepare meals for us. That worked out really well also! I find it hard to imagine that anyone would not be 100% happy with this property. Unless you're looking for a party place with lots of nightlife, this is the place for you!

The property was beautiful and very clean. We loved the privacy and the private pool. We would all certainly come again!
