Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway - Adults Only

What a fabulous hotel….. staff amazing. Nothing too much trouble. Hotel overlooking the beach / beautiful sunsets every day . Somewhere you could come back o every year. Love it

Arrived at Villa Premiere 2/16/26 before the events of 2/22/26. Everything was going perfectly, things went to crap in an instant. But the staff was perfect, did not panic, we were not at all threatened. But as the day went on we learned the hard truths of what was going on. The staff was absolutely perfect in handling the situation. Did not feel threatened or in danger!!!!! Everyone at the resort was absolutely taking the situation very seriously, but did not panic or made us feel at all uncomfortable. Worked 48 hours because they could not go home to their families and took care of the patrons of the resort. Being very close to the staff the night of the attack on the city, spent the night in an alley outside of the resort having a view beers and listening to the concerns !!!! They were not able to get home to their families!!!!!!!! Unbelievable listening to the real people who are unable to get home to their families. But they stayed at the resort and took care of the people for more than 48 hours. I feel that the people coming to the city now are not really really understanding of what happened here. They are on a plane with less than 50 people and think they are are doing something something special. They get here and don’t realize what happened and think they are somehow special because they are here. Don’t ask how they are doing since the ordeal. Just want to be treated special because they are here!!! Common people!!!! This was a very traumatizing experience for these people!!! Feel a little compassion for them, listen to what happened!!! All I hear is that I’m here take care of me. Common people they may not have a job tomorrow. Special Thanks goes out Enrique, Victor, Alejhandro, Javier, Jorge, Paul, Alberto, Hugo, Adon, Tammy, Dario, Lourdes, Edgar, Julio, Lasandro, Veronica, Joaquin, Enrique(2). I know I have forgotten some, but know that YOU are not forgotten. Thanks for helping us through this.

We have been coming here for a few years twice a year. The staff is what keeps us coming back. The centric location is a huge attraction. The show stopper is the comfort in the hotel and the beach front view. If you’re a member and you opt for all inclusive you have the option of using the facility at the sister hotel next door. The food and beverages are great. Walkable to downtown and zona romántica or you can take a bus a couple of blocks away. The area is up and coming with my prediction that within 5 years it will be gentrified and possible early zona romántica 2. There are plenty of restaurants and even grocery stores nearby. Again it is the staff that keep us returning again and again.

Richard (of the orange glasses) & D'Arcy here. We visited Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel for the latter half of January 2026 for the 12th time! We first went in January 2014, booked it via an Air Canada vacation, and had minimal expectations. Fast forward . . . and except for the covid January of 2021 we’ve returned every January since. The hotel itself is charming, all rooms with spectacular ocean views, and some staff have been there since we first went, but regardless we are treated as “family” by all. It is small-ish, with ~70 rooms, so ~150 adults (no children) at capacity. We always pass on the All Inclusive option, since we’re not really daytime drinkers (with lots of exceptions), and Puerto Vallarta has *so* many fabulous restaurants of all price ranges and types. We *do* have their fabulous breakfast every day, as well as delicious snacks from their Pool and Lunch Menus throughout the afternoon on the beach. That having been said, my sister who also goes each year, as well as others who are on the All Inclusive plan, rave about the dinners and all-day drinks and wine service. The staff are uniformly wonderful: Some shout outs. . . at the Front Door (Lisandro . . .), Front Desk (Lorena, Dario . . ), Pool (Paul, Enrique, Jorge, Victor, Javier, Alejandro . . . ), Breakfast (Edgar, Noel, Erick . . .), Guest Relations (Tammy . ), Room Staff, Turn-down service in the evening. Apologies to any not explicitly mentioned. The ocean front facilities around the pools and on the beach are super comfortable. There is some beach vendor activity, but given the Hotel’s specific location, it is low key and unobtrusive. Lots of people swim in the ocean, but the reality is that it is never super calm, so it can definitely be a bit iffy for unconfident swimmers. The location is quite central, a short stroll to the Malecon, and a longer stroll or short cab/uber to the Zona Romantica. So restaurants, music, cabarets, art galleries, piano bars, clubs are all extremely accessible – with no safety concerns that we’ve concerned in all the years we’ve gone. This is definitely our winter home away from home and we’re already booked for January 2027. 😊 Highly recommended.

Fabulous resort, awesome staff, friendly and helpful. Excellent food and great atmosphere, whales swimming along the shore at breakfast. Shout out to Roberto Cortes concierge so accommodating and helpful.

Beautiful hotel with awesome beach front and ocean views! You can see the whales from your balcony!! Javier de La O provided excellent dining experiences. While Paul Rodriguez meet all our needs around the pool. The rest of the staff were attentive, caring and beyond accommodating. Room was clean and attended to daily. Massages were phenomenal, thanks Veronica and her co-staff. Affordable as well. Downtown Malecon had our hearts with it's acceptance for all and the politeness of its locals blew us away! Puerto Vallarta I will see you again soon!

What a disappointment: A two-star hotel masquerading as a four-star operation. The 'economy' rooms (that run about $ 600/night currently) are tiny, have awkward tub/showers, with a sink and counter area big enough to fit 2 toothbrushes (no storage space). The pools are nice to look at, but you only get to see them from your windows, because all the guests run out around 6 am and place books & items to save the deck chairs. All are taken by 7 am. And people are verocious about "owning" them. The food at breakfast is cold, awful, and the service is slow. The drinks at the swim-up bar are truly awful--my husband ordered a Negroni that he said tasted exactly like Hawaiian Punch. My margarita was oddly tasteless. The water situation is deplorable: if you drink the water from the faucet, you lose. The housekeeping staff (which is, in my opinion, 5 star worthy), will bring you 2 small bottles of water daily, with a $ 3 US dollar charge each. Coffee pods are similarly charged. The whole operation is cheesy, unrewarding, and not befitting the nice hotel this used to be 10-12 years ago. The view - which you can get from the free public beaches is indeed gorgeous.

Don't get an upgrade to a suite. You then actually have less ocean view. Can't see it from your bed. Rooms don't have a ceiling fan which would be nice. Great bed n room. Great service and efforts to ensure you enjoy your stay. Limited beach chairs. Pool chairs always full at high season. Great location. Walkability to malecon etc. Fab massage.

Perfect location, you walk out the front door and you are in town, steps from shops and restaurants, and only a few blocks from the Malecón. This was our second visit in two years and will be back next year, which is a huge compliment because we never return to the same resort, typically looking for a different experience. The rooms, facility, pools, location are all excellent. The breakfast and lunch restaurant is open air, right on the water, and the variety of food is top notch. The service everywhere in the resort is fabulous.
