TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We stayed at the Villa Premier mid of June 2022 for 8 nights and chose the all-inclusive option. Would we come back? Yes, possibly! The main reasons for that are 1. truly adults only hotel, 2. excellent and friendly service, 3. outstanding food, 4. great location near Malecon and old Puerto Vallarta. 5. We loved the cabanas at the beach. The quality and the especially the nouvelle-cuisine inspired food was outstanding. Large plates with small servings. But because we had several courses, we never finished it all. Both restaurants were à la carte. One restaurant, La Ceiba, featured different themes which we liked a lot. The menu of the other restaurant, Corona, was fixed, more international but also excellent. The people who work there are very friendly and really take care of you. What we did not like was the following. We also were presented with the fact that there was loud plumbing work going on during the day. Loud drilling and hammering in the first days of our stay. Luckily we spent most of the time outside. Then one day, our room was filled with a strong penetrating chemical smell. Hard to breathe. Apparently from painting work next door. We had to move to another room which was quite inconvenient. The hotel actually has only 2 restaurants. Both excellent as mentioned, but only two which limits options. We were no fans of the two "pizza & pasta nights" because we have that at home plenty. You can visit the restaurants at the adjacent family-oriented hotel which also has a buffet. Disappointing was the only-one-white-wine and only-one-red-wine option. We are white wine drinkers. Complementing the exquisite dishes served to us, there was only "White Wine", literally the label on the bottle said: White Wine", a blend of something from Spain. We love to actually swim in the ocean. The beach is very stony and rocky, a pebble beach with occasional sand but when you walk into the water you can feel the stony ground which felt very uncomfortable and could hurt your feet. We strongly recommend wearing beach/swimming shoes. The ocean was at times rough, clouded from debris of plants and occasional trash like pieces of wrapping paper or plastic. We also recommend bringing earplugs. The screaming and yelling of the party people at the pool bar can get on your nerves. We can't remember the names of everyone but the ones we remember were Javier and Paul at the pool side and at the restaurants Manuel, Adan, Hugo, Marlen and Bladymir.

It was such an amazing stay. Provided all the right things with such a pretty view of the beach! Food and servers were amazing and the bar drinks were so delicious. Everyone was always so nice and I can’t wait to come again!

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Everyone is extremely friendly and want to make your stay very pleasant. Special shout-out to the dinner team - Armando, Palma, Capi Daniel, Enrique and Adan! Also to Aurelio from the pool bar and Paul.

I compare all my holidays to the venue, food, location, of Villa Premiere. We typically travel 2 xs a year to Puerto Vallarta. Adults only, this is the place. Small but meets all our needs. Location close to the Malecon but far enough away from any crowded beach scene.

As a travel agent I am picky where I personally stay and where I send my clients. This hotel is on the top of my list for Puerto Vallarta! Definitely a hidden gem and some of the best food I have had in a long time!
