Testimonials

Villa Magnifico lived up to it's name!  Extremely spacious, comfortable, well maintained, and has incredible views from pretty much any room in the place.  The staff was absolutely amazing.  Chicho and Rudy were highly attentive to the groups needs.  Conrad and Sandra made incredible meals.  Luz and Carolina kept the common areas and bedrooms spotless each day.  And Salvador kept the grounds and equipment in top shape.  All of the staff were extremely pleasant to interact with. Best crew ever!

Absolutely amazing! Staff was wonderful and the house was unreal.

We had a wonderful experience at Villa Mandarinas!  The staff was awesome. We had our annual family vacation there,with ages 6-80 years old and loved every bit of attention we had from Miguel and his staff!  The chef and his staff was excellent and food quality was outstanding.

Our stay at Villa Magnifico was more than anything we could have imagined.  This was our first time staying at any type of villa so we didn't really know what to expect.  We arrived and the evening waiter, Sergio, was so welcoming and his service was top notch.  Everyone in our group was comfortable with their own space.  The food was delicious!

We stayed at Villa Magnifico from October 18-21. We had a group of 20 and this 10 bedroom villa was everything we needed and more. We were welcomed by the friendly staff who were waiting to greet us with margaritas. The villa was beautiful, clean, and the perfect location for our wedding weekend! Absolutely recommend this space for any large group or event. It is up in the jungle of Mismaloya but you have everything you need from the infinity pool to the terrific staff to make breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks! Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there are additional bathrooms in the common areas of each floor, a casino style game room, we never wanted to leave this beautiful palace!

The Savvy Travelers Group can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was at Villa Magnifico. The property accommodated 19 adults and 2 kids with ease. The villa is beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable and most inviting. The pool is massive and the pool lounge area was an absolute bonus. It gave you the illusion of a 5 star hotel.
The staff at Villa Magnifico was nothing short of amazing! They made us all feel like royalty. From the amazing women who prepared breakfast, Suzanna and Bene to the awesome duo who prepared lunch and dinner, Juan and Melli. Every meal was outstanding… and we know good food!
One night I hosted a retirement celebration for my husband where 36 guests were in attendance. Juan and Melli served a couple of appetizers, a salad, steak, lobster, baked potatoes and steamed vegetables. The dinner was scrumptious. The table was set up beautifully. The service during celebration was astounding.
Next there were two phenomenal women who kept the place spotless and our personal laundry clean, Carolina and Luz. Both worked hard which made us feel pampered and that could not have been an easy feat because of the sheer numbers of us.
Then there was Salvador who kept the pool clean. He did a terrific job behind the scenes to make sure we awoke to a sparkling pool and outdoor lounge area at the start of the day.
Villa Magnifico's amazing staff included two really great guys, the housemen, Chicho and Sergio. Chicho was good. He was professional and attentive. Sergio is the gentleman we spent the most time with. He was like the icing on any cake. He attended to our every need. He arranged transportation, he served every meal with professionalism and a smile. He was easy to talk to, to laugh with and he was always in a great mood no matter how long his day was. His customer service skills took my husband's retirement celebration to the next level. We're are grateful for everything that each of them did to make our vacation spectacular!
The entire Savvy Travelers Group will remember our time at Villa Magnifico with only the fondest of memories.

Villa Mandarinas is stunning.  From the moment we stepped through the gate, we were transformed into a luxurious existence and pampered by the staff from morning to night.  The views are unbeatable, the rooms well appointed and the grounds meticulously maintained. We had a group of 20+ and the villa worked out beautifully.  We had a yoga instructor, Miguel, visit a couple of time which was wonderful under the shade of the trees.  Lety, Miggie, Reyes, Chebo, Oskar and Alejandra could not have been more hospitable throughout our stay.  Anything we needed, they made it happen.

Although I was a bit concerned about the distance of the villa from Old Town, it was an easy 15-20 minute taxi ride.  And we  were actually very close to zip-lining, so that was an added bonus.  The views looking over the bay teeming with manta ray, dolphin and other fish was a wonderful sight each day.  We enjoyed having multiple pools but ended up primarily congregating together at one pool.  The ocean was very inviting and most of us took advantage of the dock, snorkeling equipment and kayaks.

Villa Mandarinas exceeded our expectations.

Wow, it's hard to explain how wonderful our experience was. We were six families, with kids aged 12 to 18, and I think we ALL agreed it was our best vacation ever, thanks to the this home.  The house is overwhelmingly beautiful, with room to either be together, spread out, stay active, or relax. We could all do what we wanted, when we wanted. But what made it even more special was the amazing staff, led by Fili. They are there to assist you all day (and yet not intrusive at all), so don't underestimate how important it is to have folks as lovely as them helping to make your trip perfect. Which it pretty much was. The food was excellent and we loved the proximity to town so we could stay at home, or go in and out, as we pleased. Casa La Villita really afforded us the best vacation we could have imagined.

Our time at Casa La Villita was above and beyond our expectations! The house itself is stunning with plenty of well appointed rooms to spread out in. We were 14 people with 4 children under 7 and it is hard to say who enjoyed the house more. From our children swimming all day long to adult siestas and laying around one of the many balconies with stunning ocean views cocktail in hand. Fili, Victor and the rest of the staff made us all feel very welcome and the service and food was outstanding. The location and proximity to a beautiful beach area and short walk into old town meant there was never a shortage of things to do for those who wanted to venture outside of the house. The coolest thing about it is you simply didn't need to do anything but enjoy the house and amazing amenities that came with it. It will be hard to go back to a hotel or all inclusive after this experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone. We will be back!

Everyone in our group could not stop expressing how much they enjoyed the house while we were there. Miguel was very attentive and great at mixing all kinds of fun drinks for us, Chavo and the kitchen staff provided us with excellent food at every meal and Gabriella was very straight forward with the business affairs for the house. All of our expectations of the house and the whole trip were met and exceeded.

On the Agave end of things both Maria and you have been nothing but cordial, helpful and responsive and there's really little more that I could expect from facilitators of a service like this so thank you, and please extend those thanks to Maria for me as well. To be honest this house kinda saved the trip after some flubs by myself on the front end trying to organize this so it could be said that if I didn't come across Agave that this trip probably would not have been the amazing trip it became.

I am pretty confident we will be making a return to PVR in the future! After the glowing reviews we will continue to give I have a feeling the group may grow a bit next time as well.

My husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding with a five day trip to Casa La Villita with our friends and family – we could not have asked for a better venue or experience. We had a total of 20 friends occupying the villa, with family members staying at a nearby hotel. Fili, Victor, and the rest of the villa staff were helpful and friendly – they accommodated all of the unique needs that came with hosting our wedding at the villa, and the food and drinks they prepared were awesome (some of the best food we have ever eaten). Our group is already talking about a reunion trip next year – we would all love to come back.

I wanted to send a quick email to sincerely thank you for making this trip an unforgettable experience. Everything from the villa to the staff were exactly what they were looking for at Villa Magnifico. The group had nothing but rave reviews for the 2 house managers, dinner chef and housekeeping and they are a very hard group to please.
