We knew we made a great choice as soon as we walked through the beautiful courtyard and were greeted by the sound of water cascading down into the pool, Mexican music and a staff waiting to serve us the best guacamole and Margarita's we've ever had. They even remembered to make a pitcher of "virgin" margarita's for the kids !... More

Being my first time in Puerto Vallarta, I am glad that I was able to stay in such a wonderful villa. The staff was extremely friendly and great at what they do (they are also wonderful cooks). The room was beautiful and had an amazing shower. The view was great and the beach is a short walk away. Grabbing a... More

Hacienda Elena is an amazing place to stay at, I had the opportunity to spend a few days with a friend at this place and from the moment that I put a foot in this hacienda we were amazed by the architecture and the surroundings of the place. The view of the mountains and partial view of the ocean and... More

I just returned and had a wonderful time at this hidden gem. Wonderful Authentic Mexican villa tucked away in the rainforest yet walking distance to the beach. Wonderful views, loved hearing the river right under my window each night. A great place to relax by the pool in peace before exploring old town Puerto Vallarta. Very clean with modern amenities...

This was my fourth visit to Hacienda Elena. We didn't go last year and regretted it. I was so glad to find the same professional staff there doing a fine job and the place was a beautiful as I remembered it. The staff is still courteous, friendly and most of all helpful. The location is just far enough away from... More

I got more or less randomly to Hacienda Elena and was stunned: Very charming building, excellent furnishings, great facilities, spacious rooms with luxurious bathrooms, best service, heated swimming pools, gorgeous view about the bay of Puerto Vallarta, jungle behind the house, very nice beach, absolutely quiet, amiable staff.   In one word: a Paradise! Thank you for the stay in... More

I stayed in Hacienda Elena in December. It was so beautiful! I love the heated pool that looked out at the rainforest. There is a lot of neat art and rustic furniture in the house. It takes you away to another place and time! It is walking distance to two very quiet and beautiful beaches, with a short drive down... More

This past January my family and I returned to beautiful Puerto Vallarta for our second trip. We had such a wonderful time the year before we just didn't feel like we got to do everything we wanted. We had no reservations about staying back at the Hacienda Elena again. We were not disappointed and the stay was top notch! We... More
