we hosted our wedding here with family, all staying at the villa. From the moment we touched down at PV Gabby and Rosa were checking in on our flight time, we arranged private transport from the airport to the villa. We were greeted by the staff; Jose - estate manager was amazing and Eddy, bar tender was ready with fresh cocktails and fresh snacks. The rooms were clean and well appointed, the food was amazing, Martin, head chef created a restaurant level experience every meal - we picked items from there recommended menu for breakfast, lunch and dinners and had them prepare some of the fish we spearfished into fresh sushi rolls. The staff was always available but you also felt like you had the place to yourself. On our wedding day, they helped with set up; moving furniture, managing vendors, and taking care of last minute items for us. It felt like a tight family there; Meno, Freddy, Manny, Arturo were all on a first name basis with my family by the end of the trip, it was a truly memorable experience

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The villa is a stunning oasis tucked away at the end of the beach and offers sweeping views of the ocean and comfortable spacious rooms. The main hotel is an inviting central location for meals, drinks, and chilling. To top it off there are five pools if you're renting the entire place but the main pool seems to be where all the action is at. The house managers and staff are incredible including Freddy, Lalo, Arturo, Tony, Meño, Jose, Manny, Eddy, and Christian. The chefs include Franko (Head Chef), Nestor, and Wilber - get ready to taste some delicious food! And to the hard-working housekeeping staff Maribel, Hilda, Magaly, Maria Elena for keeping the entire grounds spotless. John, the general manager, was easy to work with, communicative, and accommodating to all our needs. Cannot recommend Villa Verano enough!

We were lucky enough to stay in the Beach House, a large two story private villa with its own kitchen, infinity pool, laundry, office, living room, and sleeping areas - I could live here for a very long time.. From the tasteful artwork to the comfy bed, filtered water, local soaps, and super clean rooms - we had a delightful stay.
The service from the team at Villa Verano is amazing, Jose and his team Arturo, Manny, Freddy, Meno, Tony, did an amazing job of keeping up with our large group poolside during the days (complete with pool volleyball if you wish) and during our plated dinners in the evening. At the beach Lalo and his team made sure we were well cared for with food and drink beach side complete with loungers, umbrellas and tables. I especially liked having someone dedicated to watching our things on the beach so we could relax while playing in the ocean. While just a 5 minute walk away is the busier portion of the beach, at Villa Verano you are tucked into a nice secluded area with a mix of trees for shade and plenty of sun. The usual set of beach vendors is readily available.
During the days while relaxing, the lovely housecleaning staff of Hilda, Maribel, Maria, and Magaly kept our rooms and common areas nice and tidy, in fact the crew is always at work keeping these jungle Villas enchanting. With such wonderful plants including forests of bamboo, massive trees, and tropical greenery or all shapes and sizes- everything seems to be trimmed to perfection. As a vertical property, it offers fantastic views from all rooms yet you are not in a high rise….you can take the paths and get your steps in as you walk to the beach or take the elevator tucked inside this amazing jungle property.
The food from chefs Franko, Wilber, and Nestor was delicious with a nice selection of kid friendly treats and wonderful plated dishes for adults. We especially liked the soups and fresh salsas and extra effort made to accommodate the vegetarians in our group.
Lastly, because the location is just outside old town and a bit secluded, Jose and Leonor were easily able to arrange our transportation needs with taxis/ busses as well as arrange for massage therapists in our Villa.
I can’t say enough good things about Villa Verano, we’ll be back!

Wow…This is the most amazing place we have ever stayed at. The Villas are wonderful, huge with amazing Ocean Views and the best staff ever. Far better than any Four Season’s we have ever stayed at. From the welcome by Leonor, Lalo and John to our Private Chef Wilver….We just could not believe the privacy, yet the staff appeared before you could ask. The ladies from housekeeping were like ghosts, we would never see them yet if we stepped out, the Villa was cleaned and even our Laundry was done upon our return. Friends recommended we stay here and we are going to bring them a very expensive bottle of Tequila. Verano is so private yet you are a five-minute beach walk into town and Puerto Vallarta is just amazing, great restaurants, clubs and wonderful people. This is our 2nd visit and we will definitely be back…Thank you for the great stay, Verano team.

We recently stayed at the Villa Verano with 7 other families….15 kids (18mo - 10 yrs) and 40 people total. This place felt like home immediately. Despite having so many people the rooms/villas are arranged in away that you can easily escape other people and feel secluded. The main pool and bar were the site of many margaritas-fueled pool volleyball games, the individual Villa pools all had amazing views and were totally private, and lastly ocean was great place to teach some of the older kids how to boogie board. In terms of staff they were incredible. Manny, Freddy, and Arturo were fun, charasmatic and fantastic with the kids. They always were ready to serve your needs. Jose was the head of house and he was so helpful…you need transportation or a reservation somewhere or have ANY other request, he is your guy. He even personally went to go pick up my wife’s cell phone that had been left behind just to make sure we knew it would get back safely. Lastly, and this might only ring true with some of you, but the laundry service is INCLUDED. That means you come with fresh, folded laundry! Most nice places we have stayed charge a lot more for laundry services. We are a family of 4 and it took 15 minutes to unpack our bags versus 3-4 hours of laundry otherwise. All in all this place was amazing and I highly recommend checking it out.

This was my second visit to Villa Verano and I can't imagine staying anywhere else in PV for as long as I can handle some stairs. The staff is excellent; our Housemen Lalo and Tony made us feel welcome and at home; They care greatly about the property and giving excellent service to guests. The 3 bedroom suite (basically a townhouse built against the side of the cliff with the living room and deck on top where you first enter) is spacious and beautifully laid out with amazing views through the jungle right to the ocean at your feet. It was cleaned daily and was immaculate. Our chef Wil prepared excellent breakfasts with different items each of our five days. It wasn't a problem for us that the elevator was out of service (we rarely needed the front entrance and instead entered and exited via the beach) but other travellers may want to check on its status if they don't want any stairs. Overall an amazing time.

Our stay at Villa Alegre was fabulous! We stayed at many resorts and rentals in Mexico and all over the world and this house was as good as any top price accommodations. The location and its proximity to the beach and the main Malecon is great because it is walkable but not in the middle of all the crowds. It is the wonderful staff and service level that differentiate this place from others. We did not expect this level of service when coming. Lalo was our main houseman and he was always available with a smile. He made us wonderful drinks and made sure our fridge was stocked with all the favorite snacks and drinks. The maids picked up our laundry every day and returned it within couple of hours clean beautifully folded. We utilized in house chef for two of the dinners and they were delicious. Next time we would eat all our meals at the villa. All breakfasts were delicious as well. We always felt like we were the most important guests in the resort.

We booked every available room for a group vacation for 25 (!) this past Feb/March 2022. Our first stay at Villa Verano was in 2019 and we couldn't wait to return. The property and service was just as good or better than the first time! Booking staff, Arturo, Leonor, and John were extremely helpful with such a large group. From Airport transports to day trips to PCR testing, everything was arranged for us. We had breakfast everyday, and 4 on-site dinners. Chef Franco created amazing and unique experiences each time... You try to satisfy 25 different people! The pool is huge and well maintained with tons of chairs, lounges, 2 large cabanas, endless towels, and a well staffed bar. Super friendly and reliable Staff: Manager Jose, Manny, Arturo, Eddy, Tony, and Feddy... they pamper you beyond expectation. The grounds gardens are constantly groomed and are really lush and beautiful. The ever present but almost never seen housekeeping staff really top off the luxury feel of this estate. Most rooms have an open-air feel while still remaining very private. With access to a private beach, direct access to the public beach and the Zone Romantica neighborhood you can't find a better location.

It's one thing to be pampered, another to be in paradise, but to be pampered in paradise is what we experienced at breathtakingly beautiful Villa Verano. We were given a genuinely warm reception by John Douponce, Director of Operations, and his friendly management staff. Upon being escorted to our Villa we were immediatley overwhelmed by the lush beauty of the surroundings, in the middle of which our villa was situated.
The spectacular beauty, magnificent views, comfort and tranquility of Villa Verano is outstanding. Added to this, it is the high quality of the cheerful, experienced staff and service that is the icing on the cake that made our much needed vacation, after a difficult year, a hugely successful and memorable one.
As soon as we entered our villa, Jose, the estate manager, greeted us with a margarita to accompany us for a tour of our villa, The Beach Villa, where we found every room to be tastefully and cheerfully decorated, and kept spotlessly clean by our housekeeper, Elena, during our stay.
Our closest and daily interaction was with Jose, and what a gem of a person he is! Jose's professionalism and attention to details is unsurpassed, but we were so touched by his warmth, friendliness and his genuine enjoyment of his job. Jose pampered us with anything we needed during our stay, whether it was a small request for guacamole & chips from their kitchen, or ordering and delivering a takeout dinner or fulfilling a grocery request. All done cheerfully and with great respect to our privacy. We miss you Jose, and you are a tremendous asset to Villa Verano.
The other person we had a close and warm connection with was Wilver, one of the accomplished chefs assigned to us. We had arranged to have dinner prepared for us in our kitchen for our fist night's stay, and Wilver delighted us with a three-course, delicious and beautifully prepared Mexican meal. Additionally, Wilver prepared all of our wonderful breakfasts, whatever we wanted on any day, and delivered to us by Jose, with his usual warmth and cheer. We miss you, too, Wilver!
We must also pay our compliments to John Douponce, Director of Operations, Arturo Gonzales, Reservations Manager, and LeĂłnor Lopez, Head Concierge. They provided us seamless service from start to finish.
Thank you all for a memorable and magical vacation.

Villa Verano is not really a hotel. It’s an 11 bedroom main house with four additional smaller villas ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms. Breakfast is included and is served on the private veranda just above the beach. The chefs are happy to prepare your lunches & dinners. There is of course a charge for that and for your groceries. This is a private and very exclusive estate but the main town is a 15 minute walk down the beach or a 5 minute taxi ride. And Puerta Vallarta’s restaurants are varied and delicious!
Good morning,
Breakfast is included with your stay in our Beach Villas and is prepared in your Villa. Any other meal functions such as lunch or dinner are available at a cost. The team can easily prepare snacks. We do your shopping for you
