Before You Book
Holiday Booking Questions
How far in advance should I book a holiday villa in Puerto Vallarta?
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's are the most requested weeks of the year in Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita, and the best villas are reserved months ahead. Thanksgiving and early-December dates offer the widest choice; Christmas week and New Year's inventory is limited and books first. If a specific villa or group size matters to you, contact us as early as possible.
What are the minimum-stay requirements over the holidays?
Thanksgiving stays are the most flexible, with several villas welcoming three- to five-night reservations. Most Christmas and New Year's villas require a seven-night minimum, and a small number ask for two weeks. Your specialist will confirm the exact minimum for each villa on your shortlist.
What is included in a fully staffed holiday villa?
Every villa is private and fully staffed — your stay includes the household staff, daily housekeeping, a private chef and kitchen team, bartenders and wait staff, and a concierge for pre-arrival planning. Groceries and provisioning are billed separately, and extras such as in-villa spa treatments, yacht charters, private excursions, childcare, and holiday décor can be arranged at additional cost. Inclusions vary by villa, so we confirm exactly what each home includes — and the cost of any extras — before you book.
Are the holiday villa rates inclusive of tax?
It varies by villa — some published rates are tax-inclusive while others add 16 or 19 percent, and minimum-night requirements differ as well. Every quote we send confirms the all-in nightly rate, applicable taxes, and minimum stay before you commit, so there are no surprises.
Is there a benefit to booking directly with Villa Experience?
Yes. Reserve your holiday villa directly with us and you will receive a complimentary one-time transfer and a loyalty gift, along with a dedicated specialist who handles your pre-arrival planning, staffing, and concierge requests from inquiry to check-out.
