Villa Tita

Important Update: The pool decking (tiles) referenced in my 2016 review have been replaced with new no-slip tiles! No longer slippery when wet. I had absolutely no problem navigating the new pool deck daily, even with a cocktail in hand and a couple under the belt. ;)

I've been coming to Vallarta for about a decade and have stayed at various properties throughout the city. This is now my favorite! The house was beautiful and accommodating our party of 8 people wonderfully. The amenities are awesome, and the house staff is the best crew of people ever. So happy I found this place, and we are already planning our return visit.

I literally just got back from a week's stay at Villa Tita. We had a group of 8 staying at the property. Two highlights of the stay/property would be the staff and the pool area. The staff was tremendous. Very attentive and responsive to all of our needs. Abel helped facilitate taxis, grocery needs, and continuous drinks at the pool. Juan Luis prepared amazing, delicious meals while Ana and Javier kept the house and outdoor areas pristine and well maintained. Two meals a day are included with the rental, and the staff was extremely flexible with scheduling meals. The pool and surrounding area were a generous size and had sun exposure early in the day, compared to other properties we had considered. We spent most days by the pool but did walk down to the beach a couple of days and rented chairs ($10/day) at the Sapphire Beach Club. There are restaurants on the beach with chairs/umbrellas, and you pay for food/drink consumed, no additional rental fee. It is about a 5-10 minute walk down fairly steep road/stairs, and the downtown area is about another 5-minute walk (taxi downtown to Malecon was ~50 pesos). Plenty of restaurant options nearby. La Palapa is a good option with good food and beach ambiance. Pulpito 116 Gastro Pub had delicious pizza and appetizers as an alternative to traditional Mexican food. Garbo's piano bar had great live entertainment. The house has a few different levels with beautiful views of the ocean from each. The pool is on one level, up from there are 3 bedrooms and up a level are 2 bedrooms and living area, kitchen and dining area. There is a 6th bedroom up a level on the same level as the highway's main entrance. The bedrooms and bathrooms are more traditional and could probably use some updating, but they were spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Each bedroom was also en-suite, which was very nice and provided privacy for everyone. We only used it once, but there is a tennis court on the property for those seeking exercise! It was a lovely property that I would recommend and would certainly go back to.

The staff was cheerful and helpful. The accommodations were first class. Better than the 5-star hotel

Felt so lucky to be able to stay here. The entire staff was so helpful, considerate, friendly and ON IT - we wanted nothing - quiet and comfortable I highly recommend this.
