Annual family vacation.

This property will give you the best view of Beautiful Puerto Vallarta. You can walk to all of the wonderful spots in just minuets. Isabel cleans and changes bedding daily. Leo and her son will make food so good that you will not want to eat out. I cannot say enough good things about Leo’s food. She will make anything you want but I suggest you ask for cultural food! The only con I have is about the beds. They are very stiff making it hard to recharge after miles of walking in the city.

Disappointed

Pool was ice cold and hard to even get in. Kitchen facilities are in major need of upgrading and furniture is in desperate need of repairs. Bedding was ok at best. Cooking and cleaning staff was wonderful and made us feel at home. All meals were excellent. Main locking doors are a pain to use with 3 locks to open to get in or out of the villa.

Character-filled villa with unbeatable views of PV.

Incredible stay for a group of 9 people at Mar Y Cielo. The property is sprawling, open and expansive. It is full of character and Mexican flare and there's plenty of space for large groups. The views from the main floor, pool deck and upstairs bedroom are incredible (photos do not do it justice) . We had 3 meals prepared by the chefs and all were delicious and fresh. There are some improvements to the property that would make for an even better stay: (1) update to the electrical and lighting - some rooms and areas are quite dark as some lights are broken; better use of the lobby area - perhaps as a small gym room; upgrades to the hot water system - showers often ran cold; more house keys or a keyless entry system - sharing a single key between a big group was challenging to manage. All in all though, a brilliant location and highly recommended.

Stunning

Although the photos of the property are accurate, they really don't capture the feeling you get when you walk in. The house is spectacular. Each room is unique with its own character and charm. The open-air living area was incredible. Eduardo and Alejandra made us the yummiest meals and were both so sweet and fun to talk to. Eduardo was helpful with local recommendations for us first-timers. Isabel was incredible. Swept and mopped each day. She kept the house spotless! We weren't sure how we'd feel about having "staff", but I'm sold! Sign me up! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful view

The layout of the main floor was great as was the view. The pool was great. The furniture by the main fireplace smelled of cat urine. There was bird and rodent feces on top of oven structure in the kitchen (was a lot of poop). I was told there were ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms, most had no ceiling fans at all. The housekeeper did an excellent job cleaning. Overall the home was very dated and we expectef more considering how much we paid.

Abby's 30th Birthday Celebration

We loved the property. The stairs are a challenge, if you are not used to stairs - but you're going to have a difficult time navigating the city, if you can't handle the stairs in this place! The cook and housekeeper were great! The house was cleaned every day, and the cook goes out of his way to make sure that you are getting the traditional foods that everyone should have while in Mexico! The one improvement that could be made is the hot water for the shower at the top of the house. The person that stayed up there did not have hot water for the whole trip, but they improvised and were okay with that as a trade off from the beauty of the surroundings.

Absolutely Stunning

Our stay was incredible. The pictures truly do not do this space justice!! I mean that. I was travelling with a group of friends and the villa was perfect for our purposes. Everyone could have their own space but come together as we wanted to. The view is unparalleled. The villa has so much character and it’s just far enough out of the busy Zona Romantica to be out of the hubbub but close enough to get there by foot no problem. Isabel the housekeeper was so sweet. I loved it and am thinking of a new reason to come back and visit. Some things to consider are: there are a lot of stairs and it’s located on a hill. So if those factors impact you they are a defining feature of the villa. As well, the church bells are a presence so if you’re a light sleeper maybe bring some ear plugs! Otherwise I highly recommend this villa.

First and foremost I have been to PV many times and stayed in numerous rentals. This rental was by far the worst. The view was pretty much the only positive. The house was in a neglected state. To call this house a 5 bedroom is over eggagerated. Yes, there are 5 rooms with beds, but to access one of the bedrooms was interesting, you had to go through a laundry room (of which, the doorknob was broken and tied open with a piece of twine) and go up a very steep and tight spiral metal staircase. The quality of the bedding was poor, there were cigarette burns and permanent stains visible on some of the comforters. Upon arriving we also noticed the base bedroom’s door handle was broken and the door would not latch closed. There was termite damage in doors, furniture, wooden edging, and other places. Cushions were tattered/ripped. There was sharp chicken wire tied to the main view’s metal railing overlooking the ocean. The older woman who was housekeeper seemed rude and unwelcoming. I could go on. Upon entry and the finding out the state of the place, we contacted the host and expressed our findings and displeasure. He made a lot of excuses and claimed he had no idea. The bedroom door handle was ultimately fixed, but the rest of the house remained in the state it was in for the duration. We made the best of it, but it started our vacation very negatively. We felt we did not get our moneys worth. We would not recommend staying here for the cost. I wish I could attach pictures.

Cigarette burn and small permanent stains.

We were BURGLARIZED!! Pictures are deceitful!!! Don't do it!!!

The description is very misleading. The address is different from the actual address. There is no air conditioning, which is not listed in the description. The home is too accessible. Pool guy has a key, housekeeper and the cooks! Burglary was totally an inside job. The lock was still in tact. Jerry the owner was of NO help and didn't offer any assistance. He didn't respond to any communication after this happened. We were told we weren't the first. There were several negative reviews posted. However, they were deleted!

This review is a total fabrication. The guests telephoned us in the morning and said they were burglarized. They said the thief's took their passport, credit cards, and jewelry.The staff told us they didn't believe the guests were burglarized since they had their passports, cell phones, and the women had their purses. If their passport were stolen they would have to go to the American Consulate to leave the country. There was no record. with the police or the American consulate that the guests were ever there to file a report. THEY REQUESTED THEIR MONEY BACK FROM VRBO. Sincerely, Jerry Monte Jerry Monte

Family vacation place for fit people

Here’s my honest assessment. 3 families stayed together here, 11 people altogether. The villa has a fantastic million dollar view! It’s located just above Hacienda de Angel so we also got the added bonus of listening to their listen music every evening. The pool was fine. Our teenaged kids aged great fun playing in the pool. The best parts also included our housekeeper, Isabel and Eduardo and his mom Leo who cooked breakfast and dinner on occasion. Honestly, they should be charging more for their outstanding service so we tipped them well. If there’s anyone on your group with issues walking up large steep flights of stairs, this place is not for you! You gotta work a little to get this view! One person in our group slipped on one of the spiral staircases and badly bruised herself. I very much enjoyed the Mexican open air style of the villa as well. I would recommend this place and come again in an instant if the owner invested in nice bedding and refreshed sone of the furniture and kitchen wares. it’s confusing to me why some of these simple details that would really elevate the experience are so neglected.

Million dollar view

The villa is amazing... vaulted ceilings, huge spaces to roam, and great traditional Mexican architecture. This is not a 'Hilton' type accommodation... it is open air and charming and anyone who wants fancy and AC should likely look elsewhere. The outdoor pool is unheated but is the perfect temperature to cool off. Our group spent lots of time sitting around the pool relaxing! Even with hot temps, the interior spaces stayed cool with beautiful onshore breezes. Our group of 8 adults [ 28-60 ] all agreed that they would book the place again anytime! Observations: ** The villa is not suited for anyone with mobility issues. Lots [ and I mean lots ] of stairs within the home. ** Location is amazing and provides a stunning view of the entire bay. It is quite the trek up stairways/roads to walk to the house... like, a serious workout! Our group walked back and forth multiple times per day... but it was challenging. Uber can pick you up and drop you off at the door... which is highly recommended. ** The building is old and is showing the years, but the interior spaces are kept very clean.
