About this property

5th nite FREE Aug,Sep,Oct - Luxury Villa, Spectacular Views, Saline pool & Staff

Villa Ensueno is a private villa located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood surrounded by beautiful homes and mansions on the desirable south shore of Puerto Vallarta. The villa is positioned on a point overlooking the magnificent Banderas Bay with views of the ocean that are simply breathtaking. The views begin with the rugged Pacific coastline, then extend around the bay to take in the wide expanse of the ocean and it's spectacular sunsets. To the left of the villa is the deep green of the jungle with views of palms and Parota trees that extend high up into the mountains. The views are truly some of the finest in all of Puerto Vallarta and a highlight of our guests.

During the days, the ocean changes by the minute, a panorama of activity and sound that engages the senses. In mid-December to early April you might see a humpback whale teaching her calf to breach, and on other days schools of fish and the many fishing and pleasure craft passing by.

Enjoy the tranquility of Villa Ensueno, and yet be only an 8-minute walk to one of the finest beaches in Puerto Vallarta with it's charming open-air restaurant. Turn to the north and drive 5 minutes into the dynamic Romantic Zone with its many cafes, restaurants and shopping.

Villa Ensueno offers an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and curved archways. Most rooms in the villa open onto a patio with expansive ocean views. There are three primary bedrooms en-suite, each with a king-size bed with high-thread count cotton sheets and either hypoallergenic or down pillows, each air-conditioned. Each master suite has a private bath, tiled or stone showers and interior garden space. Hair dryers, shampoo, and body wash are also provided.

The lower terrace of Villa Ensueno is sheathed in Canterra stone and features a saline infinity pool overlooking the south-west with a lovely cabana perfect for dining, lounging or entertaining. Opposite the cabana and separated by a soothing fountain are two king-sized daybeds to take some sun or enjoy a siesta.
The position of the property ensures you will enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean all day long in a setting that ensures total privacy.

For entertainment, there is a large-screen TV, Netflix, Apple TV, and wireless Internet along with indoor and outdoor Bose speakers for music. There are plenty of games and books for added enjoyment.

Upon your arrival at Villa Ensueno you will be greeted by Ana and Raul, our long-time staff. You'll be helped with your luggage, then served complimentary margaritas, cerveza, chips, and homemade salsa and guacamole. Ana prepares the meals while Raul serves. Ana also keeps the house and bedrooms clean while Raul maintains the grounds and keeps the pool sparkling clean and delivers frosty margaritas and fresh towels to the pool. The staff prepares two meals a day with the cost of food and beverage additional. If you choose to dine in, Ana will present you with grocery receipts at the conclusion of your stay. Addiitonally, Ana does all grocery shopping and personal laundry.
Please reimburse her in cash with a suggested gratuity of an additional USD$15.00 per guest each day.

Whether you are on vacation, celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or honeymooning,
consider Villa Ensueno a tranquil home away from home. Let Villa Ensueno fulfill your tropical dreams.

Amazing girls week

We had an amazing time celebrating our beloved friend’s bachelorette party. We had 5 friends in their 30s in our group and the house was perfect. Photos don’t do it justice! Anna and Raul were awesome- amazing food and friendly service. The view is unforgettable.

Fabulous Villa Stay!

The house is beautiful and was the perfect size home for our group of 6. The two rooms on the back of the house have ocean views so the one bedroom in the front is a little less desirable as it overlooks street. That said, all have king beds with en suite bathrooms.The house was clean and lots of room to spread out both indoors and out. Ana as everyone has noted is a fabulous cook and willing to do pretty much anything you want. We hosted a fun fiesta one night complete with Mariachi band ! Ana's husband is also fantastic on the grill!! They take care of everything during your stay and are good at flying under the radar.I would say my only critique would be the slight odor coming from the drain in the tub and toilet.

Perfect 50th!

There was no better spot in the world to spend my husbands 50th birthday. The day was filled with margaritas, lounging in the pool and taking in the astonishing view. It is a spectacular place. Ana and Raul topped it off with incredible attention to detail and cooking better than any restaurant. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

A Great Family Vacation

Several of my family members vacationed with me at this villa in August 2021. Location and views were outstanding. Views are amazing and exactly like the pictures. Staff at the house were extremely accommodating and helpful. Food and service was way above expectations, we were spoiled. Vila is very relaxing and casual. Pool and deck area were a key focal point during the vacation. Overall an outstanding vacation, villa and staff were tremendous...always willing to help. Thank you for a great vacation.

Paradise

This property is absolutely gorgeous, roomy and in a great location, only a 5 minute Uber ride into town. The house sits on the side of a hill and the view is amazing down to the ocean and beach area, this is a perfect spot for a big family or 3 couples to stay at. Ana and Raul are icing on the cake. First of all, everything she makes is outstanding and will leave you wanting more. We were greeted with homemade chips, pico, guacamole and mango margaritas as we arrived. Ana's chilaquiles was something we could have eaten every morning, was so delicious. The 2 of them together are a dream team. They took care of our laundry, kept the fridge stocked with water, soda, etc and were always asking if we needed anything. This stay exceeded our expectations and we have been raving to friends since we returned. Thank you!

"A DREAM COME TRUE" PLACE!

It is hard to describe, since 1st minute of booking, the owner Jerold was promptly taking each step to expedite the entire process. The agent Laura that gives all instructions was amazing and very helpful clarifying each question we had. When we got there, we were warm welcomed by Ana and Raul! They treated us as family, cared about us and more: made us feel loved! Best food, best drinks, best care! Our rooms/bedrooms/ laundry were perfect all the time. They provide more than you expect in a 5 stars hotel. Believe me, Villa Ensueno' beauty, view and coziness will fulfill your heart and make you extend your stay! (happened to us). I am writing this review with my now fiancée, and the Villa with its amazing owner and staff made our engagement magical! it will never be forgotten. My fiancée Veronica calls Ana - Anita! She cried when we had to leave! I never experienced such a thing in just 6 days of staying! The Villa is a piece of heaven in the earth! Peaceful, gorgeous, full of joy and love! You will experience a mix of feelings that you will never expect a place's ability to make you feel! We are planning our 2025 dates to go back! Thank you Jerold, Anita and Raul! Nick & Veronica

Puerto Valatta Is Underrated

March 11, 2018 - My wife and I recently returned home after spending 30 wonderful days at this fabulous villa. We had “booked” it in early 2017, prior to all the negative US news regarding Mexico. To be honest, we both felt somewhat tepid about our choice. But now, all we do is raved about PV, especially the obliging, very polite Mexican people. My wife, a former UAL airline employee, and I, have traveled a lot over the past 50 years, vacationing in many countries. While returning home, we couldn’t decide if this was our best vacation or not. So, we agreed it’s in our top three. In order of “likes” - 1)Beautiful weather (in February). Very similar to Hawaii. PV is the same latitude as Hawaii, with low humidity, and gentle, warm, breezes. There were a few mosquitoes at night. 2)Picturesque vista views from the lanai. Jungle mountains to our left and azure Pacific to our right. We witnessed stunning sunsets every night. 3)Crashing sounds of waves. This made for pleasant sleeping at night. Although the villa is about 30 stories above the water, the mountains and cliffs funnel these pleasing sounds to the villa. 4)The villa, with cool architecture, open space and sweeping views of the outdoors. It’s tastefully appointed with an uncluttered layout. 5)Rhythms Of The Night - I’m not a lover of theater, musicals, Broadway, etc. but this was a remarkable evening with a fantastic 60 minute performance by very specialized entertainers, after a 45 minute ocean ride, and buffet dinner. Don’t miss it. It’s worth every penny. 6)Ana and Raul. Both are very nice people who genuinely want to serve you. Ana is an excellent cook and makes anything you want. You tell her what you want for the next day and she procures the items. 7)Mexican people in general. Just really nice authentic, friendly, down-to-earth, family oriented, people, who take pride in their work. 8)Personal security. Never once felt concerned or threatened. We left our outside bedroom sliding door open every night. 9)Everyday prices. The average daily wage in PV is $8.00 USD. Food and taxis are inexpensive. There are plenty of Uber drivers, who charge approximately 50% of regular taxis’. You do NOT need to rent a car. Also, the buses, although third world, are fun to ride, at 80 US cents per person. 10) Restaurants and food. Jerold (the owner) has a list of places to eat, which we endorse. 11) Conchas Chinas is a wealthy neighborhood away from hotels and downtown.

Amazing stay and experience!

I was recently in PV for my brothers wedding at a nearby resort and spent the last 4 days at Villa Ensueno. It was the perfect way to end our trip. The house and sunsets were amazing, and it was really cheap/easy to get into town using Uber. Ana and Raul were absolutely incredible. They planned a birthday fiesta for me, that my friends and family will be talking about for years to come, complete with delicious Mexican food, a piñata, mariachi band and firework display. The only negative is that several dishes have been ruined for me as nothing will ever compare to Ana’s cooking.

Wonderful views

The Pacific Ocean is wonderfully framed by the open doors to outside balcony and pool area. There is plenty of room for hanging out. It is conveniently located. There is a nice hotel up the hill to grab a drink or a bite to eat if desired. Ana is a very good cook so definitely take advantage of that! Unfortunately, the property is a bit run down and would benefit from a refresh. New cushions on the couches for example. The door that open to the balcony/patio area are showing there age and require some effort to open/close. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a nice size but also need some attention. Cleanliness could be significantly improved on the inside of the house. I know there are relatively new owners and that they have started to do some work on the property (new bedroom on the pool level is very nice) and have plans to expand the kitchen and add a couple of bedrooms. I am sure they will use that remodel time to make other updates which will make this excellent property even better.

Perfect in Every Way

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. Many reviews have already said it, but I'll say it again - the photos don't even compare to how beautiful this property is. From the moment you walk in the front door, you're not only greeted with an incredible view, but also the amazing hospitality of Anna and Raul. These two helped make the trip incredible. Raul kept the grounds clean, the pool sparkling, and the towels and fridge stocked. Anna's cooking is amazing - her chili rellenos and carne asada (grilled by Raul) was some of the best we've ever had. They took great care of us. The property is a short ride into the romantic zone (most Ubers were about $5) and about 20 minutes from Costco and La Comer. We stayed during the humid, rainy season, but the A/C kept the house nice and cold, the pool was perfect for cooling off, and the views of the afternoon thunderstorms made for incredible sunsets. We already cannot wait to come back and have recommended this house to numerous friends. Thank you so much!

Why they chose this property

Villa Ensueno is one of the original villas constructed in Conchas Chinas Colonia, a beautiful, hilly district on the stunning south side of Puerto Vallarta facing the famous Arcos Rocks, composed of meandering cobblestone streets with many beautiful mansions and villas. It is easily the finest Colonial in Puerto Vallarta with its own semi-private beach that is rated the finest or near finest in all of Puerto Vallarta. Because of its location, the villa boasts one of the finest views of the sea and the jungle without the distraction of looking out over rooftops. The experience is entirely private and feels and looks ecological…living within nature.
