Luis, Nico and the team at Villa Picon are exceptional and made our stay perfect. Incredible communication and willingness to work around our timing…and on top of that, the property is stunning. We could not have asked for a more beautiful stay. The plants inside the views, the cleanliness…sitting in the hot tub with the full moon reflecting on the ocean as we heard waves crashing…couldn’t have been better. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of the meals on site. We will be back to experience this beautiful place again. Thank you, again, Luis and team!

We stayed at Villa Picon for 9 nights. We were a three generation three family group of 10 people. Villa Picon was perfect for a large family group. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything worked. There is a family that lives in a separate house on the property and the family takes cares of the Villa and its guests, and does a great job. The Villa was totally cleaned every day, a first for me with a VRBO. We had the caretaker's wife shop for and cook us dinner four nights. The meals were delicious and it was a real treat not to have to shop, cook or clean up, and the cost was reasonable for what you got. The pool was lovely and the hot tub was kept hot. The one down side is something that the owners cannot control. Sargassum grass has become a very large and real problem in the Carribean area and we were not spared. Just be aware that any time after about March 1 you can encounter an outbreak of sargassum. But you always have the pool and the great activities in the area like Xcaret. I totally recommend Villa Picon for an extended family vacation.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review. I’m very glad you enjoyed the villa, the service, and the overall experience—it means a great deal to us. Sargassum is a natural and seasonal condition that can affect coastlines throughout the Caribbean. That said, we actively manage and clean the beachfront on an ongoing basis, and conditions often change quickly from day to day. Our goal is always to ensure that, regardless of natural variations, guests continue to enjoy a complete and relaxing beachfront experience—whether by the pool, in the hot tub, playing beach volleyball in our court, or in the outdoor living spaces overlooking the ocean. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back. Warm regards, Luis

We had an amazing stay at Villa Picon just after Christmas! Luis was great with communication before and during the stay. Nico and Ana are amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we needed plus kept the house in great shape - the daily housekeeping was such a nice touch, especially with a toddler and 2 kids. The kitchen is very well equipped and we really appreciated all the Tupperware for leftovers and cut fruit. As others have mentioned, the private pool and beach are amazing! The pool was a little cool for us so we mostly hung out in the hot tub which Nico did a great job keeping warm. The pictures don’t do it justice, especially the outdoor space which has a large outdoor sectional that we spent most evenings playing games. The Villa is perfect for families traveling with little kids or multiple families wanting a remote, relaxing vacation! We’ll definitely be back!

Villa Picon is an amazing place, with your own pool and hot tub, right at the ocean with a private white sand beach. Luis made sure that all the things we needed for our family were there for us, from having a crib and playpen to getting a second high chair and having toddler dishes, as well as getting some new sand toys for the little ones.we brought our family, and grandchildren, 6 adults and 3 children, and we all had the most memorable vacation. everyone said that they would like to do it again, that they would like to come back. This villa is perfect for large families with its 5 bedrooms and large common areas. The pool was 81F, an we all enjoyed it an used it everyday, the hot tub was a little tricky but Nico was always there to adjust it for us and they even installed a new heater. Sandy was looking after the house, and saw that linens and the kitchen were cleaned every day. it was a new experience for us to have house staff, but Nico and Sandy were so awesome that we felt comfortable having them there. and safer even, knowing that Nico was always there at his place. We will return.
