Villa Los Arcos was amazing. There were 10 adults and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the pool looking out onto the spectacular view of the rocks, ocean and tropical foliage. Carlos kept us well fed with great meals for breakfast and dinner. The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone enjoyed their room. Note: the rooms are built into the cliffs in four levels so there are many stairs to climb. Poncho arranged all our transportation and brought in three people to do massages for the group one day.

Our trip was a family getaway for the nine of us all over the age of 21. We had the most amazing time at this tropical paradise home overlooking the beautiful rocky shoreline in Mismaloya, Puerta Vallarta. The jungle was all around us with the beautiful bay in front. The staff was so kind and generous with their time and expertise and guided us with our choices of activities. The houseman, Pancho, was a great source of information and booked our adventures for us. Carlos, the chef, prepared delicious meals for us....the house specialty for breakfast to amazing fresh fish dinners and desserts that tempted all of us to finish to the last drop. The Villa is on the ocean but the jungle is all around us so their were bugs. I recommend lots of repellant. The walk to the sandy beach was easy and fast the the beach was delightful. The ocean directly down from the Villa is also swimmable and the water is so clear and beautiful that we saw many spotted mantra rays, dolphins and fish from the pool. Lots of wild life live right around the Villa. It was a tropical paradise. We can't wait to go back!!

The house staff are fantastic and the property manager is prompt with replies and useful information. The house is located in a beautiful spot and the food was exceptional.

The Villa at Los Arcos is a very nice six-bedroom home that is kept in very good condition and well maintained. Views of the bay are wonderful. The property has all of the amenities you can ask for and a great full-time staff. Located on the main road leading from Puerto Vallarta to Mismaloya and just a minute drive to Mismaloya beach. Quiet and tranquil with an infinity pool, sauna, business station large, full kitchen, exercise room and six in-bedroom bathrooms. An additional bathroom is located next to the front door off a den. Up to date and tastefully decorated. The full staff takes care of all your needs. Will not disappoint.

Alfonso took care of all of our needs including taking us to some amazing hikes and beaches. The food is some of the best I have had -- Thanks Carlos!

Beautiful pool - away from the crowds

Our family of 10 had a fantastic time at Los Arcos! Our stay was picture perfect! Alfonso took EXCELLENT care of us, and the food Carlos prepared was top notch!! The home is beautiful, and the view cannot be beaten…it took my breath away every day. Several highlights— *Alfonso arranging everything we needed, including Covid tests to return to the states, masseuse that came to the house, a guided hike to waterfalls, a boat rental for a day (at a much cheaper cost than advertised excursions). He also picked up hiking shoes for our son and taught a few of our boys to fish off the water access on the back of the home. *Whale watching from where we were having breakfast…eating Carlos’s delicious creations. *The sound of the waves crashing at night :) Highly recommend!

This place is amazing!! The second you walk in the front door, you immediately know that the time spent here, will be worth every penny. The pool is stunning, and the fact that the kitchen, dining, and office areas are all outside, is simply unfathomable! Especially since we were coming from cold and windy weather just a few hours before. The hospitality the Alfonso and crew provide is second to none. And the food! Where do I even begin. When you say tacos, you get tacos....and a whole lot more. You can tell that Carlos takes his job serious. The meals that he prepared for our family were one of a kind and pretty much worth the trip all by itself. Gotta love the Mexican jelly! We enjoyed everything from pizza to king crab legs to ribs to tacos to fresh fish we caught that morning with a side of fettuccine alfredo. The food never ends and we are glad it didn't. Drinks were plentiful! The rooms were all so unique. Beds so comfortable. Showers were great and the ac was cold! One thing we did have to get used to was the noise. While one would think that the waves crashing into the rocks would be pleasant, several of our guest did make mention that it was loud and it kept them awake the first night or 2. The "retreat" room also had the noise of the trucks cruising down the street at all times of the day. All in all not bad, but worth noting for light sleepers. Party hard all day and it won't be a problem!!! Alfonso could not be a better host. He knew everything about everything! He really made us feel like family. We did go fishing one morning and I would highly suggest getting ahold of Efrain down at Mismaloya Beach. Super affordable and that man knows exactly where to go to catch the big fish! I'm afraid to explain to everyone how great this place is because I fear that it will become harder to book the next time we want to visit....but do it! Just book it and I will guarantee you, you won't be disappointed.

The house is gorgeous, with amazing views of the ocean and Los Arcos. The house, itself, is very spacious such that people can get together, or have quiet, personal time. The snorkeling is beautiful with so many beautiful fish, rays, and sea turtles all just below the house. From the house, while having breakfast, we even saw whales in the distance. The staff (Alfonso, Berta, Carlos, and Jorge) is amazing. They all went out of their way for us, and made us feel at home. The house manager, Alfonso, was wonderfully caring in taking care of us, helping arrange excursions, and helping take care of our parents. The chef, Carlos, continuously amazed us all with his cooking and was extremely accommodating providing delicious options. Berta and Jorge are delightful and wonderful people with bright smiles and always working hard and looking out for us. The house is always kept very clean, coffee is made first thing every morning… We loved our stay!

Prior to booking, we read the reviews for this property and all we can say is, they are all true! The photos do not do it justice. As soon as you walk through the door, it takes your breath away. We ended up eating almost all meals at the house. Carlos has to be one of the best chefs in Mexico. Every meal was another experience. Alfonso took us on a hike to some waterfalls where we all swam and jumped off the rocks. He was there to set up anything and everything we needed, including massage therapists who were so good, we had them to the house 3 times. We were there on a family vacation, 9 of us total, and there was plenty of space for everyone. All of the rooms are their own quiet little sanctuaries. If you’re thinking about booking this place, don’t hesitate. It really is unbelievable.

We loved this property and would definitely consider going again. We were a large group and every bedroom was unique and inviting. The common rooms are open to the elements and we loved being in those spaces together. The access to the water and to the small islands off the coast were wonderful surprises and satisfied most of our needs for adventure. The staff could not have been more wonderful and accomodating.

This was such a magical and wonderful experience. From the process, communication and checking in. Walking into the home it’s so magical. The pictures online do not do this place justice. The s house Manager, Chef Carlos, server Antonio and the housekeeper were just wonderful. Whatever you can imagine, they can make it happen for you.

Villa Los Arcos was an amazing place to spend my birthday. The house is even more beautiful in person. The food was excellent and the staff very accommodating. I highly recommend staying here and would love to come back.

The villa was everything it was described as on the website. But the staff was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond and were so friendly and caring. We felt like they were family by the time we had to leave. The house man Alfonso took care of all we needed, from taxis, snorkeling and even mariachis and a fireworks show for my birthday party. Everyone in my party were super impressed with the villa and staff. We will be returning. Thank you for everything!

Our time at Villa Arcos was nothing short of amazing! The communication with owners was prompt and thorough. We loved the whole staff, the home was spacious & comfortable and the food was incredibly good. Can't say enough great things about this property and experience!!

The staff here is hands down amazing. We have decided we would love to make this an annual trip. Alfonso is so knowledgeable and helpful and was able to take care of every request possible. We ate at the house almost every meal because Carlos is the best chef ever! The view is amazing at this property. We travel frequently and all agreed this was one of the best vacations yet.

Every aspect of this trip exceeded all of our expectations! The property itself is even better in person than in the pictures, which is difficult to even imagine...but the true stars of the experience were the staff! Carlos, the chef, made it difficult to enjoy eating out at the best restaurants, because his cooking was on a whole different level. Remarkable! And, Pancho made us feel so at home and took such good care of us, none of our party of ten wanted to leave! Jorge, our guard, and Beta, our housekeeper, were just delightful! Lastly, working with the property managers was as easy and personable as could be. Truly one of the best vacation experiences that we have had!

This was our 5th time in Puerto Vallarta but I’ve never seen it as beautiful as it was through the paradise that is Villa Los Arcos ! Choosing a vacation site for 10 friends began by reading these reviews and looking at the still photos. Our expectations were high and the villa, owners and staff exceeded those expectations 10 fold. The staff, led by Pancho, Carlos, Berta, Jorge and Antonio are some of the most gracious and accommodating people I’ve ever met and truly consider them friends. The first travel day can always be a long one, and we were coming from all over the country as well. Carlos made us a meal of chicken mole and Chile relleno that blew our minds and taste buds ! We all enjoy the PV restaurants, but after Dinner #2 prepared with love by Chef Carlos we cancelled all reservations ! The man that truly pulled it all together was Pancho. He gave us fabulous suggestions on food and entertainment, took us on beautiful hikes and kayak excursions, and took care of all of our needs. Not an easy job, and he does it with a smile . Thank you my friend ! We all can’t wait to return to Paradise !

Such a magical and wonderful stay! The staff were so friendly, kind, and amazing - truly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for helping us all make such fab memories!

Where do I begin? From start to finish of booking to checking out...Brook has been amazing along with her staff. We missed our connection from DFW to PVR and called Brook to stay an extra day. Immediately she said “of course”. Once arrived at the house all three staff were amazing. Chef Carlos is awesome. Alfonzo goes out of his way to cater to us. Berta is sweet as Georgia Peach. She did all of my laundry from my missed flight! We loved every moment of it. We will highly recommend this house as it’s PERFECTLY located in front of Los Arcos (that many pay to come see) and literally in front of the home. Thank you for the best family vacation we’ve ever had....we hope to return soon!

This might be the coolest place we've ever stayed! The views are honestly reason enough to never want to leave the house, and a close second is Poncho and Carlos' 5-star service. Our group was there for 4 full days, and we managed to leave the place only twice even though our plans were to get out much more. We had so much fun at the house we literally cancelled all other plans and enjoyed this one of a kind house. If you are fortunate enough to stay here, you'll definitely want to plan everything around being at the house as much as possible. The entire booking process was fantastic and Brooke was very responsive when we were setting everything up. "Poncho", our on-site concierge, was totally awesome and had every need taken care of prior to arrival and during the stay. Carlos' cooking was incredible and we highly recommend eating at the house as much as possible. We can't wait to go back and give every aspect of our vacation a luxury 5-star rating!!!

Great stay at Villa los Arcos. Convenient to the airport (~30 min), amazing oceanfront location, all en-suite bedrooms facing the water, delicious meals and excellent service. Alfonso and the crew took great care of us. We often saw sting rays and even a whale from the house. Kayaked to los arcos from Mismaloya Beach, took a hike along the coast, went out to dinner one night, but other than that, we were more than happy to relax at the house. Most destinations like restaurants or old Vallarta require a cab or the bus, which did not bother us, since we didn’t really want to leave the house anyway. Highly recommend.

This is hands down the best vacation rental in all of Puerto Vallarta! Don't be a fool like I was and spend an entire week researching every single house on every single vacation rental site. THIS IS THE ONE! Brooke was absolutely amazing to work with via email throughout all of the initial planning stages, and Poncho the house manager was incredibly attentive and helpful in assisting us with everything from transportation, meals at the house, and excursions in Puerto Vallarta. Incredibly grateful for the experience and cannnot wait to return!

Some of my friends, family, and I stayed here for my birthday weekend. It was true perfection because every detail was accounted for. Brooke helped take care of all questions, concerns, etc. before we stayed and the house staff took over from there ensuring we were taken care of. The food, view, drinks, and on and on were all amazing. If you are looking to splurge for a trip or just like to enjoy a slice of luxury then this property is for you. Get in the pool to wash all worries away while the staff makes your drink and when your night is ended you won't regret falling asleep in the Hammock stare gazing. The owner joked that we wouldn't want to leave and we didn't. Thank you Villa Los Arcos staff for making my birthday memorable.

Villa Los Arcos is a destination to remember. We had our wedding on the bottom deck. Our ceremony held around 20 guests. The house chef prepared every meal during our stay and it was DELICIOUS! Alfanso (the houseman) was great and extremely friendly. All members of the staff were helpful and made our wedding beautiful. The villa itself is breathtaking. Every room is private and has its own bathroom. There is not one bad room in the house. You will enjoy overlooking the beautiful ocean from each and every room. I cannot say thank you enough to the house manager, Brooke. She is quick to respond to emails and acknowledges the small details. Every step in planning our stay was taken care of by her. My husband and I arrived in MX with zero stress thanks to Brooke and her planning skills. Thank you Villa Los Arcos for sweeping us off our feet!

Villa Los Arcos is a dream. As soon as you walk in the door you immediately feel relaxed and at home. It was particularly hot when we stayed there in July, and we were handed cooled towels and offered margaritas immediately upon arrival. We had looked at the photos a million times during the planning of our wedding, and amazing as they are, they can't capture the lovely atmosphere and the scope of the magnificent view. Brooke, the owner, was very responsive to all of our wedding related questions, answering promptly and providing helpful suggestions. And we cannot sing the praises of the staff at the villa enough. Chuy's cooking was delicious and was tailored to various specific dietary needs, and Alfonso helped with EVERYTHING. He served food, offered drinks, interfaced with vendors coming for the wedding, set up tables/chairs/decorations, he even offered to go get his own amplifier when we were worried we wouldn't have one (but no need, the villa has one!), and all with a friendly smile and positive attitude. Our wedding had 42 guests, which fit perfectly. And our guests are still raving about the location. It can't be topped. We would highly recommend Villa Los Arcos for a beautiful destination wedding.

Thank you to the staff of Villa Los Arcos. This was truly one of the most memorable vacations that I have shared with my family. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, balcony and is on the water! The salt water pool (yes, no chlorine) overlooks Los Arcos Preserve. The villa is located right on the water! Chewy and Alfonso are a great team and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We never felt the need to go to dinner since Chewy's cooking and the service of Alfonso was fantastic. We are already planning our next trip to Villa Los Arcos. Many thanks to the staff.

Six kids and six adults stayed in the Villa from Feb 26- March 7th. What a fantastic place, from the moment we walked in and we received a warm welcome from Alfonso, Chuey, and Raina to the last day at the Villa, it was a holiday to remember. It was everything the photos and reviews said it would be. Incredible views, excellent meals, drinks, a pool that we spent many hours in, and the magnificent sunsets from the Villa, we all enjoyed our time away from winter - albeit it has been a mild one. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our every need. Berta would come and makeup our beds, laundry was done, and the Villa was clean at all times. The meals were of local flare and the groceries were inexpensive. I was impressed with how Chuey would ask what we want for lunch (right after we finished breakfast) and she would go into town after breakfast and lunch would be served by 1:30. Then onto an incredible supper. Alfonso went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and interesting. We learned a lot about the area and he took us on many a hike to waterfalls, trails through the bush, and a very memorable hike from Boca Da Tomatlan to Los Animas. The Mismaloya area has a lot to offer. Great people, a nice beach, and awesome restaurants. We went to Tony's and Juans for meals and always enjoyed the food. We hired Charlie and his Panga for the day and were able to get in some snorkeling - although it was high surf for most of the time we were there. I highly recommend his services. Massages from Jessica and her staff on the beach in Mismaloys is something that I highly suggest you do - very relaxing. We intend on going back, great place, staff, and location!

My family and I have been very fortunate to have traveled to multiple countries throughout the world and always stay in 5 star resorts, villas or hotels. Our experience at Villa Los Arcos ranks up in the top places we've ever stayed. If there was a Michelin rating system for places in PV, Villa Los Arcos would be at the top. The staff, the views, the food, the atmosphere, the surroundings...everything was perfect. There are endless things to do there if you're athletic or just want to relax. We essentially had anything and everything at our finger tips. The mornings began with the best mango I think I've ever had which were accompanied by other amazing fresh fruit. Huevos rancheros, yes. Breakfast burritos filled with eggs and chorizo, no problemo. How about a wood burning pizza oven where you can choose to make you're own pizzas with your family and friends if you so desire? The most complicated decision was letting them know what ingredients we'd like to put on the pizzas. Fresh mango margarita's? Si amigo. How about a couples massage overlooking the water while waves crash along the rocks just below you? Once you go you'll understand what I'm talking about. I wish I could put this place in a bottle and bring it home but unfortunately I couldn't. What we can and most certainly will do is return to Villa Los Arcos so we can share this experience with other families and friends. I've already started looking at flights and dates. Muchas gracias!!!

I consider myself a well seasoned Puerto Vallarta "Private Luxury Villa Rental" aficionado having rented 8 different villas over the course of 6 years now. I've made it an annual tradition to experience a new private villa every August in PV, some years visiting more than once. Each villa has offered a different location, view, service, chef and overall vibe. I've experienced sleek and modern 12,000 sq. foot villas boasting 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms to smaller, luxuriously appointed 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom villas with incredible art collections. Each villa experience has had its pro's and con's - from wild animals foraging for food in the kitchen late at night to amazing settings but miserably disappointing chefs. I'm happy to say that Villa Los Arcos was one of the BEST experiences I've ever had in all of my PV luxury villa experiences - and I'm a HARD critic!!! First and foremost, hands down, the staff was/is AMAZING - Alfonso, Chuey and Becka! Alfonso, the house manager, kicked my friends' butts with early morning hikes through the mountains, waterfalls and natural pools - and they LOVED it! Every evening before departing he would ask "Do you want tomorrow morning's hike easy, medium or hard?" For those of us who wanted nothing to do with a morning hike whatsoever, we awoke to coffee by the pool followed by an incredible "Chuey-made" breakfast - absolutely delicious! EVERY meal that Chuey created was incredible - and that's saying A LOT!!! She is simply amazing! We wanted to rent jet-skis for an afternoon and Alfonso arranged to have 4 jet-skis DELIVERED and WAITING FOR US on the water at the dock below the house!!! We simply hopped on and took off... Incredible! The list of positives about Villa Los Arcos goes on and on... All I can say is that our experience was absolutely wonderful and I would whole-heartedly recommend it to any of my closest family and friends. It was a blissful, beautiful, relaxing, carefree, delicious, pampered, satisfying experience! Treat yourself and experience it for yourself!

Our experience could not have been improved! We took our six children and a son-in-law and had the most wonderful time. Alfonso made all of our "dreams" come true--we went snorkeling, scuba diving, night diving for lobster, surfing, beach horseback riding, zip-lining, tequila tasting, hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, rode the bus into town, visited the zoo and thoroughly enjoyed Chuey's delicious meals and being in their beautiful home. One of my favorite memories was going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks below our incredible bedroom that was built right into the rocks. I couldn't wait to open up the shutter doors in the morning to look out and watch the the sky turn every shade of blue against the backdrop of the Los Arcos rocks. Many, many thanks to the precious staff and the owners for a perfect family vacation.

This was one of the best VRBO homes we have ever rented. It had close access to great hikes, the botanical garden, the city and country. The home had purified water so it made it safe and easy just to drink right out of the tap. The staff was wonderful and very accomidating. It was great to have home made authentic organic foods each day. The infinity pool brought the ocean into our living space. We definately will go back and highly recommend this property to anyone who needs to re-charge there body and connect with nature in a relaxed and private enviroment.
