Villa La Estancia Beach Resort & Spa Riviera Nayarit - All Inclusive

The food got the family sick

The kids place was really fun for my children

This was a very quiet and nice hotel. Food was good. My family and myself enjoyed the stay. The room we got was a family two bedroom which were separated and wished they were not.

Property was old, a lot of resting lamps and furniture. Not very clean. Bedsheets had stains. No family activities. Staff was nice but had to ask for a room service menu five different times over the course of two days before getting one. Beware they try to make you buy a timeshare there. Probably will not return

Everyone was very very nice. We were there an hour before the check in for our all inclusive stay… and we had been traveling for many hours with no food yet. My kids were starved. But the check in insisted we wait until 1pm for all inclusive wrist bands. Hilarious, and bizarre rule. But alas we finally fed our kids. Only 2 dining choices at this resort with minimal options at each. But we made it work. Staff was very very friendly and welcoming.

We stayed recently at La Estancia for 7 days , this was first time all inclusive and first time in Mexico so I really have nothing to compare against . What can I say is that resort itself is really nice looking with great architecture , no cost where spared at the time when it was build , but it being 10 years old there are some areas in our unit and around the complex that starting to show some wear and need to be addressed rather soon. Also I don’t understand how in 2024 WIFi can be so poorly designed , we had to put one network in our devices for the room and one for pool area , wifi was non existent in elevators or on the edges near the beach .Also sister resort shares all amenities with La Estancia , but there is no wifi there unless you go ask for guest password in the lobby . Restaurants are really nice , but to us it got boring after day 5 as all food started to taste very much the same . Another thing to consider is that there aren’t many things to do at the resort itself , besides swimming and walking around the beach . We took Uber couple of times to Zona romantica and walked there with lots of cool places to explore . All staff was really nice to us and service quality was top notch . As I said earlier this is first all inclusive experience so I can’t really compare to anything, my wife and child did enjoy it and next time I want to try other resorts just so we can see the difference . Overall it is solid 4 out of 5 for us

The property is nice and it was a good stay. The staff was excellent, probably the best part of the trip was their service. The food was outstanding too. I was not aware that this hotel was the sister hotel and many of the restaurants and some amenities you would have to walk to the neighboring hotel for. It wasn't far but a bit of a chore with small children. Also, the prices in their market were outrageous. I believe they were trying to charge $40-$50 for a bottle of sunscreen. I suggest you bring anything with you that is not "included" your stay or go off site to purchase things and exchange money. Other than that, it was a solid hotel, quite, safe, and close to the airport. I would go back.

My partner & I stayed at the Villa La Estancia over Memorial Day weekend & we were pleasantly surprised with our experience. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Our room and the resort were very clean. The food was good and there were lots of options to choose from. I will be recommending this resort to friends and family.

I was blown away by Villa La Estancia. I had never been to an all inclusive before, not my style. But VLE exceeded all expectations. Property is gorgeous, staff amazing and the food couldn’t have been any better. The Spa and The Kids club top notch as well. If you have kids and want a special getaway do not hesitate on this property!!! My wife correct in all aspects before I travelled here. All my concerns easily erased.

Perfect! Ideal for families with kids!
