Nayarit Paradise

This villa is a dream come true. We loved the clean and comfortable rooms, we swam a lot in both the lap pool and family pool, and loved the local home cooking from housekeeper Maria. And don't forget your binoculars if you’re a birder, theres dozens of specues right on the grounds, plus a beach and estuary. Really an amazing place. And great communication with the owner John.

Wonderful & Relaxing

We enjoyed everything Playa las Tortugas had to offer from the ocean to the estuary to the pools to the sunrises/sunset. What made everything so easy and special was having Maria and Mario there -- they were both so great! They attended to anything we needed in terms of transportation, planning excursions, getting snacks/groceries, getting across the estuary, and even gave us ideas of things to do with the kids we hadn't thought of ourselves. We really appreciated being able to communicated easily with John before we left. He really took the time to answer all of our questions. Everything was wonderful and relaxing.

Fabulous!

Everything about Villa Reyes was fabulous! The owner's description of the house and property were exactly as we found. Every day was swimming in the ocean, kayaking in the estuary, and relaxing on the daybed on the rooftop palapa. In addition the staff was very accommodating and helpful and you cannot beat the dinners we had cooked for us! We are going back!

Amazing Stay

Our family stayed in Villa Reyes in March 2016 and had an incredible time. The house is very well appointed and our family of five was very comfortable during the stay. We had a cook for the week and found the food to be incredible. We live in Mexico City and the cooking was some of the best Mexican food I have experienced. Playa Tortugas is a hidden gem in Nayarit and I highly recommend this property. If you are looking to get away to a secluded tropical beach that still has all the amenities of daily maid service and a private cook this is the place. We hope to be able to visit again in the future.

fabulous accommodation in a spectacular location!

My husband and I spent 10 glorious days at Villa Reyes. The house is beautiful and very well equipped, it has everything! Maria and Mario were great hosts, they procured fresh fish and jumbo shrimp for us to cook and helped us out with suggestions on where to shop...even provided hand drawn maps and directions for a few places we were trying to locate! There are a few quaint little towns near PLT that are definitely worth a visit...friendly people, good food and very authentically mexican. The beach is amazing and pretty much deserted...if you’re looking to “get away from it all” this is the place for you!

Fabulous experience

From start to finish, our trip was fabulous. We had excellent communication from John before our trip so we knew exactly what to expect and how to navigate Covid travel. Mario and Maria were so wonderful and helpful and Maria’s cooking delicious and plentiful and it was a real gift to not have to cook. The house was spacious, well appointed, nicely decorated, comfortable and very clean and we loved relaxing in it when we weren’t at the pools or the beautiful beach. This is a special place!

great stay

Our stay at this house was great. It had everything that we needed to make our meals and be very comfortable. The place was very secluded, and the beach was just a short walk away. It was nice to have the pool to ourselves. The only thing that was bad, was the road. It had just recently rained, and the road was very muddy. The listing is very accurate except for the fact that the washer and dryer listed is not actually for guest use. If you need laundry washed, the maid will wash it for you. But all in all, the place was very clean, had all the amenities listed and we would definitely stay again. We had so much fun and the scenery is amazing!!

A beautiful and peaceful oasis

We had a wonderful stay at this villa in Playa Torgugas. Maria and Mario were incredible staff and great people. The host, Ken, was extremely responsive whenever we had a question starting from the very beginning of the process up through our stay. The 2-3 hour drive from Puerto Vallarta was beautiful with mountains, ranches, farms and towns. The villa rooftop is fabulous with the day bed and sun chairs. Both pools on the premise are very nice and well kept. The beach is only steps away and was so remote and peaceful. We had a blast helping to release the baby sea turtles. Horseback riding on the beach was a fun adventure as well as deep sea fishing. The nearby town Platanitos was really fun to visit and have some fresh fish and margaritas. A big thanks to Ken and his staff for a wonderful and relaxing stay!!

Great Beach House and Excellent Staff

This was our 4th trip to Playa las Tortugas and we had the BEST family trip to date. This house is perfect for one family with the most amazing staff. Mario and Maria were not only super friendly, they accommodated our every need and Maria's food was amazing! The best yet we have had there. She would bring treats daily for the children. They had all the toys and beach chairs you need and AC in both living area and bedrooms when you needed a break from the sun. We stayed during Covid times and the owner made it risk free for us and was willing to work with us if there had to be travel changes due to Covid. Luckily we did not have to change our plans and traveled safely and felt super safe. The staff wore masks when they were in the home working. We feel refreshed and was the best decision we made in 2020 was to stay here!

Fantastic vacation

We could not have picked a more perfect spot. Villa Reyes is a dream come true. The house is lovely and very large. We had enough place for our family of five. We were there two weeks in July 2016. The ground is beautifully lanscaped, very well maintened and very safe. The two pools are amazing too. Pictures are accurate. The beach was perfect. It is secluded, clean and offer 5 miles of beautiful sand. There's no rock, also no weeds. Our 3 boys (12,12 and 14 years) loved to play and surf in the waves. Kayaking in the estuary was also great. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thanks again Miguel for your thoughtfull advises, José for providing us with any needs and dear Miriam for keeping the house and our things very cleaned and preparing our family very tasty Mexican food. We were lucky, the owner Ken was there at the same time. He was generous with his time and always answered our many questions and requests. For sure, we will repeat.

La Villa Reyes

We had a blast and cannot say enough about La Villa Reyes. The property and surroundings are beautiful and kept in immaculate condition. We immediately felt a sense of peace on our arrival and were immensely appreciative of Mario's presence to welcome us as we pulled into the driveway and for Maria's snacks after our long journey. John and Roberta were stellar hosts from the get-go, addressing all questions and/or any concerns we had before our stay and were kind enough to check in and make sure all was well during our stay. Maria is a gem and her cooking AMAZING! We were so very grateful for all her and Mario's help - exceptional! We will definitely be back. Thank you! Just to note - if you are on the sensitive side to noseeums and mosquito bites (as one of our family members was - the rest of us were fine), make sure there are sufficient insect repellant/anti-itch.

Didn’t want to leave...

This is a perfect off the beaten path property that may take a little extra time to get to, but the reward is worth it... quiet, remote, beautiful spot with all the comforts of home. The villa is clean & full of Mexican charm. We stocked up on food at the Mega store on our way there & also enjoyed some amazing home cooked meals from Maria. Mario helped arrange some fun activities (kayaks, whale watching/fishing) and the kids had fun boogie boarding the perfect sized waves at a beach all to ourselves. Wifi wasn’t the best, but that was a small price to pay for the awesome location. Would highly recommend this place (but please don’t tell too many of your friends).

Great Vacation

This is a lovely and expensive house in a community of about 6 similar houses. It is very remote--hours from a supermarket which was really refreshing, but also a challenge. The poll and the beach were often completely empty of other people. It is a beautiful place to socially distance. Mario and Maria are super helpful and will bring things from the store if needed.

A simple word: magic

We, a family of 4 , 2 parents, 2 boys aged 15 (twins), can highly recommend this wonderful place. We are Austrians, who have lived now over 23 years in Mexico and during this time, have travelled extensively not only in Mexico , but also Central and South America. As a place for beach vacation, Playa Tortugas is in our opinion unrivaled. WE fully agree with all the positive reviews of our predecessors: Beautiful surrounding in a perfect garden ( a lawn the rivals that of Wimbledon) , a beach of 5 miles almost for yourselves , a very nice house , tastefully designed and furbished, and above , practical: e.g. We have never enjoyed an outdoor shower with warm water, among other many details. Many activities: Beachfront walks and jogging, swimming in the pools, excursions, bonfire. A special experience was walking (with all precautions) literally in the ocean at night and being surrounded by bioluminescent bacteria, illuminating our bodies while moving them in the water. The service is outstanding: Maria and Mario are incredible nice and anticipate your wishes. Maria is an excellent cook, please try her seafood recipes. After spending almost 5 months in our house in Mexico City due to COVID 19, we experienced 3 wonderful weeks at this outstanding place. We lived the same precautionary measures like at home, Maria and Mario were the only contacts we had, and they always had masks on. Thank you so much Ken, Maria, and Mario for accepting us as guests. We very much look forward to returning.
