We stayed at Villa Premiere in October, 2008. We had the most amazing honeymoon! The service was impeccable. the pool bar was amazing. The food was delicious. There was a different soup to try every day, and they were all so tasty...I normallly don't even eat soup! The restaurants were wonderful. The pool was great. Even the little massage and champagne at check-in was great. Oh, and their concierge was such a huge help! We booked our scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, Rhythms of the Night Excursion, Dune Buggying, and Zip Lining all through the hotel...and got a discount for booking so many things! It saves the time and hassle of stopping with the excursion tour guides downtown. Just ignore them! :) And ignore the guides when you arrive at the airport. Just go straight outside to your taxi or shuttle. I can't wait to go back for our two-year anniversary!
Great Place and People

We had read many of the previous review for the Villa and found them a little hard to believe. After 8 great days there WE ARE BELIEVERS - Value, Comfort, Service and just plan tranquil. If the opportunity arises we will definitely return. NYC area.
Oh there was one incident - Housekeeping was a little late (2 hours) in making up the room one day.

Located within easy walking distance of the Malecon and downtown Puerto Vallarta, this lovely hotel has a beautiful open-air (two full sides) lobby that's screened from the street by clever angles and a strategically placed fountain. Once inside the lobby you are in a different world. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, greeting me by name most of the time.
Room was a nicely-decorated suite--bedroom, living room, kitchenette (fridge, sink, coffeemaker), and bath with shower/tub and a separate Jacuzzi tub. Lots of plush towels and bath products. Outdoor balcony facing the ocean and sunset.
Two pools and a very nice casual restaurant (open air, thatched roof) by the ocean where I had breakfast every day. Terrific food--three restaurants and two bars in total. A mix of Mexican food and other cuisines--both traditional Mexican and contemporary (gourmet) Mexican. Contemporary mariachi musicians in one restaurant one evening.
One hour of free Internet access (plus wifi throughout) meant I could easily stay on top of my email.
No-kids policy meant the guests were all adults but it was a great mix of ages and family groups. Parents with college-age or adult children, young, middle-aged, and older couples, gay men, etc. Not a feeling of a honeymoon resort--which was great.
Only negatives for me were that there was no really good area to sit outside in the shade after the sun rose over the building (noon-1 p.m.) and my room was cleaned REALLY late (3 p.m.) one day. Otherwise a great experience and would definitely recommend.
Absolutely loved it!!!

Everyone at Villa Premiere went out of their way to be nice, housekeeping, front desk, waiters, conceirge, etc. The hotel is in a great location.. we walked almost everywhere as it is just 10 minutes to the boardwalk where all the action is. But, not so close that we ever heard any street noise. It is on a side street off the malecon and all rooms have an ocean view. We had the honeymoon suite, which I think is the same as the premiere room, but with a large patio and a large jet tub. It was perfect. We only ate lunch there twice and it was ok. We didn't get the all-inclusive because we like to eat at different places. The pool area was quiet and relaxing. No loud music like at most other hotels and no kids. It was just what we needed. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when I go back.
Soooo Relaxing

My husband and I stayed at this resort for 5nites/6days for our anniversary. The entire week was so relaxing, they catered to our every need! Originally when arriving to the resort, we found out our room had 2 double beds, no king size beds were available for the room we had requested. After explaining to the staff that it was our anniversary, they upgraded our deluxe room to the suite. No extra charge!
All week the staff waited on us hand and foot. On our actual anniversary nite, we first took advantage of the romantic dinner for two on the beach (a must), then the staff had decorated our room with rose petals, candles around the jacuzzi tub, and more rose petals in the bathroom. They had even drawn the bath for us before our arrival. They did all this without us asking for it, no extra charges!
I would gladly go back to this resort in a second! Never crowded, always room at one of the 2 restaurants. The pool was nice, not too much, just enough for us adults. Poolside they even have carts full of magazines, books, and tanning oils for your convenience!
I highly suggest if coming to this resort to take advantage of the All-inclusive package. Well worth the money. Gourmet foods, all you can drink at the bar and free room service, what more can you want?
My husband and I fully plan to come back next year for another relaxing, stress-free week!
