Villa Celeste  

In Conchas Chinas, Puerto Vallarta — a stone’s throw from the Bay of Banderas and a short drive to the Malecon and Playa de los Muertos. The beach villa sits about 3 km from the city center and offers easy access to waterfront sights and the cruise terminal.

This beach villa pairs private, air-conditioned living with outdoor space — think private pool, terrace or balcony, garden views and a patio. Rooms have flat-screen TVs and DVD players, and many suites include a kitchen with fridge, oven and stovetop. The property has a massage room and bilingual staff (English/Spanish) to keep things smooth.

Splash in the outdoor and private pools, lounge on a terrace, or fire up the barbecue and picnic areas. Families will appreciate the playroom and arcade/game room, and the villa runs concierge and tour assistance for local excursions. Free self-parking is onsite and roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge. Laundry, car rental, private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box are also offered.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and express check-in/express check-out help save time.

There’s an on-site restaurant and limited-hour room service for relaxed meals. For casual nights, use the BBQ and picnic areas to cook up something fresh after a day on the sand.
