Beautiful Oceanview Villa in Punta Esmeralda Resort

It was a perfect spot for our vacation. We had friends that had condos in the same areas so we were able to meet them at the different pools and have fun. The villas was the perfect size for our needs asked was very clean. We will consider coming back again

We would like to recommend Casa Lilianna at Punta Esmeralda for anyone interested in having a relaxing and stress free vacation nestled between the two beautiful towns Bucerius and La Cruz located about 1/2 hr north of Puerto Vallarta. The home is spacious and very well appointed and comfortable with a large palapa roof above the living sections and has 3 bedrooms with ensuites. This gated community offers a great sense of security but also has a delightful restaurant at the waters edge, and a lovely white sandy beach with a walking path along side. The community has 8 swimming pools to choose from, a well equipped gym, a spa and tennis courts and offers regular yoga lessons. Filipe the house manager is excellant and is readily available for any questions or needs that you might have during your stay. Shirley Bridges the owner of Casa Lilianna will answer any questions that you might have promptly by email and cares very much that all of her guests at Punta Esmeralda will have a great vacation! We will return!

This place is beautiful - both the unit and the complex. It's isolated for sure so party goers will be disappointed. Lots of families and couples. All the staff at the beachside restaurant and around the grounds are amazing. Big kudos to Diego and Ezekel for taking care of us poolside for days on end. The kids enjoyed the pools and the parents enjoyed the poolside margaritas. There were four adults and four young kids in the unit and it was perfect. The plunge pool is fantastic to have for early morning swims or getting some shade in the afternoon. We all took cab rides to Bucerias (not our favourite) and La Cruz (the Sunday market is great!). Try Masala in La Cruz for the most spectacular food or the La Cruz Inn for great drinks with other visitors. We took a day trip to Sayulita and although the place is incredible - it was Spring Break so it was super busy and a little overwhelming (lots of people offering their goods). Shirley and Felipe were great (we had some issues with the unit that Felipe addressed quickly). Felipe's wife also cooks amazing meals. The beach is not great for swimming (rocky and tough getting in and out) but we still went out and enjoyed some ocean time. Pools are hard to beat! Thanks Shirley!

The photos don't do justice to just how pretty this property truly is. The villa itself was sparkling clean, thanks to the attentive efforts of the local rep and maintenance man Felipe, who immediately responded to our calls about a few minor issues, and the maid Jesse who kept the place spotless.

The Resort itself was wonderful - from the modern and we'll equipped gym, to the excellent restaurant down at the beach, to the choice of numerous pools and other little nooks to relax with a good book or watch the iguanas sunning themselves on the rocks.

The owner was responsive to all of our questions and offered a lot of very helpful advice about the local area.

We really cannot recommend Casa Lilliana and Punta Esmeralda highly enough - one of our most pleasant, and most relaxing, vacations ever.

Our stay at Punta Esmeralda was fabulous! The villa is comfortable and has everything you need. Loved the layout. We miss having coffee in the mornings and watching the incredible sunsets. The resort itself has so much to offer and is very well maintained. It is not often you find a resort with grounds this well kept. It is absolutely beautiful and has eight pools to choose from. We love walking the beach and you can walk for miles. The evenings we would walk around the resort and felt completely safe. Christmas and New Years the fireworks display was spectacular. The beach restaurant has great food and the servers are very friendly. Taxis were easy to catch at the front gate. We did trips to Puerto Vallarta, La Cruz and Sayulita. Every couple of days we would do a run to the Mega store which is very close and enjoyable to shop at. We love this resort and this villa! We are hoping to return for another visit soon.
