The condo was spacious, with a recently updated kitchen and master bedroom, with glorious views of the sea from both the main room and master bedroom. What separated Villi Mar from other properties we have stayed at is the "expansiveness" of the grounds. The two pools (each about the size of a football field) were perfect for kids (max depth about 4 ft). The private beach area, with cabannas, was perfect for simply lounging around. The sandy beach itself was great for kids, in that you could go out hundreds of feet, and the depth was only a few feet. Amazingly, as this was the low season, we never had to share this beach area with more than a few people.
The walk to the masterfully planned town was only about 3 minutes (taking you through the beautifully manicured grounds of Villi Mar). The town itself allowed you to be self sufficient, without a car, in that it had a small grocery store (very reasonable prices), about 10 restaurants, pharmacies, and some gift shops. Restaurants specialized in Italian (with fresh pasta made daily), Seafood, Mexican, and American. Quality of the food was surprisingly high with prices about half of what I would pay in the U.S. for a comparable meal. As a bonus, there is both an Italian and French bakery in town, as well; which allowed us to have freshly made pastries each day, along with my requisite latte. Again, prices were very reasonable.
For a treat, we ate dinner a couple times at the Omni Hotel restaurant, which is adjacent to the Villi Mar grounds. Restaurant was very tastefully designed, with spectacular food, and the views of the sea were amazing.
The owners of the condo happened to be there during our visit (they were in the unit below ours) and provided us with everything we could possibly need (snorkels, fins, etc). They even provided us with (3) 5 gallon containers of drinking water, which proved more than enough for our 5 day stay. Maid service was provided once (on day 3) of our stay and was adequate.
On our last night, after eating at the Omni Hotel, we walked by the small Italian bakery and came upon some live music there. A singer, with a voice the quality of a Pavarotti, was belting out the most beautiful music (Andrew Lloyd Weber, etc . . .) I have ever experienced live. The dichotomy of seeing this world class singer, perform at this simple Italian bakery, was both profound and magical. This was the perfect ending to our magical Mexican vacation.
