About this property
Sprawling 4-BR Family Villa w/ Wraparound Patio and Ocean Views at Luxury Resort
With its exclusive hillside location offering stunning views of Banderas Bay and the town of Puerto Vallarta, the Marcela Resort & Spa offers guests a truly memorable vacation experience. This quaint boutique resort gives vacationers a unique sense of privacy in this popular tourist town. Each villa has a full kitchen and its own balcony or patio with breathtaking ocean views. The resort also features a series of five cascading pools with an adjacent pool bar and an on-site restaurant, which is available for all meals and room service. Cobblestone streets adjacent to the resort lead to the wonderful beaches, restaurants, and activities that Puerto Vallarta is famous for.
Villa Vista is one of the crown jewels of Marcela with over 2,000 square feet of living space and a wraparound outdoor patio with truly spectacular views of the ocean.
This sprawling fifth-floor villa is defined by its smooth canterra stone archways, one-of-a-kind native wood furniture, evocative indigenous art, and its four distinct bedrooms capable of comfortably housing a family of eight or more.
Upon entering this paradise, you'll be greeted with a jaw-dropping, panoramic view of the impressive common areas and, beyond them, the eye-popping seascape through the accordion patio doors that can be fully opened to let in the steady tropical breeze our resort reliably enjoys nearly 365 days a year. To your immediate right, you'll spy a bevy of puzzles, toys, and books in this villa's grand wooden armoire opposite the cosiest of the bedrooms, a delightful nook with a futon and adjoining tiled shower bathroom. Continuing around the corner is the master bedroom and bath, featuring a green tile Jacuzzi soaking tub, separate tile shower, sink, and toilet.
The master bedroom's exterior doors open up to a covered patio with lounge chairs and a table, allowing you to enjoy magnificent views of the resort's resplendent terraced garden and waterfalls as well as a clear view of the ocean and the city below. Guests can also relax in the queen bedroom, alive with teal blue walls and plenty of closet storage, and the other colorful bedroom with two twin beds, also with ample closet space. Every bedroom in Villa Vista has HDTVs so you can lounge in total comfort.
Brew your morning coffee and prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the villa's impressive kitchen with marble countertops, 6-burner stove, and oven. Sit at the eight-person dining room table or at the kitchen bar counter to chat with the head chef of your family as snacks and meals are being prepared. You'll also find a blender, tea kettle, dishwasher, microwave, and all of the pots, pans, stoneware, and flatware you will need to feel right at home during your stay at the Marcela Resort & Spa. Villa Vista features individually-controlled air conditioning units throughout, ceiling fans, and colorful sconces in every room, a staple of the Marcela Resort. Providing every convenience, Villa Vista additionally offers a full-size washer and dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi.
This property also comes with a host of exceptional amenities because it resides inside the campus of the Marcela Resort & Spa.
All of our resort guests additionally get access to our five swimming pools, Jacuzzi at pool level, on-campus gourmet restaurant, room service, 5-star-resort-level beauty shop and spa, full fitness center, PGA-designed putting green, and all of our campus' gardens and waterfalls. During your stay, we're also proud to offer ATV tours (which begin and end at the resort) and an on-site concierge who can arrange excursions, sight-seeing tours, restaurant reservations, transportation, and all of your vacation needs.

We loved it.
The customer service was fantastic. The grounds and the views were beautiful. I would recommend this resort to others. We were in PV because our dad was in the ICU at Medassist. This was the perfect location and mental health break we needed. Thank you.

Stunning views! Great staff
Beautiful property. Furniture in main room was pretty dirty should be replaced. The master bathroom had a horrible odor. Any issue we had they addressed immediately. Would stay again.
