Perfect location. You will never meet nicer people than the staff at Villa del Sueño. I can't say enough how hospitable and genuine they are. Food might just be the best in the area...

Very clean and felt safe. The separate living space was perfect for our large multi family group with 12 kids to have their own space yet still be all together.

Beautiful room and property. Very well maintained. Strategic location only minutes from a variety of beautiful and diverse beaches. A bit of two worlds: in a neighborhood of countryside feel only minutes from ocean rustic beaches and beach resorts. Very thoughtful and comfortable set up in the room. The separate open kitchenette area allows refrigerating local ripe fresh fruits for example which is something I really appreciate. Kitchen is well equipped to cook meals.

Next best thing to being actually on the beach, our large balcony had a view to the sunset and was an escape from the thunderstorm. Nice pool, beside the supermercado, and very well equipped apartment. The staff were very friendly, helpful and communication was great.

This a very quiet lovely place to stay with beautiful gardens and trees. This resort is next to great places to eat and also an eclectic mini mall up the street. The ocean and surfing beach is very close and within walking distance. Great surf! And they have air conditioning and a shared public kitchen! Wonderful place.

Right on the beach which meant we could maximise the fact we were just there for one night. The room was lovely and the place has a really nice and safe feel about it. We loved the cats! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous! We loved having a big local breakfast with plenty of choice and coffee as well as juice was a treat!
