4BR Villa in Rincón de Guayabitos

Andrea Lynne

Excellent, 5 months ago

Write up is very accurate. Beautiful home and the location is tranquil. We felt safe. The area was well cared for and patrolled by security. Beach was great and not busy. We boogie boarded - there were boards with the rental along with beach chairs and umbrellas. We watched the turtles released from the sanctuary several times. The kids loved the plunge pool on the patio and the community pool was large, warm and clean as well. We swam across the sanctuary and into Plantanitos for an adventure. The location is very remote and the dirt road to the villa is VERY rough, taking at least 30 minutes to travel that portion alone. This limited the number of excursions we did; but if you are happy staying at the villa primarily, this Villa Tortuga is incredible.

The place is a paradise, Adriana's service is incredible and the assistants are excellent, getting there is difficult if you don't go in a 4x4 but it's worth it once you get there

Thank you very much Hector for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay!

We were in love from the place at the Airbnb listing. The house and the beach are great. However, the last 9 km to get to the house is in extremely bad shape. We were not worn about this. The worst is the amount of black mosquitos that bites with no mercy even with repellent. My daughter got 100 bites in her legs The main AC unit was not working and that was the reason I rented the house. Got there on Saturday leaving on Tuesday and the earliest that can fix it was Monday. I was told the AC units was broken for about 15 day prior an that was not disclosed. Also, you shower with SALT water something that is not disclose either. If I knew I will have never rented the house. There was no fruit juice, amenity kits, flip flops or robes. I asked Adriana and she told me if was with booking of 7. She try to find another house for us but there was one like hers. I asked for a cancellation but because of the location we couldn’t move my 88 year old mom back in the road again. Paradise in hell.

We have stayed in a lot of houses in Mexico, but this is our favorite. The house is located directly at a beautiful, very private beach, great to surf and to see turtles. The house has beautiful details, is well equipped and very comfortable. The only disadvantage is the road to the house. You definitely should rent a SUV to get there. Everything else was just perfect and we will definitely come back.

Host Response

Thank you for your review. Definitely good advice to rent an SUV to arrive to this very secluded paradise! Come back soon!

Great place for a super relaxing vacation. I went with the family during Holy Week and unlike most beaches in the Riviera Nayarit, it was super quiet here. We practically enjoyed miles of beach to ourselves. The place is spectacular, and has all the necessary amenities to have an amazing time. The grill area was my favorite, I loved the waterfront barbecue afternoon. The sunsets on the beach are fantastic! It is highly recommended to arrive with everything you need in terms of groceries, since a trip for groceries is a minimum of 40 minutes because the journey from the road to the subdivision is 30 minutes, it is approximately 9-10 km of dirt road and you have to travel it slowly. Overall it is a beautiful place and highly recommended. I will definitely be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. To have such a secluded, pristine beach right at your doorstep is incredible. The estuary is beautiful and renting the kayaks for a day activity is definitely worth it. The location cannot be beat (assuming you are looking for a remote paradise). We swam across the estuary one afternoon and walked to Playa Platanitos for a great lunch on the beach. But other than that, hanging on the beach, at the pool, and playing games on the lawn filled our days. Adriana is incredibly responsive to all questions and was a wonderful and helpful host.

Thank you Samuel for your review. I am very glad your group enjoyed your stay so much. We strive to please our guests by providing you with an outstanding experience . We are glad we accomplished our goal. Come back anytime!

We are an expat family living in GDL and have explored many beaches along this coast. Playa las Tortugas is special. This beach house is in a great location, is spacious and well-maintained, with a beautiful outdoor kitchen area. I docked one star because communication with Adriana was unnecessarily stressful and is the reason I won't return to this house. Hosts at other houses provide instructions on how to arrive, what to expect, and available services and activities. Adriana didn't until asked and the prices she quoted for activities were double those of other houses. We were told beach bonfires were not allowed but other houses managed to have them. 4p check-in with digital lock and the property manager had to be there, but that's also the time he leaves. The cleaning lady came in at 8a the day we were leaving (11a checkout) to start cleaning, I had to ask her to come back so we could have breakfast and finish packing. Overall beautiful house but the service level can be improved.

We had an amazing stay. The home was beautiful and clean and the location was so peaceful. It felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. Mayo made sure we found our way to the house for an easy check in and Kathy prepared a couple delicious meals for us to enjoy. I wish we had stayed longer!

Host Response

Thank you Jessica for your review. I am Very happy you enjoyed your stay with us . We’d love to have you back!

Amazing experience in a magic place! Our stay in Platanitos was simply wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The space is even more cozy and beautiful than the pictures show, and is spotlessly clean. The hosts were extremely attentive and friendly, always willing to help with any questions or recommendations. They gave us great suggestions for exploring the area, which made our experience even more special. The location is perfect, we managed to appreciate some whales🐳, there is also a turtle camp next door where you can live a beautiful experience helping to release the turtles with your contributions and the beach very private, quiet enough to enjoy a relaxing rest. The house is well equipped and our stay was even more comfortable. We would definitely stay here again again for future visits. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

Host Response

Thank you Norah for your feedback. We are happy that your family enjoyed their stay with us. Come back soon!

Great place with few people on the beach. As others have recommended, you'll definitely need an SUV to get out there on the dirt road. Mayo and Kathy were great on site hosts. At low tide, walk across the river and take the stairs furthest from the ocean to check out Platanitos. Had a great meal there at King Kong. Even though the trail is somewhat overgrown, El Cora waterfall is definitely worth the drive. We were the only ones there mid week. We'll be back!

This is an incredible house in an incredible location. The home itself is comfortable and has every amenity you need. We paid extra for the meal plan and had someone in the home cooking for us for half of the day each day. She also did our laundry and cleaned. It was so luxurious. There was also someone outside the house taking care of the grounds. The location is amazing-- the ocean was warm and the waves were great for boogie boarding and surfing. We walked up and down the beach-- we were basically alone. And at night the waves glowed blue with bioluminescence! It's a truly magical place. Our only watch out is that there are NOT six beds in this house. There are three beds--you actually have to order and pay for the single that's listed in each room. We were not told this and some of our guests had to sleep on the floor for the first night. When I asked our host not to charge us for the extra beds, we got a pretty snarky response unfortunately.

Host Response

Hi Libbie, Thank you for taking the time to review our property and your experience there. I agree its a magical place. I am sorry regarding the mixup with respect to the extra single hotel beds . As you know there are two King size and one Queen size beds at the property. I’ve reviewed our ad with Airbnb. Unfortunately, Airbnb doesn’t have a format to differentiate between sleeping six and six separate beds. I am going to add clarifying language to the body of the ad. But I agree that there was room for confusion. I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I will be fully refunding the charges for the additional beds during your stay. Otherwise, thank you for the great reviews on all the other points. I am puzzled by your statement that the kids slept on the floor one night, when upon your arrival, during the Airbnb conversation to me when you requested the additional hotel beds (that were not set up because they they have to be ordered in advance), you had said that the kids were going to sleep on the two sleeper couches which are always available. Luckily all was solved . I wish all the best in your future vacations and hope to see you again.

Beautiful house directly at the beach. Far away from the next supermarket, but except for this, everything else was perfect. We will definitely return next year.

At first arrival, we felt like we arrived in paradise and wanted to extend our trip! Half way through, we decided to leave two nights early. The beach and home are stunningly beautiful. The baby turtle release was a bucket list experience. We also had lovely massages in the villa. Unfortunately, the surrounding marshlands cause severe black fly bites that itch like mad. This is even with pesticide spray. The extreme remoteness and tough road mean you are bout an hour and a half from the nearest large grocery store. The team was kind and tried to accommodate our vegetarian diets, but the meals lacked balance. We realize our diets are not the norm in the area, but since we couldn’t supplement the meals even though we tried driving to nearby stores, it felt like a food desert with no healthy options for us. We had some sewage smells at times, but all candles in the house say “do not lit.” It’s odd to have 10 candles that we could not use. The glade plugins all over the house were awful.

Adriana's place is a hidden gem. The beach is indescribably beautiful, and the house location truly could not be better. Directly oceanfront, yet with also with a great deal of privacy. The house was very well kept up, the service from the cook and gardener were A+. We had the perfect vacation here. I mean, it was perfect!

We really enjoyed staying at casa Tortugas, it is a wonderful place. The house is very comfortable and Adriana is a great host. The only observation that I would like to make is the risk of power outages during rainy season. This is the hottest season of the year and sleeping without AC or fan is quite difficult. We did not see this information in the description of the house and they took us by surprise. Despite this inconvenience I would really recommend the place.

Many thanks to Adriana. She was always very attentive and responded immediately. Ismael and Caty were very kind. I appreciate all their attentiveness. The best place I have ever stayed.

Loved it! Loved it!.... the only thing I wish I was more prepared food wise. Definitely do your grocery shopping before going. The town is so small and far with a small food selection. So if you are like us that love to eat so recommend doing grocery shopping. But the house was perfect and relaxing.

Host Response

Hi Alberto ! I am glad you enjoyed your stay ! As we suggested, we recommend the meal plan if you want to enjoy great effortless meals !

You do need to understand how remote this place is before you book. We arranged shuttle transportation from PVR(Mario), he was great. Stopped for ice and fresh fruits on the way up. We took advantage of the meal plan the whole week(Kathy), her meals were excellent. She was gracious enough to share a couple recipes that were AMAZING... Zucchini Soup, Spaghetti Verde and Shrimp Broth with Vegetables. Both Mayo and Kathy took great care of us the whole time, the house is spotless and well cared for. The house is well appointed in like new condition. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The beach was endless and water warm. Sunsets were spectacular every night. Villa Tortuga is the best house @ Playa Las Tortugas. We'll be back soon.

Host Response

Thank you Fernando for your review. O am glad your family got to enjoyed the property. Come back soon!

This lovely home is located about 3 hrs away from the Puerto Vallarta international Airport. The beach is isolated and on rare occasions others will be walking on it. It is a beautiful location to watch sea life, relax and enjoy nature. I would recommend hiring the airport transfer and pre paying the meals to avoid leaving the property once getting there. We did stop on our way to the home at a local supermarket to buy drinks & snacks.

Amazing place, if you wish, disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in a calm waters. Ideal and careful attention from the people in charge of food and cleaning. Tip: Bring insect repellent as the mosquitoes are rampant. The entrance is by dirt road so a van is recommended to enter, but nothing complex. Once there, enjoy nature and the services! Definitely a place to come back and stay longer.

Host Response

Thank you Adrian for your feedback. We love that you liked our paradise. Even when the development staff strives to control insects in the jungle, as you well comment, the repellent is an important aid especially in the full moon phase, which favors the development of insects. Fortunately, our welcome kit contains a reorient and other skincare items. We hope to see you again!

Everything it should be. The host and staff have anticipated all that you would want to make your stay fantastic. My only regret is publishing this review which just makes it harder for me to continue to secure my slice of paradise each year.

A beautiful place, with few people, the beach with calm waves suitable for small children. The house is just as you see it in the photos, beautiful, clean, with staff who support you all the time and are attentive to your needs. It has three bedrooms with a kingsize bed,two inside and one in front of the pool, you have to leave the house to enter that room. Each room has its full bathroom, has amenities (toothbrush, toothpaste, toothpaste, sandals, blocker, after tanning lotion, mosquito repellent and lotion for after you get wet, as well as a lip for hydrating the lips) It also has towels for each guest, both body, hands and face. Each room has air conditioning, the rest of the house doesn't, but if you open the multiple windows it has and turn on the fans it's enough. The house has Internet, but the signal is not very good, as on all beaches, there is no cell phone network, only on the beach, if not cloudy. The beach is a few meters from the house, it has a hammock. The pool is small and heart-shaped, more than 1.20 deep so children can enjoy it but under supervision. It also has pool and beach towels for each guest, as well as umbrellas, chairs and boards for swimming at the beach. The kitchen is very well equipped, it has various types of glasses, glasses, plates, flat, large, small, etc. of all size. It also has pots of all kinds and sizes of the Tremotina brand, quite good. It has knives for cutting, a blender, microwave oven, refrigerator, toaster, a 6-grill stove, for those who love to cook, nothing will be missing. There is also a wine list in case you want to consume some for a fee. And if there are mosquitoes or gnats, so it's important to bring anti-gnat patches or repellent. It's worth spending a few days in this beautiful place, you could relax and forget about the worries.

Host Response

Thank you very much, Mayela, for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us!

Very good location; the house has everything you need to have a great stay. It includes additional amenities such as a gas grill, beach umbrellas and chairs, as well as some pre-installed beach loungers and others in the pool area. The house's private pool is a bit small, although you have the option to use the complex's pools, which are larger. Very good cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities. Very good location, just a few steps from the beach. The mosquito problem is fairly well controlled with daily spraying in the morning and afternoon; however, you should still carry repellent. Very good stay.

Host Response

Thank you very much Jorge for your review. We strive to give our guests unforgettable experiences! Come back soon!

The house is located right in front of a quiet beach away from the hustle and bustle, excellent for spending a few quiet days. It is excellent for children as it has a gentle slope, is wide, and is very long, used almost exclusively by the neighborhood and occasionally by some local residents. There is a turtle camp next door, and it's a nice experience for the kids.

Host Response

Many thanks, Sergio, for your comments. We love for our guests to discover our paradise!

We spent six days at Adriana’s property in Platanitos Beach. After enjoying our stay, we can say that we will definitely be back. The photographs are surpassed by the wonderful location of the house on the palmar of the beautiful dark sand beach and the conditions of the house are very good. We were warmly welcomed and looked after by Chela and Mayo (they really make a difference). I second previous suggestions to bring good sunscreen to avoid—wherever possible—mosquitoes, and it’s very important that if you don’t opt for a full-board meal plan, you plan and do a very good grocery run, considering that there’s nothing nearby, at least within an hour’s drive. An excellent opportunity to unwind and enjoy El Nayarita Beach with all the amenities.

Excellent stay, to be the first time we rented a house on the beach, we could not have had it in a better way, the whole house is super clean and they take very seriously the measures to sanitize all the spaces and the rooms. Chela and Mayo, who are the people who attend in the house are super attentive and helpful. Adriana was always attentive to answering all the questions we had. The only detail, which of course, is out of the host's hands, were the mosquitoes, which even with the use of repellent and despite the fact that they fumigate twice a day, we could not get rid of the bites. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay and offered us exactly what we were looking for.

The accommodation is incredible, everything is very clean, the attention of both Adriana and Chela and Mayo unbeatable, the place is very nice super comfortable location a few steps from the beach, my family and I have a fantastic vacation, we hope to return soon.

Thank you very much, Larisa, for your feedback. We love to know that we are fulfilling our mission of exceeding our guests' expectations! Kind regards

Villa tortuga is an amazing place. You pretty much have the beach to yourself. I spent my days alternating between the pool and the beach. The lounging areas are prefect. The sunsets and the night sky were stunning. Definitely recommend the meal service as this is a remote location. Not only was the food tasty but the portions sizes were large. If traveling during the rainy season I recommend a high clearance vehicle due to the last 10 or so miles being on a dirt road with potholes and water crossings. This is the place for you if relaxation and serenity is what you’re looking for. I look forward to going back to Villa Tortuga in the near future.

Host Response

Thank you Priscilla for yuor kind words. We strive to create unforgettable experiences for out guests. We are glad to know we accomplished our goal. We hope to see you again soon!

Excellent holidays that we had as a family, the house was very clean, very comfortable rooms, the outdoor areas such as the palapa and the pool were great, excellent treatment and service of Chela and Mayo, very attentive. The sea is best without a doubt, the house is literally steps from the beach, the sea is quiet and safe for swimming. Practically every day we were lucky enough to see turtles spawning and it was an unforgettable experience for my children. The complex has two large community pools but they are practically alone, the beach is also for you alone. The house has air conditioning in its 3 bedrooms, has wifi, and there is cell signal only on the beach (15 mts from the house). Adriana, our host, is super nice, helpful, very attentive and responds very quickly to messages. We will definitely spend a few days in Villa Tortuga again

Beautiful place to isolate yourself and rest. The house is very comfortable and Chela and Ismael's support to keep it clean is excellent. Every day in the morning and at night they smoke between the houses and what there are many Jejenes (mosquitos) which can be annoying at sunrise and sunset, so carrying repellent is an important part of your luggage. The beach is a paradise and next to the villas there is a turtle sanctuary which allowed us to participate in the release of some turtles, very good experience! Prior to our trip, Adriana very kindly supported us by quickly answering all our questions. It's definitely a place we'd love to go back to very soon. 🐢

This is the ideal place to spend a vacation at this time when we want to feel safe when traveling. It's a hidden paradise where you'll find miles of pristine beach practically all to yourselves. The only day when there is a little more activity is on Sundays, which is apparently the day that the people who live nearby come to this beautiful beach. A few points to consider: 1. There are lots of mosquitoes, so I recommend bringing plenty of repellent. 2. The three bedrooms are very spacious and have air conditioning and a bathroom, but one of them is not connected to the house. You have to go out to the terrace to access it. This bedroom has a key. 3. Once the sun goes down, there is no light outside the house, so I recommend taking advantage of the day from very early on. 4. The living room, dining room and kitchen do not have air conditioning, but since the house has so many windows with mosquito nets, you can leave them open all day, which helps keep it cool. 5. It has internet, but at least on the days I was there, the power went out every day, usually at night, so when that happens, you're totally cut off because cell phones don't get a signal. Fortunately, the time it takes is very short, no more than 30 minutes. The house has electric candles and a flashlight for such cases. The house is beautiful, but what we definitely enjoyed the most was the terrace. The pool is always clean, the beds are super comfortable, there are umbrellas, two dining areas and a gas grill! It's the only house that also has three very nice beach loungers, with a large beach umbrella. Oh! It also has a very large and super comfortable hammock. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation. It's a beautiful place!

Host Response

Thank you very much, Ingrid, for your detailed review. Indeed, because we are in an ecological reserve, during the summer, especially on stormy nights, the power goes out for a few minutes until the staff activates the development's power generating plant. As for mosquitoes, their presence depends on the phases of the moon: New Moon or the closest thing to it is much better than a full moon. The development sprays twice a day year-round from Monday to Sunday, and the estuary is sprayed every 18 days for guests' comfort. If your stay is during a full moon, it is highly recommended that you wear light clothing when you go out to the gardens during the two critical times for mosquitoes: sunrise and sunset. I'm glad you enjoyed our paradise!

When we first stumbled upon this villa on Airbnb, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Adriana is the most thoughtful, gracious host. She was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. Ismael (caretaker) provided us with all the information we needed and showed us around. He was even there to help us with a little hiccup on his day off! Amazing service. Chela was INCREDIBLE and her food was beyond delicious. Overall, my family truly enjoyed our little trip and we had a great experience.

Playa las turugas is a wonderful place to rest and enjoy the beauty of the beach and the beautiful sunsets that the Mexican sea offers. Adriana, answered all our doubts and made us feel safe traveling to that beautiful place. Communication with Adriana and all her staff was excellent. Nothing was missing during our stay. The attention in the house is very thoughtful. Everything very clean and the service from the staff who work there is very efficient. They respond to any questions and are available at any time. Cook Chela, a very nice kitchen. All the dishes he offered us were cooked daily and with very fresh ingredients. We highly recommend this house and the place. Our stayed was wonderful. Adriana, made sure to answer all our questions. Chela, the cook, made fresh delicious food everyday for us. It was great! The sunsets were beautiful and the beach is very peaceful. We also went kayaking at the Estero. You can enjoy seeing many different types of birds there. We definitely recommend this place. We can't wait to be back!
