We spent time with my kids, their spouses and grandkids for multiple birthdays! Want to give kudos to the cooking and cleaning staff that made our stay very pleasant! The beach access and the private infinity and shared big pool were absolutely fantastic for kids aged 12,9, 4 and 1 Great fun with enough privacy with the number of bedrooms and common spaces

An excellent place for a family vacation. The common areas are very suitable for spending time together, the service staff is very attentive, the food is very tasty, there is good security, a place I would definitely come back to.

Juan’s place is absolutely beautiful—comfortable, clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The beach views are stunning, and the multiple outdoor areas and pools make it a perfect spot to relax. Ana’s cooking was delicious, and Mari was attentive and helpful throughout our stay, making the experience feel special. Unfortunately, our experience with the grocery service was disappointing. As first-time visitors, we found there was little transparency in ordering, and we ended up paying about three times more than expected, even including the 15% service fee. The chef mentioned the service often purchases far more than needed, which we experienced—we couldn’t consume everything in five days despite trying to avoid waste. While we paid the full amount, it left us feeling overcharged, especially given typical grocery prices in Mexico and the U.S. Aside from this issue, our stay was wonderful, and we hope this gets improved for future guests. Thank you, Juan.

The condo is really nice, the beach is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. You pick your breakfast and lunch menu in advance so they can shop for groceries. Ana, the chef, prepared a delicious breakfast and lunch everyday for our stay. Brisa, the concierge arranged transportation for multiple pick ups and was super helpful with organizing massages at the condo. Staff tip and groceries are extra. The W hotel is next door and the restaurants (Rubra, Spice Kitchen) and the beach cabanas there were great. The whale watching from both of the decks was so fun! Would recommend highly.

Juan's property is outstanding! He has gathered a condo staff that will make your stay hassle-free, enjoyable, relaxing and memorable. From the minute of our arrival to when we left, we were well taken care of. The property itself is amazing, lush and very private. The beach is pristine and general amenities are as described. I would recommend having Pesos in order to pay for groceries, incidentals in order to avoid credit card surcharges (which are issued by credit card companies). I would highly recommend this condo and will be back again in the future!

Juan's place is nothing short of amazing. Spacious, with outstanding ammenities and on a truly beautiful location. Brisa, our energetic and friendly concierge, was available 24/7 to attend to any issues (wifi, groceries, etc). Ana, the chef, is a gem, and Mari, the houskeeper, kept the place spotless. Plenty of room for a large group (we were nine adults and three little ones), with a lot of cozy areas to chills. The rooms are beautiful. The beach is fantastic, the ocean warm, and the pool a delight. We stayed put for 5 days, enjoying the sun and the fantastic condo. Rating A+++

This is a very unique Airbnb. Because of the daily house keeper and the chef service it has the best of both a hotel and a home. All the food from Anna was delicious and Mari kept the place spotless during our stay. Brisa, the concierge was friendly and efficient booking our return journeys from the airport as well as activities and cars for other trips. The location is beautiful and peaceful. It was a special occasion for us and it provided an excellent place for our whole family to be together. It is as photographed, very comfortable and well stocked with kitchen items etc. We did find the WiFi a bit patchy, in particular in the outside area by the pool. Also be aware that the one main level bedroom is not en-suite. As well as its own pool there are two larger pools available, one with a hot tub. Although it was over Thanksgiving nothing was crowded.

We had a wonderful stay at Juan's place in Los Veneros. The unit was exactly as pictured and the staff (from pre-arrival, to chef, to cleaning) was all incredibly helpful. We traveled with friends and so enjoyed the quiet privacy of the unit and then the multiple pool and beach offerings just steps away. Would love to return!

The place was beautiful. The pool was magnificent and the pool staff came and cleaned the pool every other day. The showers had great pressure and amazing hot water for everyone in our group even when we were all showering at the same time. Apartment is beautiful and special. The most incredible staff. Brisa was ultra responsive to our every request and need. Chef Ana cooked the most amazing meals and we are picky eaters. Mari was wonderful taking care of all of the housekeeping. She even answers the door if you want her to. This was a first class place. We had a minor repair issue which the owners had addressed immediately. The hot tubs are not in service or at least were not in service when we were there. But we would not use the hot tubs tanyway, because we don’t find hot tubs in public places as clean as they could be. Place was expensive, but it was the week of Christmas. Would definitely return knowing that we would be well taken care of in a beautiful spot.

Absolutely perfect family vacation. Condo is huge and well-appointed. Pictures do not do this place justice! The views are spectacular and even better in person! Our concierge, Brisa, was so attentive and made everything seamless. Chef Anna made the most incredible food that we found ourselves choosing to stay at the condo for all our meals instead of dining out. Our excursions assisted by Brisa were amazing. Fishing and catamaran experiences highly recommended!! And a huge thank you to our sweet house cleaner, Mari, for keeping our place spotless. (Not easy to do with a bunch of teenaged boys!!). This vacation was truly wonderful from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back!!

Really beautiful condo and setting. Furnishings, decor and art work really lovely. Meals were visually appealing, fresh, varied and delicious. Brisa, concierge, was very responsive to our requests. Chef Ana and her assistant/housekeeper, Mary, were gracious, lovely and created a very positive atmosphere. We had 5 children ages 4 and under so with host’s support the terrace screens were secured to decrease fall hazard risk. We ended up not using pool on lower level for same reason. We had 2 other pools in close proximity so this worked well. Lovely home for just over a week for our 5 adults and 5 kids. Beds were very comfortable. Beach is wonderful. Our children had a great time in the pools and at the beach. Highly recommended!

Juan's place was beautiful just like the photos!! Even more beautiful in person and the views of the ocean can not be beat. The entire staff from Brisas, Ana, Rebecca and their amazing housekeeper were all super friendly and out of this world. Everyone has a smile on their face each and every day! We had breakfast every morning and lunch a few times as well - everything was fresh and top quality - better than restaurants in some cases. We highly recommend Juan's place and it exceeded our expectations! The private pool of the condo with many pools in the Los Veneros community along with the W hotel beach bar and restaurants truly made this all such an amazing stay, along with the incredible staff that comes along with booking the condo. Would love to go back anytime!!

Everything she cooked was delicious. And Mary took great care of the home and anything our kids needed. This stretch of beach is also perfect for kids and families; soft sand, shallow surf, and a beautiful pool on top of it! Absolutely worth every penny. We'll be back!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Los Veneros. Our entire family loved the stay. Extremely peaceful and beautiful setting. Having walked the entire complex, this unit is quite possibly the best. Penthouse level makes view perfect. And it’s in the building closest to beach, which means you are truly beachfront. Pictures do not do this place justice. We will very likely be back. Brisa (concierge), Anna (chef), and Maria (housekeeper) were wonderful.

Rooms and bathrooms are huge. Highly recommended. Special mention to chef Suzy that cooked us 3 meals per day, presentation and taste above and beyond luxury hotels. We were fully pampered.

Wonderful condo. HUGE! We stayed in early June for 7 nights. We had 6 adults, and 4 little boys 4 yrs and younger. Jacky was kind and helpful. She took care of our transportation from the airport, with a stop at La Comer to buy snacks & liquor for the week. We did not rent a car. We decided with 4 little toddlers that we would just hang out at the beach & pool all week. We did need to child-proof the condo a bit. Lots of places where they could get into trouble. I must say Suzy and her son Paul, were amazing chefs. They worked so hard. As a family, we decided to have them cook our dinners every day. What a treat it was. I am so glad we did that. Authentic Mexican food every day! The dinners are extra. Breakfast & lunch come with the condo (you still pay for your food). I could eat salsa & guacamole all day long. They were very sweet to my grandsons. All the pools at Leneros are clean & beautiful. My son-in-law surfed every day. The beach was perfect.

Great Condo!! Very large indoor and outdoor space. Clean and modern. The chef Suzy was fantastic as was the made, Gris. Thanks to both of them for the great service. Venaros is a fantastic facility in Punta Mita. Great beach with surfing breaks in several spots. Nice to have the W hotel next door as there are a few excellent restaurants and a nice bar. We will come back..

We had the most amazing trip to Juan’s place. To start Juan was very accommodating when our dates changed and work to help us rebook. The house was immaculate, and better than the pictures. Jackie took care of everything, including helping us with transportation, and other requests. It was the most relaxing vacation. The beach was white sand, the waves were fun, and the pool was incredible. We had 5 couples and everyone had their own space. We loved our chef, Susanna and Paul. Her food was authentic and delicious. She went above and beyond to make enough guacamole and salsas to last us through the evening until she came again. We will definitely be back. Don’t wait to book this incredible house in Punta Mita. Absolutely worth every penny.

We enjoyed our time at Los Verenos. Jacky the concierge was very responsive to all our questions and request. The unit was clean. The views were amazing from the pool deck and the outdoor dining room patio. The sprawling beach was perfect for the kids to play in the waves, and boogie boarding. We liked the close proximity to the W hotel next door for the restaurants. The only negative was the noise from the construction of the new beach development next door, but not much that you can do about that . We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at Juan’s place. The space itself was large and generous for our three families that stayed there. The private outdoor space was very large and perfect for relaxing in privacy, including two floors of livable outdoor space and the pool (which was unexpectedly and wonderfully warm!) The condo was great, very clean and just as pictured, if not better! The beach itself is one of the best in Puerto Vallarta… soft sand and clear water, perfect for actual beach/water activities like boogie boarding and swimming. We saw multiple whales from our balcony every day! We ended up spending the majority of our time at the condo or beachfront as the location was fairly secluded. We did eat at the W hotel for dinner once which is just footsteps away and extremely convenient. Otherwise it’s worth the cook for breakfast and lunch as the options for restaurants are quite limited nearby and would require a taxi. If you’re looking for a nice beach and secluded place, this is for you!

Mario - the chef - prepared delicious ( and nutritous ) meals with fresh juices and wonderful deserts including homemade flan and sweet corn bread with compote and awesome sauces. The concierge arranged all transportation and dinners and accomodated the changing requests of 8 indecisive woman flawlessly :-) The housekeeper worked hard every day keeping the villa meticulous and even doing laundry for us. As a discerning group we all rate this villa 5 stars and the 2 floors of living and spacios patios, at least 4, were excellent retreats. A very special place and experience!

Wow. This is place is awesome. Los Veneros resort is also fantastic. We came with a group of 20 spanning 4 generations (we had two condos) and everyone loved the place. Our cook Mario was amazing and made delicious breakfasts and lunches. We also had two chefs come in a few nights and make dinner for our group which was also awesome. We had a rental car and we were glad we did. We went to sayulita twice, once to hang out and have dinner and once to hike the trails north of the town. We also did the Chicaloca catamaran cruise to Yelapa which was a blast. The W has 3 good restaurants and Punta Mita has several great options only 10 min drive down the road. Mina and Pescadora both highly recommended. The unit itself is very nice with awesome outdoor spaces. The pool private was a little chilly for the adults but the kids loved it. There are also several main pools which were warmer and had drink service. The beach is great here and sunsets are awesome. Overall we were very impressed with Los Veneros and would return.

Loved it! Beautiful condo, incredible view, easy beach access, and great staff. Nine of us stayed here for a long weekend for a wedding nearby and everything was awesome. The condo is larger than depicted and would easily have slept a few more people. The view is probably the best of any rental or hotel I’ve stayed at and we even spotted whales in the bay every morning. The property itself is very safe, behind two gates, sharing a property with the W hotel, and the common grounds are well maintained gardens. There were even safes in the closets for valuables/passports and peace of mind. Unless you rent a car, I recommend getting everything you need (cash, sunscreen, etc) before you settle in. It’s a quieter area of the beach so there aren’t ATMs or shops within walking distance and you may have trouble calling Uber. I really hope we’ll back back. Book the trip without hesitation 👍🏼

Our experience at this property far exceed our expectations! The unit was very clean, spacious and decorated so nicely. I believe it is the best unit of the whole project, it was in the best building right on the beach and being the high penthouse unit on the end it had amazing views of both the jungle and the ocean. There were numerous patios a lower one and a higher one and then side patios off of two of the bedrooms with outdoor jetted tubs, that we loved to use. We also loved using our own private pool and would often get in it at the evenings and watch the amazing sunset. The pictures really don't do this unit justice everything is so beautiful and the views of the sunrise on the side balconies and sunsets on the back patios are incredible. I would say the highlight of our whole vacation was the chef Mario, he had dinner waiting for us when we arrived - chicken and steak fajitas which were so delicious and it was SO nice after a long day of traveling to come there to that waiting for us. Breakfast and lunch were included but after that first night's dinner we decided to have Mario do all the dinners for us well. He did all the meals and they were all so delicious and he even made us a homemade cheesecake on request for Thanksgiving. He was so friendly and always smiling and the presentation and taste of the meals were outstanding, he made our whole vacation so much more enjoyable and relaxing to not have to worry about buying and preparing food, we would just come in from the beach or wherever and have a meal waiting for us. We ate all of our meals on the outdoor patio with beautiful views and a nice ocean breeze, it was amazing! Also, Adriana the housekeeper came everyday and cleaned and took care of the unit, she changed the sheets, cleaned everything and even washed our clothes that were put in the hamper. She was also so friendly and took care of all of our needs. The property and grounds were beautiful and all the service was top notch. We went to the gym on the property every day it was clean and so nice, there were employees by the beach that were so friendly and helpful, we rented boogie boards, surfer boards and paddle boards for the week, they would help us and make sure we were taken care of. The customer service was fantastic! The drive to get in to the property is beautiful and tropical, it felt very secure with two guarded gates to drive through. There was 6 of us, we came here for the week of Thanksgiving. We had an absolutely amazing vacation and would definitely come back here and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience!!

Absolutely fantastic stay. The penthouse apartment is large, bright and well appointed, with ample space to accommodate multiple families. The location is quiet, relaxed and beautiful, right on one of the best beaches in Puerto Vallarta (just a few mins walk from your door). The highlight for my family was the delicious food prepared by the private chefs, included with the nightly rate (except the cost of groceries) who were very creative and prepared two amazing meals each day. Some basic knowledge of Spanish is beneficial, but Juan can assist with any translations and guidance as needed. Wonderful stay.

Juan’s spacious villa had stunning views of both the ocean and the jungle. It was just a short walk to the beach, plus we had access to the beachside pool and hot tub that are part of the Los Veneros community. It was also convenient to be able to book spa treatments in the villa itself. Juan and his staff were quick to respond to any messages we sent him. I do believe they genuinely tried to make our experience a good one. They brought an extra toothbrush for my friend who forgot hers at home, and even helped us book transportation to the airport and to and from Sayulita. Here’s a few things to be aware of that I didn’t love: * The pool water was murky the entirety of our stay, even though they had a team come and clean it twice. The pool next door had crystal clear water and it was a little jarring to compare the two. We did not feel comfortable using it. * The hot tub is actually an outdoor jacuzzi bathtub meant for 1 person, not an actual hot tub meant for a group. * One of the showers didn’t have hot water for the first two days; it was freezing cold. * The chef services only include breakfast and lunch. Dinner is an extra charge. If your party has over 6 people, you also need to pay for a chef’s assistant. Just something to keep in mind when budgeting for costs. This was a surprise to us, as it wasn’t mentioned in the initial listing. * The chef did a great job with brunch and snacks, but there were a few dinner items that were inedible / unsafe to eat. Ex: pieces of shell in the crab cakes. We also didn’t have enough food for the vegetarians in our group because some of the items weren’t prepared as we had discussed. * Grocery shopping is a service that comes with a 20% charge. Juan was kind enough to waive this charge for us given this information wasn’t on the listing at the time we booked. Overall it was a positive experience, but for the aforementioned reasons, I might think twice about staying here again.

This place is incredible. From walking out on the balcony to see a young whale breach, to the pool and the chef this place was a hit! We are already planning our next trip back! The only thing they should work on is that the private pool was a bit too warm, but that may have been the incredible weather we had. Don’t hesitate to book know and Juan is really helpful and easy to work with. He always got back to me asap and was clear on his communication.

This was our 2nd time staying in Juan's "Pacifico" building Penthouse Unit. It was every bit as enjoyable and hospitable as the first time he hosted us. We were treated to great lunches and dinners by the chef Luis, who was able to easily accommodate our group of 8, which included some vegetarian diners, with entree options for both. He also did all the food shopping for us, for a small fee, which was incredibly convenient and allowed us to spend extra precious time together as a family instead of running errands. The house manager Ceci was able to fulfill special requests for us, including finding a crib and boogie boards for us to use. Juan himself was extremely responsive and replied almost immediately to each and every question or request. All in all, this continues to be one of the best airBnB stays that we have experienced at Puerto Vallarta (or anywhere else). Good news for those trying to stay in shape is that there is apparently a new fitness center available for condo guests which just opened the day before we left. One note about the potential for noise at the resort property - I have seen reviews about the W hotel next door being noisy, but we did not experience such a thing on either visit to the resort. However, there is a private venue down the beach (you cannot really see it from the property due to tree cover but it's visible if you walk down the beach) next to the resort and there was an event on our last night (wedding?). Since the unit is at the very end of the complex (with a gorgeous corner view), one bedroom was affected by the noise. The bass from the music was audible in that one room until about 4 am. No one in the other bedrooms noticed any noise.

Juan's place was lovely, and clean. There is plenty of outdoor seating to lounge on while you enjoy the beautiful views. We only used 4 of the 5 rooms, and all of the beds were comfortable. The condo comes with a chef for breakfast and lunch as well as a house cleaner. It is truly amazing to come in from a morning at the beach with a meal prepared for you. Our chef Luis was incredible and able to deal with our allergies and cook delicious meals. We had a small issue with the pool and Juan was able to get his staff to fix it and stayed in close contact with us the entire time to ensure we were happy. The view from the condo pool is amazing! Plus it's just a short elevator ride down to one of the pools or to the beach, where you can rent a paddle board, surf boards or boogie boards. We for sure will be back to stay again!

Juan's PH is spectacular. The photos don't do it justice. The view, the location, and the staff who are always attentive to your needs make it a great option to stay.

The place is amazing, the same or better than the photos. It's a very comfortable, spacious, very clean and functional apartment. There were 10 of us and we knew it perfectly. The best thing is the service, friendliness and delicious food cooked by Chef Iván. We didn't lack anything, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!!

Amazing spot! Pictures don't give it justice. The private Chefs, Ivan and Angel really made the space special. I recommend to have them cooke every meal, it was a million times better than the meals we had at The W Hotel.

Speaking as someone who has been to Los Veneros before, Juan's unit at Los Veneros is spectacular in every way and the chef was an essential part of that experience. We visited as an extended family of 3 siblings with our parents, spouses, and 3 young children between us and we had enough room to spread out with space to spare. The unit itself is well furnished, with all the furniture, appliances, linens, and kitchen utensils you would need or expect to feel right at home. Its location at the very top corner of one of the Los Veneros buildings offered fantasic views up and down the beach as well as up on the hills to the east. The expansive top balcony (2 main ones with smaller side balconies off bedrooms) enabled a fantastic view of the ever changing colors of the sky and sea. The pictures don't seem to show it, but there are remote controlled shades which allowed us to eat on this balcony for most of our meals, even when the sun was low enough in the sky during dinner time to be right in the line of sight. Speaking of meals, one of the best things about Juan's unit is the Chef Ivan, who prepared amazing breakfast and lunch for us, based on our requests (dinner was not included). We give him some general idea about what we'd like to each with some main ingredients (like octopus, shrimp, etc.) and he would do the rest, including purchasing all the ingredients needed. He worked very fast and always prepared enough food for the number of people eating. The meals were complete with all the side dishes (guacamole, salsa, etc.) that you would expect at a professional restaurant and tasted delicious. The Guajillo pepper sauce he made was truly excellent. He allowed us more time than we would have had otherwise to explore the beach, enjoy the pools at the house and resort, etc. and we were pleasantly surprised by how much he added to the experience. BTW, we were not surprised when we found out he is actually the chef at a restaurant in the Marina, called Mariscos 8 Tostadas. We were amazed by our last visit to Los Veneros (to a different unit) and couldn't imagine anything better, but after saying in Juan's unit, I can definitely say that it's not only possible but that his unit achieved it. A new bar has been set.

Our third time in this unit and it is great. The owner keeps it fresh with updates. The service was exceptional - chef, concierge, cleaning. Pacifico is the best building in Veneros because the views are great and you have access to the pool right on the beach. We also had a few meals at the W Hotel (and went to the W Spa) which were great. Overall a fantastic experience.

The place is amazing and everyone's service is unbeatable, from the response time for the organization and logistics to the chef and housekeeper, I highly recommend it. Spectacular view of the sea, super good cleanliness and very nice house decoration. The spacious rooms and closet too. Loved it, would come back 100 times!

Juan and the staff were responsive, accommodating, and helpful! The room itself is fantastic and the views are unbeatable. The place is spacious and easily accommodated our party of 8. Easy access to the beach and the W Hotel next door made the stay perfect. In-room chef and access to facility managers and cleaning staff was great; They arranged for our meals, grocery shopped, and cleaned at our request. Just note that this property is inside a gated community so access to shops or stores will require a cab ride.

Juan and the staff at the house are amazing. They really made everything so special. We were all so happy with our stay and with the house, it is so beautiful and everything we could have asked for. The home was lovely and we hope to be back in the future.

This Unit located in the Pacifico Building of Los Veneros is OUTSTANDING. The unit had 5 great bedrooms all decorated beautifully and the beds were so comfortable. We have first class service with Juan coordinating our Concierge Yanet who organized our groceries and there to assist. The Chef Ivan was delightful cooking healthy meals that were delicious. We had the perfect 50th Birthday Celebration!

Juan’s place is better than the photos. It was heavenly. And Ivan, the chef, was amazing!! He was so kind and so accommodating. His fish tacos were to die for!! And the breakfasts were incredible. I have stayed in several places in Puerto Vallarta including the Four Seasons at Punta de Mita. This was better than them all!

Our stay went far beyond what we ever imagined. The place is a privileged location and it's satisfying to know that it's the best penthouse in the complex. The support staff is incredibly attentive. Juan is extremely professional and efficient in his communication. We were amazed when we arrived and that surprise factor remained throughout our stay. The sunsets for the pool are beautiful. Each room looks like a master suite (it's hard to pick one as the main one) the attention of the chef and housekeeper is first class. Just more than we could express in words. We will definitely be back.

Juan has great communication and an absolutely stunning apartment overlooking the pacific ocean. This is our second time staying at one of his properties and it always leaves me excited for when we can return.

Los Veneros is the best spot in Mexico ! Juan's apartment is beautiful with lots of light, sun, an exceptional ocean view, a private pool and long rooms with beautiful decor. Juan is very responsive when he needs it. Chef Yvan makes a very rich and very fun meal, he knows how to do everything and in very refined way. Yvan always has a smile, always concerned that all guests have a meal that they like. With the children, every day she prepares something special like dessert or another surprise of her own initiative. A week with Hurricane Willa, but Los Veneros is a paradise for us.

I had an amazing stay at Juan’s beautiful home. The photos don’t do the home justice. It’s located in a beautiful expansive and gated property that the W is also on. It has sweeping ocean views that are met with gorgeous lush green trees. I went with 3 other woman (all of our first time in Punta Mita) and we were in love. We have very high standards and felt this home exceeded them. Ps There was plenty room for more people. The house is fully staffed (chef, house cleaning, pool cleaning and house manager who come daily) Ivan the Chef was fantastic. So incredibly nice and talented. He catered to our healthy diet needs and always had a warm smile on his face. We are breakfast/lunch at home and hung out at our pool and walked down the beautiful soft sandy beach. The house is a 5 min walk to the W, which is a really cool hotel. The location is amazing and the W provided black car service for us. We also rented a car so we could do a day at four seasons and in sayulita, has gated parking garage Juan responded to all of our messages in under 5 minutes - very responsive and helpful. This will be the only place I stay in Punta Mita.
