6BR Villa in Manzanillo

Great home, ac isn’t the best but overall great location and view.

Excellent host, very quick responses and excellent service. Very friendly and helpful! Excellent decision and definitely highly recommended!

Our stay was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The villa was beautiful, spotless, and even better than the photos. Everything was well-maintained, comfortable, and made us feel right at home. The hospitality was exceptional, and the host was friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was the cook—the meals were incredible! We will definitely be booking the cook again every time we visit. If you’re looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and worry-free getaway, I highly recommend staying here. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable!

Acceptable house with spacious facilities, with good order and cleanliness, but it is definitely not for seniors and young children or babies because there are several floors that must be climbed up and down. Just to get to the outdoor pool, you have to go down about 4 floors. Another thing, on the floor of the living room, kitchen and dining room there was a pool (not heated) where it is very dangerous if you take minors. One night the AC in a room started to leak water and the next day when we notified them, it was fixed. Conclusion: Regular House Excellent hosts Excellent manager The cook is excellent

The house itself is beautiful and spacious, perfect for our group. We never felt crowded, and the view was absolutely stunning! However, there were a few things that could be improved. Some of the windows didn’t open fully and the door to the pool area also didn’t open all the way. Additionally, while the house is lovely, we felt it didn’t quite live up to the price, especially considering how difficult it was to walk to the beach. The area is not very walkable, so be prepared to drive for most things. Overall, a nice stay, but could use some updates for the price

This home is beautiful and the views incredible. The manager Rosa attended to all our needs going above our expectations with arranging a wonderful chef and providing quick deliveries of needed groceries and supplies. The pool area was amazing and large enough for our group to enjoy. As mentioned in other reviews, there is much stair climbing to do on a daily basis - especially to and from the pool area but there is also a wet bar and small refrigerator available at the pool to use which helped reduce the trips up and down. We would definitely return to this home again!

Great place with outstanding facilities. It was worth the trip. My only recommendation would be to fix the heater for the pool inside the house.

This is such a beautiful home with great views! There were 12 family members in our group, including teenagers and children, and we never felt crowded. The large dining area, game room, pool, and patio gave us enough room to spread out but also spend time together as a group. Juan Carlos is a great host! He was accomodating, responsive, gave clear instructions, and provided recommendations for food and activities in the area. Our family is already making plans to come back to Manzanillo and stay here again. Thank you Juan Carlos and Rosy for contributing to a great weekend in Manzanillo!

This place is better than the pictures show; particularly the pools! I took many pictures of the views and would share them gladly with Juan Carlos and future guests. We had so much time enjoying the views poolside and eating outside. Such a great way to have a calm and recharging vacation. If you have a large group, like we did, there are plenty of bathrooms (5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms. One of the 1/2 is by the pool and came in handy a lot!). Rosy, our local contact was very attentive and responsive to our requests. We had a very late request one night and she has Octavio stop by to help us out of a tight jam. Top notch attention. I myself would personally love to come back, but since my whole family likes to not repeat trips, it would be too much house for just me. If you have a large family and want to have some quality time in a relaxed setting, La Alcazaba is just what the doctor prescribed.

After traveling to so many places in the U.S and in Mexico this house will for ever have a special place in my heart and in my kids heart. We left behind lots of great memories and we absolutely loved the house. Thank you for letting us stay at this wonderful and beautiful house of yours Juan Carlos. We will be back for sure.

A great home, in a great location. The views from the pool are amazing. Best night was on New Year’s Eve due to the fireworks show. Only negative, there’s a bar/nightclub across the street. The music was loud Thursday through Sunday night. On New Year’s Eve the music went until 6am. Not an issue if you’re there to party/vacation, but 6am could be a bit much for people looking for tranquility. Not a home for people with mobility issues due to so many stairs. It was a workout…which most of us needed. There is a Kiosko and Oxxo near by to purchase items. Overall, worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Excellent place and location. Everything amazing, what you see in the photos is real and overall super good. The only detail is that if there were several leaks, since at night we had very heavy rain and water was filtered in places such as the living room, stairs and rooms (they were like 4 leaks that if they affected the stay among others perhaps). That caused us to have some falls, thankfully nothing serious, but worrying. I hope you'll be able to repair those details soon so that there are no accidents and inconveniences.

This has been our best stay to date. We had an excellent experience in this beautiful house that has a very elegant yet beachy style. Beautiful view from any point in the house, and it's only a 10-minute walk to the beach. It has everything you need to cook and have a great time. Whether on the main floor or downstairs. The two pools are dreamy, and the rooms are very clean. Most of them have their own bathroom. Perfect for 12 people. The only bad thing is that the days go by very quickly. But we would gladly love to come back.

My family and I absolutely loved this place! BEAUTIFUL views, stunning interior design & touches, and very spacious. It’s really close to a few beaches (both public and private) and easy access to the Main Street. Juan and Rosy were excellent hosts, and very quick to respond to any questions we had. If we could have, we would’ve stayed longer. I highly recommend this home to anyone considering it! It will exceed your expectations!! I hope to come back again!

The view is truly stunning!! Roci who will be greeting you and cleaning the house is welcoming and accommodating. The house needs major upgrades and repairs. The outdoor swimming pool is absolutely in despair. Many of the tiles are missing or falling off creating a dangerous condition for the swimmers. According to the host the house had been fumigated a few days prior to our arrival and we still encountered five scorpions by the pool area my kids were extremely scared and avoided the area.

The view of the house & terrace was amazing. They provided all the things we need: soap, shampoo, towels, pool towels, dishes, paper towels, etc... The host gave us an amazing service and he replied soon. We all loved and enjoyed our time in the house. Also, we were amazed that the house is like the pictures and the view of Manzanillo looks even better there than in the pics. I really recommend this house. The only thing is that the house has too many stairs (from the main room to the terrace they have 5 floors), so I don't recommend the house for elderly people.

Good place, but if it worth the price. The host was responsive at first but then after our secound day at the place he did not respond to any of my messages anymore. The bathtube at the Master Bedroom doesn't work and the pool outside was dirty. The A/C from the play room was not working as well. On Saturday night I couldn't sleep because of the LOUD music from the club close to the house. The pillows were not good and my husband's neck was hurt because of it. The place is spacious and it has a beautiful view. The kitchen has all the utensils that is necessary for cooking, but oil and pepper were not provided.

Super attentive and friendly

Beautiful house has everything you need for a great vacation! The kitchen has everything you need to cook in other houses that I almost never use the kitchen because I am not impressed with a lot of cleanliness, but in this house if I feel very comfortable, it was really clean. Everything is tastefully decorated to me personally. I loved the decoration. It makes you feel totally relaxed. Juan Carlos was always on top of all our questions. He answered him super quickly! There were a couple of details during our stay, but they were immediately. I personally like a lot of cleanliness and this property meets my requirements I feel truly at home, we will definitely return..

This place was absolutely beautiful just breathtaking views the pictures do not capture the sheer essence of this place. This place is pure beauty and peace! I was in a group of 7 people and everyone loved the place and there’s Breathtaking views from every room all of us just loved Rosa she is the housekeeper and she keeps things spotless she is sweet and kind and helpful we also used there chef the food was just delicious this place is literally a jewel it’s nestled in close to food like the blueberry cafe great breakfast lunch or brunch place.this was one of many places we ate close to the house, the beach is also very close I would give this place a 10 but I’m going to give a strong 9 because the ants are a bit off a Nuisance.
