Hidden gem! The staff is absolutely fantastic! I tied one on at a pool party here and had such a good time. I got a little tipsy and found myself being very well cared for by the staff and spent the night in one of their well appointed rooms. The gardens and courtyard is beautiful. And being out of the city you see the stars at night. The bar and food options are just perfect for some fun with friends and a evening of self care. Thanks you to the team at Amaria for being such gracious hosts
This place is a diamond in the rough. It was peaceful and Staff were great. Love the heated pool and the king size bed. I'd recommend it here for a mini getaway. The owner said it's available for weddings and other venues as well. For a truly Mexican experience...it's a go.
I’ve visited Amarillas Villas many times and it’s always a beautiful experience. The pool is stunning, the restaurant and bar are excellent, and the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. Trevor has created a truly special place in the mountains of Puerto Vallarta!
Look this place was awesome. We had a blast. I'm a little drunk right now so I apologize for any Grammer issues. Victor was amazing. The was on top of our drink orders and our food orders. French fries were great. The atmosphere was electric. They had a DJ so it was a good time. A little loud for my old ears but a good time. Great music. You only pay 300 pesos so roughly $16.00US for the day pass which goes toward your food and drinks. There were three of us and we had four drinks and food and our bill came out to 1200 pesos. There was about 20 of us and we had a blast. Beautiful property up in the mountains. I would bring people back for sure. Victor our waiter was my favorite.
We stopped here for lunch on our ATV jungle excursion, but we had time to jump into the pool, get tequila shots for doing the high jump and eat some lunch!! WOW is all I can say, the pictures don’t do it justice, you just have to experience it. The owner was very personable, and kind enough to give us a tour and some towels to dry off. 10/10 We did not stay here, or see the rooms, just a pit stop for lunch.
Gracias a la vida!! Great retreat in paradise 20 minutes drive from Zona Romantica. We will be back! 300 pesos minimum going towards drinks and great food. We had the luxury to a private tour of the premises from the owner! :) Great accommodations and location/location/location for rent at an impressive low price in the jungle far away from the noise of the city. On a adoré!!! on a negative note, MAKE SURE before hand - you have a ride back home, because no uber/taxi/didi will even give you a quote to come and pick you up - way up there!
About 20 minute Ride nestled in the mountains from Puerto Vallarta. Trevor and his staff are amazing host. Daniel the bartender extremely friendly and outgoing. The pool is phenomenal, water temperature was perfect. Highly recommended for a day trip or even longer
My wife and I are locals and visited today for our first time. This is a marvelous piece of property that feels like it's secluded but you get all the comfort of home with an amazing heated pool! Highly recommend for a day or a few days of R&R. The place is owned by some fabulous people. They will also provide transportation back into town. They are so hospital. The food is yummy and they make the best mango margarita I have ever had!
