The house was gorgeous and comfortable and thoughtfully stocked, but it was the staff that made the stay beyond imagination. Karen prepared beautiful and delicious meals, Ivan made us drinks (over and over) and took care of every need and Angelita kept everything spotless and helped with cooking and serving. What an incredible treat of a lifetime!

We are incredibly grateful to hear this was the trip of a lifetime for your family and that you enjoyed the service provided by our wonderful staff! Thank you for being amazing guests and we look forward to welcoming you back next time!
This was the perfect villa for our large family. The kids loved the pool and the adults were able to relax, knowing the kids were safe in the private area. Host and staff were incredible! Every need was met and expectations far exceeded.
The was the most fabulous place to stay! Beautiful home, lovely staff who were super attentive, and only 1 block from the beach. Our group of 11 adults had the best vacation ever and we are already planning our return!

The mattresses on the two king beds need replacing, very soft.Too soft to sleep well..a few of the light bulbs need fixing or replacing, some did not turn on at all. There was hot water in most bathrooms but not all. The wifi worked for the first few days, then stopped working well.The staff was attentive most of time and the food was wonderful.
The house is so beautiful and spacious and the rooms are amazing. The staff made our experience so much better, Karen, Angelica, and Ivan were amazing. We will be returning to this property for more years to come. Please if you are able to stay here please do you will not regret it
The staff was incredible! Loved the location! My group had a great time, only thing I would say is they need to update the info they send beforehand with things to know such as where ATM is, WiFi password, etc. but these were very small things. Otherwise, incredible!

I’m so happy to hear your group had an incredible time Imani! Thank you for your feedback, I will make sure the wifi password details get updated right now! 😊
Excellent staff, superior cleanliness, very good cooking… mango/shrimp salad, fried whole snapper, crab enchiladas. Prime location near the beach. Well consider staying again.
We were 3 generations with 6 kids 11 and under. Lots of space for everyone, great staff who looked after us well and cooked great meals that catered to everyone's tastes. The place is in a great location close to the beach, lots of restaurants (although we ate in most of the time). The place is very much designed for seamless inside/ outside living as advertized. Highly recommend for a family vacation.

Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re so happy your family enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We had the best week in this house as a group of friends and couples. The staff was amazing, attentive and so nice to all of us. The food was incredible and there was nothing that could have been better. I don’t think the photos do the property the justice it deserves - each large suite was well appointed and comfortable.

We are so happy you had a great week enjoying the villa with your friends and family! Thank you for entrusting us with your vacation plans and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Miguel was very helpful and friendly and always available. The staff kept the rooms and common areas very clean and the food was absolutely delicious! Miguel also made some great mixed drinks and had good recommendations for outside events. The house and pool are awesome. Great trip!
This was our second time at the property and, as it was last time, it was amazing. The home was so beautiful, and the staff was perfect. The pool, the location, the food, everything! It was exactly what we’d hoped — a restful, rejuvenating, fun time. Lots of time spent at the beach, in the pool, exploring Bucerias. We can’t wait until our next time back at Hacienda Camino al Mar!
Everything was wonderful. The staff, the food, the location and the margaritas were excellent. Hope to return next year. I have been coming to the PV area for 20 years and my adult children said this was the best for everything.
Our group ranged in age from 1 to 80 and everyone had a great time. The property is beautiful and we had a perfect amount of space. Some family members had not seen each other for quite a while and new happy memories were created around the pool and at the long table enjoying the great meals served by Miguel and the rest of the staff.
The location is perfect and allows for everyone to enjoy their visit whether it is a visit to the beach, the local market, stores or bars and restaurants.
We would highly recommend a stay here.
Miguel, Angie and Olga make this rental unforgettable. From the moment you walk in you are family. They go above and beyond to give their guests an absolutely incredible experience.
This was our 2nd amazing stay here at the house. One reason we came back was the house and location - few mins walk to the beach and a short walk to the Bucerias market and central to many restaurants in the area. The house itself is beautiful and very nice to have ensuite bathrooms in all the rooms. Another big reason we came back was the staff - they were phenomenal. every meal was delicious, our rooms were cleaned daily, and we were taken care like family. highly recommend this place to every one, just don't book the dates we are going!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are very grateful to host such a fun loving family and we look forward to welcoming you back to your home in Bucerias next year!
The Hacienda is fantastic! Upon entry it is like entering a dream - everything looks and is inviting and brilliantly clean! Being met at the door and helped by the staff was nothing short of outstanding! The food, service, help, care and kindness given by the staff was outstanding and they deserve 10 stars! Bucerias is not the prettiest location but it is safe, nice restaurants nearby and the beach extremely close… the beach is huge, the waves or current too strong (in April) for young children and we are spoilt in Australia with abundance of beautiful beaches so this one was not comparable.
Thank you Sergio, Maria and Angela for making our stay so relaxing and wonderful!
Everything was great. House itself was wonderful. Amazing details. Plenty of private space. But the staff take the experience to a different level. Super attentive. Gracious. Fantastic food.
Never stayed somewhere with full service like this before. Thought it would be weird having other people in our house. But Miguel, Angela, and Olga are so unobtrusive.
The location is good. Easy walking to a number of shops and restaurants. Cafe and sports bar immediately next door. Conveniences without being in the middle of hustle and bustle.

Thank you so much for taking a moment to share your experience! I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay, the staff, and location! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We were 6 couples who stayed here for a week. I would highly recommend! The staff were always cheerful and so very helpful! Miguel took very good care of us, helping with carrying/setup on beach days (even delivering beverages one afternoon!), driving to banks to help exchange monies, arranging transportation for outings, and keeping us well stocked. Olga’s food choices and meal preparations were FANTASTIC! So delicious, and the family style around the table made for some great memories! YAY! Angelica kept us neat and tidy without ever being intrusive and her smile lights up a room! There was plenty of space for the 12 of us without feeling crowded! We swam in the pool and also enjoyed the rooftop area! I feel safe saying that we would all return to this hacienda!

Trully Amazing
Don't belive the pictures... as good as they look, this place is even better. We stay there on a extended period (4 weeks) in a multi generation kind of vacation. It's was my mom, 70's birthday and we have a mixture of friends and family coming at different time over one month. It's was perfect. The house of course, but even more so the staff. We also very much appreciated to be a little town, with shopping, restaurant and a market as opposed to be confined to a expat gated community. We were with kids and felt absolutely safe all the time. The town is also very well located and you can explore the area (rental car is recommended if you was to tour the region). Overall could not have ask for more. Merci Shayne, Alejandro, Denise and Angelina that was a vacation of a life time!

Merci beaucoup Jean-Francois! We are honored that you chose the villa for a month to celebrate such a special milestone with all of your family! The staff loved your family (hopefully they learned some French!) and I am thrilled that you had the vacation of a lifetime! ! It was such a pleasure to host you and we all hope you’ll return to your home in Mexico one of these days!
We spent a week at this lovely villa, and it was the perfect space for our family of ten. Each well-sized bedroom came with its own ensuite, providing everyone with a private retreat. The outdoor area was beautifully equipped, and the large open-air dining space became our favorite spot for family meals.
What truly made this villa feel like a home away from home, however, was the incredible staff. Karen, Marian, and Nazlyn were outstanding. They went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, from personalized food choices to flexible meal times, all while maintaining impeccable cleanliness throughout the villa. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made our stay unforgettable.
My only suggestion would be to improve the lighting around the outdoor dining table. The installed floor lights weren’t working, which made it challenging to play games in the evenings. Other than that small detail, it was an exceptional week!
