Amazing Bachelorette Weekend!

Mark and team were extremely communicative for the year leading up to our trip, during our trip and after our trip which made it a seamless and effortless process. The property is beautiful and so so spacious and nice and the neighborhood is so cute and easy to get around. My group had an amazing time. I just got home yesterday and I miss Villa Amistad already.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Roberts

Host profile image
’m originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to Puerto Vallarta full-time in 2018 with my best friend and fellow co-host, John. After purchasing Villa Amistad in 2019 and completing a full renovation in 2020, I’ve been fortunate to combine my background in high-tech and hospitality with my love of travel, food, and design to create a place that feels both welcoming and thoughtfully curated. I’m proud to call Puerto Vallarta home and to work alongside a small, close-knit local team—many of whom are now close friends. Together, we’re dedicated to providing warm, attentive hospitality, continuously improving, and creating meaningful value and memorable stays for our guests.

Why they chose this property

Villa Amistad is located in one of Puerto Vallarta’s most authentic and historic neighborhoods—where the town originally began and daily life still feels local and personal. You’ll walk cobblestone streets lined with family-owned shops, neighborhood cafés, and small restaurants where many residents have lived for generations and neighbors greet each other by name. It’s a warm, lived-in community that offers a true sense of place rather than a transient tourist zone. From here, you’re only minutes on foot to the beach, art galleries, top restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, giving you the rare combination of a genuine Mexican neighborhood and easy access to everything Puerto Vallarta is known for.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique? It’s the personal touch and attention to detail you’ll only find in a locally owned and thoughtfully managed villa.

Villa Amistad is managed by Mark, a full-time Puerto Vallarta resident since 2018 with a background in high-tech, travel, and hospitality. Drawing on experiences from top stays around the world, Mark has designed a space that’s both luxurious and intuitive. Expect premium linens, extra pillows, smartly placed outlets and switches, superior coffee, and daily housekeeping that keeps your stay effortless.

The villa offers safe, delicious tap water thanks to a 5-stage filtration system—no bottled water needed. Just bring a reusable bottle and refill as you explore. High-speed 1 Gbps Wi-Fi ensures seamless connectivity, while curated Mexican artwork and tranquil surroundings create an inviting atmosphere.

We’ve thought of everything so you can fully relax:

- A heated saltwater pool for winter swims

- Daily housekeeping included

- A digital guidebook with local tips, integrated with Google Maps, book an in-house massage directly within the guide!

- Onsite Honor Bar with a wonderful convenient selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available 24 hours a day

- Concierge service to arrange airport transport, private chefs, custom tours—even romantic beach picnics

Unlike impersonal management companies or absentee hosts, Mark and the Villa Amistad team live nearby and respond quickly—often within minutes. Guest feedback often highlights our fast service, thoughtful upgrades, and authentic Mexican vibe.

We continuously improve the property, blending local charm with modern convenience, ensuring that each visit is better than the last.

Enjoy breathtaking sunsets, winter whale watching, and a peaceful hillside setting—all without needing to rent the full villa. At Villa Amistad, we’re committed to offering a genuinely memorable, stress-free stay in Puerto Vallarta.
