About the host
Hosted by Villatel Team
Hi, we’re Villatel. We apply upscale hotel standards to the villa rental experience. Villa + hotel = Villatel, get it?
Like Hyatt, Marriott, or Four Seasons in the hotel industry, we’re on a mission to become the first “flag” hospitality brand for vacation rentals—by offering you the accommodations, guest experience, and consistency you can trust and count on over and over again.
How can we achieve that? As a vertically integrated hospitality brand, we’re the ONLY company that owns the ENTIRE process of creating and managing vacation rentals—from building, custom-designing, and servicing each and every home, to providing elevated customer service to you, our esteemed guests. So we don’t just wait and hope you have an incredible getaway. We pull every lever possible to make it a reality.
Why they chose this property
In addition to offering beautiful villas with incredible in-house entertainment, we want our guests to enjoy easy, convenient access to hotel-style amenities and amazing local attractions. That’s why every Villatel home is located inside of a larger vacation resort with features like resort pools, restaurants, playgrounds, sports courts, walking trails, and water parks. And it’s just a short drive from amazing shopping, dining, and theme park attractions. Here’s a glimpse of some of the nearby destinations you can expect to enjoy, depending on the location of your villa.

What makes this property unique
As seasoned travelers with big families, our founders saw firsthand the drawbacks and inconsistencies of the average vacation rental. So, they set out to build and design from scratch a type of vacation property that offers everything they couldn’t find:
Consistently beautiful décor
High bed counts (for up to 34 guests!)
Ultra-spacious living and dining rooms
Epic themed bedrooms for kids
Arcades and movie theaters
Fully stocked kitchens with high-end appliances
The most UNIQUE and MEMORABLE amenities to make your vacay experience unforgettable—from bowling alleys and treehouse rooms to indoor ninja obstacle courses, casinos, karaoke rooms, and huge spa pools.
Gone are the days of bunking with all the kids on squeaky cots, or trekking across land and sea, only to discover that those online pictures you thought you’d be seeing in person…are actually 15 years old! When you book with Villatel, you can rest assured that you and your crew will enjoy a new kind of vacation experience—in a custom-designed home that’s consistently beautiful & reliable, and offers great value.
