We heard about Villa Bella from a friend in Austin, Texas and feel incredibly blessed to have stayed there for our honeymoon. The owner and staff were accommodating and delightful. The Owner's Apartment is a must for anyone who wants to really pamper themselves. The daily breakfast was fresh and amazing a great opportunity to meet the other guests. The... more

My wife and I visited Villa Bella last week with another couple and I must say the time spent with Elsa and her staff was excellent. Our room accomodations were great; the view was spectacular and Rosa's breakfasts were great! Sabrina and Carlos made wicked margaritas and pinas. On Saturday morning we could see whales jumping in the bay. A... more

I still continue to think about my experience at Villa Bella. Elsa made us feel right at home the moment we arrived. It is a beautiful place to stay and exhale...especially with the incredible view...I continue to dream of Rosa's huevos rancheros.. A definite gem! more

I think Villa Bella is over rated. You can get better deals in La Cruz wich is a lovely little town. Our breakfasts came from Walmart. I think Elsa picked up the fruit from Walmart on her way in.

From the time that Elsa picked us up at the airport to each day when she helped us coordinate... more

We just returned from a week stay for our honeymoon at Villa Bella B&B in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, about 20 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. Our hostess, Elsa, was the most inviting, friendly, and accomodating hostess we have every encountered. Elsa is a warm-hearted and friendly person and we felt like 'one of the family' during our stay. The... more

My husband and I made our 3rd visit to Villa Bella this year. It is set in the little town of La Cruz, which it seems is growing very quickly....not sure if this is a good thing. I will not repeat all the good things that have been said.....they are all true. Elsa, the owner, is the key to this... more

I just spent from May 27- June 2 at the Villa Bella. From the moment I arrived I got personal attention. I loved Elsa and her incredible staff. The breakfast is wonderful. The B&B has a beautiful view of the bay of Banderas. There was a full moon while there and the view of the bay was absolutely stunning. The... more
