Hacienda Villas, not what we expected from website. Mosquito invasion, flooded out of villa, food not good. Bothered by time-share salesman, to the point we needed to be rude. The biggest problem, we were told a set fee for the week and it turned out it was per night. We would never go back, felt were being scamed the whole... more

If you're looking for a top-notch hotel with great, PROMPT service, top shelf alcohol and food that doesn't give you Montezuma's Revenge, then the Hacienda Villas are NOT for you. Besides that, it is a beautiful hotel right on the beach with pleanty of pools. The resort seems to take up a majority of the town, but for some mysterious... more

(April 17-24, 2004)It was a rainy week but the accomodations were spectacular. The marble spiral staircase leading to the enormous patio overlooking our own pool.The lush foliage surrounding our villa looked like Jurassic Park. We were waiting for... more

Do you want to have a villa with full service, pampering 24 hours a day? If so, this is the place to go. Staff is great, they call you everyday to make sure you are taken care of. The villas are private, secluded and not far away from the beach. Breakfast is served at the time you prefer, the staff... more
