La Villa Bella..su hacienda on the Riviera Nayarit

Description from the owner

Live your dreams in a Mexican paradise -- surround yourself with the sun, the moon, the sea, the surf and warm ocean breezes! Leave the commercial resorts behind and experience the real Mexico in the luxury of a colonial style villa – muy privado ( very private), tranquilo (tranquil) and exclusivo (exclusive).

Experience life in a Mexican villa surrounded by towering palms, lush vegetation and endless flowing abundance. Snooze in the hammock, rock in a recliner -- watch the pelicans buzz the tree tops and absorb the syncopated rhythm of the ocean waves -- as they calm your senses. Watch the sun set or rise - as the fishermen cast thei...r nets for the fresh daily catch of sumptuous seafood. Sun and fun by a spectacular sea side pool ...or hang with the locals at the village beach!

Want something more physical: kayak the peninsula, beach comb the coastline, jog the ocean front and surf the breakers that run for miles. Want something less physical: observe the surrounding jungle, visit the local bird estuary or turtle farm, whale watch from the point, sniff the flowers – and count butterflies!

The location of our villa, in the State of Nayarit, is the local bread basket for the pacific coast and a fisherman’s paradise. Hacienda fare will tantalize and please the palate with a delectable menu of selected appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages that are proven favorites. Fruit, vegetable and seafood is purchased fresh from local vendors and prepared by a trained staff. For details: visit the cuisine section of the website.

Come visit the real Mexico -- be enchanted by the natural beauty of the country, the creative talent of local artisans – and love of the local people who are proud of their country and this community: Punta El Custodio, Riviera Nayarit, Platanitos, Mexico.Read more

  Beautiful, remote, relaxing getaway

  Left on 01/03/2012 for a stay in December 2011
  
  

  It's actually located in Platanitos about an hour from Sayulita further north along the coast. The house is 1 of 11 in a gated community called Punta el Custodio. There are some local beach restaurants about 5 minutes away, but for the most part the community is an island unto itself, with the houses immersed in lush tropical vegetation on a bluff overlooking the ocean, seemingly isolated from all else. It takes getting away to another level.
  
  The house is comfortable, with friendly, attentive service from the maid/cook. It doesn't directly overlook the ocean (wrong side of the street), but does have ocean views through palm trees from the 2nd floor balcony. I listened to the sounds of the waves as I slept with the balcony doors open.
  
  The house has a small pool, but I spent more time at the communal pool, which had a larger deck, with more sun exposure, overlooking the beach. Stairs go down to the beach, but the sandy area was relatively small an usually wet. It wasn't idea for lying out. It's more a destination for those who want to surf. There are other beaches nearby for those who want.
  
  The one problem I had was with the Internet. I'm not sure if the service was often broken or had limited daily data transfer, but I often had problems. There's also no TV that I saw, although I could have used it at night.
